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

Door leaf or separate gate across the entrance
Stack positions planned around stallrisers, pilasters and display units
Internal open-mesh roller grilles where there is head space for the coil
Fitting scheduled outside trading hours where possible
Fitted behind the glass so the shopfront itself is unchanged
Multi-leaf retractable layouts for windows several metres wide

What to think about first

Internal or external

Where the stack parks

We plan stack positions around displays, pilasters and the door so the grille folds away without blocking stock.

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.

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Shopfront security grilles in Chadderton: questions

Which areas near Chadderton do you cover?

We can arrange work in Chadderton and in nearby Oldham (1 mile), Royton (2 miles) and Middleton (2 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 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.
