A roller security grille is a curtain of linked aluminium or steel tubes that coils into a box above the opening. Lowered, it gives an open-mesh barrier you can see through; raised, it leaves the full width clear with nothing parked at the sides.

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 roller security grilles:
- Shops with deep heads above the glazing
- Wide internal openings and lobbies
- Counters and kiosks
- Shopping centre and arcade units
Getting the right roller grille for your building
Head space
The coil box needs height above the opening. If there is no room inside, a retractable grille is usually a better fit.
Manual or electric
Small grilles work well by hand. Anything large, high or used several times a day is easier and safer with a motor.
What the rules say in Scotland
Electric roller grilles
Electric grilles need a suitable supply wired to BS 7671, with some work needing a building warrant in Scotland. Powered grilles should have working safety devices and regular maintenance.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Roller security grilles in Thurso: questions
Can you work in Thurso?
Work in Thurso is arranged individually because of travel. Send your postcode and details and we will confirm what is possible.
Can a roller grille be fitted inside a shop window?
Yes, where there is enough clear height above the window for the coil and guides. It is a neat option because nothing is left at the sides.
Is a roller grille the same as a roller shutter?
No. A shutter uses solid or perforated slats; a grille uses an open mesh of tubes and links, so you can see through it and air can pass.
Do electric roller grilles need servicing?
Yes. Powered grilles should be inspected and maintained regularly, including the motor, safety devices and manual override, so they stay safe to use.
