Bi-folds read as a screen rather than a lattice, which suits modern interiors.

Floor guide

A bottom guide keeps the leaves aligned. Recessed guides keep the floor flush.

Consents and safety: Scotland

Scotland

Grilles across exits in business premises

In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Bi-folding security gates in Thurso: questions

Can you work in Thurso?

Work in Thurso is arranged individually because of travel. Send your postcode and details and we will confirm what is possible.

How wide can a bi-fold gate be?

From a single doorway up to several metres, split to fold both ways on wider openings.

Do bi-fold gates need a floor track?

They need some bottom guidance, which can be a recessed channel or discreet floor pins rather than a raised track.

What is the difference between a bi-fold gate and a retractable grille?

A retractable grille uses a scissor lattice that concertinas; a bi-fold gate uses rigid hinged leaves that fold flat. Bi-folds look more architectural; retractables fold into a narrower stack.
