How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for

Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent. Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages.

Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment.

Specification options

  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • No shutter box needed

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.

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

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

Retractable security grilles: common questions

Do you cover Boston?

Yes. Boston (PE21) is within our Lincolnshire coverage, along with nearby Spalding, Skegness and Wisbech.

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 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.

What warranty do I get?

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

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
