How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for

Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages. 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

  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • No shutter box needed
  • Rated products available on request
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Retractable security grilles: common questions

Do you cover Darlington?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Darlington. We also cover nearby Newton Aycliffe, Stockton-on-Tees and Thornaby-on-Tees.

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 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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
