Perforated steel screens let light and air in while keeping people out, and come down cleanly when the building is reoccupied.

Fitting in South Croydon and nearby
South Croydon is about 10 miles from Central London, the main centre for Greater London. We can survey and fit across the CR2 district and in nearby places such as Croydon and Purley.
London's buildings range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks to post-war estates, with long high streets of ground-floor shops below flats.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Development sites before works
- Empty shops and offices
- Buildings between tenants
- Properties awaiting sale or probate
Things to decide before you order
Access
Decide who needs access and whether a key or code lock suits them.
Ventilation
Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.
Rules that apply in England
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.
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; the insurer decides whether a product meets it.

Do screens damage the building?
Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.
