What to know about retractable security grilles in Braintree

Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts. Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters.

The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices. Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door.

Features to choose from

  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • Rated products available on request
  • No shutter box needed
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side

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.

Before you book in Braintree

Do you cover Braintree?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Braintree and the CM7 district, as part of our coverage across Essex.

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 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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
