What to know about retractable security grilles in Blackpool
Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices.
Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment. Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation.
Specification options
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- Rated products available on request
- Internal or external fitting
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL

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.

Retractable security grilles: common questions
Do you cover Blackpool?
Yes. Blackpool (FY1) is within our Lancashire coverage, along with nearby Thornton-Cleveleys, Lytham St Annes and Fleetwood.
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.
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 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.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
