What to think about first

Internal or external

Internal grilles are generally preferred by councils and rarely need planning permission. External shutters or grilles normally need consent, especially in conservation areas.

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.

Insurer requirements

Insurers set their own conditions for business premises, stock and cash. If your policy names a type or rating of grille, get the wording in writing before ordering.

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 Largs: questions

Do you cover Dunoon as well as Largs?

Yes. As well as Largs, we can arrange surveys in nearby Dunoon, Saltcoats and Greenock, and elsewhere in Ayrshire.

Can the grille cover the shop door too?

Yes. The door is covered by its own leaf, by a separate gate, or by including it in the main grille run.

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 customers see into the shop with the grille closed?

Yes. An open lattice or open-mesh roller grille keeps the display visible, which helps window shopping after hours and natural surveillance of the street.
