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. Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door.

Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages. Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts.

Specification options

  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • No shutter box needed
  • Internal or external fitting
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side
  • 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.

  4. We fit and commission

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

Your questions answered

Do you cover Margate?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Margate and the CT9 district, as part of our coverage across Kent.

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.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

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