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
- Fitting scheduled outside trading hours where possible
- Multi-leaf retractable layouts for windows several metres wide
- Door leaf or separate gate across the entrance
- Stack positions planned around stallrisers, pilasters and display units
- Fitted behind the glass so the shopfront itself is unchanged
- Brushed, galvanised, white, black or RAL colours

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.
Risk level
Phone shops, jewellers and pharmacies may want heavier sections, more locking points or a certified product.

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.
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.

Shopfront security grilles in Bordon: questions
Can you survey in Bordon and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Bordon, Farnham, Aldershot and elsewhere in Hampshire are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
