How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for
Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in.
Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment. Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages.
Options we can specify
- Internal or external fitting
- Rated products available on request
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- No shutter box needed
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL

Rules in Scotland
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

Retractable security grilles: common questions
Do you cover Livingston?
Yes. Livingston (EH54) is within our Edinburgh & the Lothians coverage, along with nearby Bathgate, Dunfermline and Falkirk.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
