Getting the right certified grille for your building

Installation

A certified grille only performs as tested if it is fixed into a suitable structure as the manufacturer specifies.

Which rating you need

Start from your insurer's or specifier's requirement rather than choosing the highest number.

What the rules say in Wales

Wales

External grilles and planning

External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local planning authority. Welsh councils' shopfront and design guidance generally favours internal, see-through security over solid external shutters.

Grilles across exits in business premises

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, including to the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs. The responsible person must keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present, so a grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.
