Getting the right certified grille for your building
Cost and weight
Higher ratings mean heavier, more expensive grilles that need stronger fixing points.
Installation
A certified grille only performs as tested if it is fixed into a suitable structure as the manufacturer specifies.
What the rules say 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.
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.

LPS 1175 certified security grilles in Bedfordshire: questions
Which towns in Bedfordshire do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Bedfordshire, including Luton, Bedford, Dunstable, Leighton Buzzard and Ampthill.
What do ratings like C5 or SR3 mean?
Under Issue 8 the letter is the threat level (the toolkit) and the number is the minutes of delay. SR1 to SR8 is the older scale; for example SR2 roughly corresponds to B3 and SR3 to C5.
What does LPS 1175 mean?
It is a security standard published by the Loss Prevention Certification Board. Products are attack-tested and certified to a rating showing the toolkit they resisted and for how long.
Can an existing grille be certified?
No. Certification applies to manufactured products that have been tested; an existing uncertified grille cannot be upgraded to a rating.
