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 goes into a shopfront grille
- Fitting scheduled outside trading hours where possible
- Brushed, galvanised, white, black or RAL colours
- Fitted behind the glass so the shopfront itself is unchanged
- Stack positions planned around stallrisers, pilasters and display units
- Door leaf or separate gate across the entrance
- Heavier sections and extra locking for higher-risk trades

What to think about first
Risk level
Phone shops, jewellers and pharmacies may want heavier sections, more locking points or a certified product.
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.
Consents and safety: Wales
Grilles across exits in business premises
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, including to the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs. The responsible person must keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present, so 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 local planning authority. Welsh councils' shopfront and design guidance generally favours internal, see-through security over solid external shutters.

Shopfront security grilles in Llandrindod Wells: questions
Can you survey in Llandrindod Wells and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Llandrindod Wells, Newtown, Brecon and elsewhere in Powys 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.
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.
