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.

Fitting in Nairn and nearby
Whether you are in central Nairn or at the edge of the IV12 district, we can arrange a survey. Nearby Inverness and Dingwall are covered too.
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 shopfront security grilles:
- Convenience stores and off-licences
- High-street shops and boutiques
- Cafés, restaurants and takeaways
- Pharmacies and opticians
Getting the right shopfront grille for your building
Where the stack parks
We plan stack positions around displays, pilasters and the door so the grille folds away without blocking stock.
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.
What the rules say in Scotland
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.
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 Nairn: questions
Do you cover Inverness as well as Nairn?
Yes. As well as Nairn, we can arrange surveys in nearby Inverness, Dingwall and Elgin, and elsewhere in Highland.
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.
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.
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.
