How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for
Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment. Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed.
Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation. The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices.
Specification options
- Internal or external fitting
- Rated products available on request
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- No shutter box needed

Rules in England
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Consett?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Consett. We also cover nearby Stanley, Chester-le-Street and Durham.
Do retractable grilles need planning permission?
Grilles fitted inside the glazing usually do not need planning permission, though listed buildings may need consent. External grilles are treated like other external security and often need permission.
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.
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.
