Vacant property grilles and screens are steel panels or grilles fixed over the windows and doors of an empty building to stop break-ins, squatting, fly-tipping and vandalism. Perforated steel screens let light and air in while keeping people out, and come down cleanly when the building is reoccupied.
Choices you can make
- Anti-tamper fixings
- Steel security door with a key or code lock
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Removal and making good at reoccupation
- Light and ventilation through perforations

For short voids, screens are quick to put up and take down.
Ventilation
Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.
Planning and safety in Scotland
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.
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for business premises, stock and cash. If your policy names a type or rating of grille, get the wording in writing before ordering.
