What are Grill Rolling Shutters?

Grill rolling shutters, or as they are commonly known, chain link roller shutters, provide a secure internal boundary without restricting the visibility or acoustics of an inside space. Manufactured from aluminium, grill rolling shutters serve as an easy-to-use alternative to concertina shutters and feature in numerous independent stores, shopping centres and medical centres around the country.

As the design of grill rolling shutters allows passersby to browse window displays outside of opening hours, this has made them popular with council planning departments that discourage solid roller shutters for fear of decreasing the perceived economic value of their local communities.

Sectors for Rolling Grill Shutters

Bars, Venues, and Restaurants - Secure your space after hours without blocking visibility or airflow

Counters, Pharmacies, and Dispensaries - Protect stock and staff with lockable, see-through shutters.

Shopping Centres and Malls - Ideal for units that need strong security and a professional finish.

Local Shops in Conservation Areas - Maintain charm and compliance while keeping your shop protected.

How Do Grill Rolling Shutters Work?

While most of our shop front shutters can be installed for electric operation, we offer many different types of manual and motorised chain link roller shutters such that you can choose the function and features that best suit your business. Our manual shutter options include:

  • Spring and Lock: Reserved for smaller openings and shop front windows, these grill rolling shutters can be raised or lowered by hand, then locked in place via a discreet mechanism.

  • Crank handle: As the name would suggest, this system allows you to open and close your shutters by manually rotating a crank.


With regards to our electric shutters, their method of operation includes:


  • Keypad controls: Whether you prefer a remote control or wall wall-mounted keypad, this system allows you to operate a tubular motor to smoothly extend or retract your grill rolling shutters.

  • Smart controls: By integrating your shutters with your smart security system, you can control them via your preferred smart device and even synchronise them with other features, such as CCTV cameras and alarms.

In the event of power outages, our electric shutters can be manually overridden to prevent access to or securing of your property. If you have any questions about the function of your chain link roller shutters, simply ask our installation team and they will be happy to show you the ropes.

How Much Do Grill Rolling Shutters Cost?

While the type of operation you choose will contribute to the cost of your grill rolling shutters, their size and the number of security integrations will ultimately determine the overall cost of our service. We recommend that you contact us or fill in our quote form for an accurate estimation.

Benefits of Installing Grill Rolling Shutters

1. Reinforced Construction

The aluminium rods that comprise the frame of our grill rolling shutters are extremely resistant to bending or breaking, while the overlapping slats across the surface of these shutters make it virtually impossible for thieves or vandals to gain purchase.

2. Visual Deterrent

The chain link design paired with the rolling motion of these shutters creates a lot of noise whenever they are moved, deterring thieves and intruders from attempting to access your property for fear of alerting anyone nearby.

3. Increased Visibility

The interlinked grill of these rolling shutters provides up to 69% visibility from either side, such that your property and products can still be seen by potential customers when your business or service area is closed.

4. Lightweight Design

By using premium-grade materials in the fabrication of our grill rolling shutters, we can achieve their lightweight profiles without compromising their durability. This reduces the amount of energy required to operate them, whether they are manual or motorised, while making it much easier for you to maintain their respectable appearance. 

5. Security Integrations

Our grill rolling shutters can be paired with various security features, such as locks, alarms and CCTV cameras.

6. Customisable Appearance

During the fabrication of chain link roller shutters, we can powder-coat them in a colour of your choosing from the RAL Colour Chart, so your shutters can complement your branding or bespoke shop front.
