How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for
Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages. Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent.
Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment. Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation.
Options we can specify
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- Rated products available on request
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- No shutter box needed

Rules in Northern Ireland
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In Northern Ireland planning permission for an external shopfront shutter is decided by your local council, which took over most planning decisions in 2015, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Design guidance generally favours shutters that keep the frontage visible.

Before you book in Ballymena
Do you cover Ballymena?
Yes. Ballymena (BT42) is within our County Antrim coverage, along with nearby Antrim, Larne and Newtownabbey.
Are grilles as secure as shutters?
A good grille with top and bottom tracks is a strong deterrent and hard to defeat quickly. For tested security, rated grilles are available.
Do grilles get in the way during the day?
Retractable grilles fold neatly to the side of the opening. Removable grilles can be lifted out and stored.
Can a grille be fitted on a fire exit?
Only if it can be opened quickly from the inside without a key, and the fire risk assessment allows it. We check this before fitting.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
