Choosing retractable security grilles for premises in Kent

The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices. Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages. Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation.

Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed.

What's included

  • No shutter box needed
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • Internal or external fitting
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Rated products available on request
  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side

Covering Kent

We cover Kent from Maidstone to Gillingham, Chatham and Tunbridge Wells, with 23 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

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.

Questions about retractable security grilles in Kent

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

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

What warranty do I get?

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