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.

Choices you can make

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

Things to decide before you order

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.

Rules that apply in Wales

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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the local planning authority with Cadw's involvement where required. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Shopfront security grilles in South Glamorgan: questions

Which towns in South Glamorgan do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in South Glamorgan, including Cardiff, Barry, Penarth and Llantwit Major.

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.

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.

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.
