What you can specify
- Neat integration with countertops
- Manual operation for small openings
- Retractable options where there is side space
- Stainless or aluminium to suit food areas
- Compact coil boxes for low heads
- Fixing to counters, bulkheads or subframes

Things to decide before you order
Daily use
Choose a light action if staff open and close it several times a day.
Fire separation
If the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a standard grille does not replace a fire shutter.
Rules that apply in England
Grilles across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
