A counter or hatch grille is a small roller or retractable grille that closes off a serving hatch, kiosk window, bar or reception counter. It secures the opening between the public side and the stock or till behind, while staying compact enough for tight spaces.
What you can specify
- Bottom-rail or side locks
- Fixing to counters, bulkheads or subframes
- Retractable options where there is side space
- Neat integration with countertops
- Stainless or aluminium to suit food areas
- Brushed, anodised or powder-coated finishes
Fitting in Inverness and nearby
We can arrange counter and hatch grilles across Inverness, the main centre for Highland, and in nearby towns including Dingwall, Nairn and Aviemore.
The Highlands are one of the most sparsely populated parts of the UK, with Inverness as the main centre and many remote homes, holiday lets and small-town shops.
Common openings for counter and hatch grilles:
- Ticket and reception counters
- Bars and kiosks
- Takeaway and café hatches
- School and canteen serveries
Getting the right hatch grille for your building
Coil box or side stack
Roller grilles need a little head space; retractables need side space.
Food areas
Smooth, cleanable finishes suit kitchens and serveries.
What the rules say in Scotland
Grilles across exits in business premises
In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
