A shopfront security grille is a wide retractable or roller grille fitted behind the shop window and entrance. It protects the glass line after closing while leaving the display visible, which is why many councils prefer it to a solid external shutter.
What you can specify
- Fitted behind the glass so the shopfront itself is unchanged
- Brushed, galvanised, white, black or RAL colours
- Fitting scheduled outside trading hours where possible
- Door leaf or separate gate across the entrance
- Multi-leaf retractable layouts for windows several metres wide
- Stack positions planned around stallrisers, pilasters and display units

North-east Scotland is known for granite tenements and houses in Aberdeen, fishing towns along the coast and stone-built market towns inland.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Convenience stores and off-licences
- High-street shops and boutiques
- Cafés, restaurants and takeaways
- Pharmacies and opticians
Things to decide before you order
Risk level
Phone shops, jewellers and pharmacies may want heavier sections, more locking points or a certified product.
Lattice or roller
Retractable lattice suits most shop windows. An internal roller grille needs space for the coil above the window but leaves nothing at the sides.
Rules that apply 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.
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the council under the Scottish planning system. Councils' shopfront guidance commonly prefers internal, open-mesh security, particularly in conservation areas and town centres.

Shopfront security grilles in Elgin: questions
Which areas near Elgin do you cover?
We can arrange work in Elgin and in nearby Nairn (21 miles), Inverness (36 miles) and Aviemore (37 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Will my insurer accept a grille?
Some insurers specify grilles or shutters for certain stock or cash levels. Send us their wording and we will quote to it; the insurer decides whether a product meets their policy.
Do I need planning permission for a shop grille?
An internal grille behind the glass does not usually need planning permission. External shutters and grilles normally do, and listed buildings need listed building consent for internal or external works that affect their character.
Can you fit the grille without closing the shop?
Usually. Fitting is noisy for short spells while tracks are drilled, so we offer early-morning or after-closing slots where the installer's schedule allows.
