Getting the right bi-fold gate for your building

Folded stack size

Leaves stack flatter than a lattice but each leaf has a fixed width, so the stack is planned with the room layout.

Look

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

What the rules say in 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.

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Bi-folding security gates in Rutherglen: questions

We can arrange work in Rutherglen and in nearby Cambuslang (2 miles), Glasgow (3 miles) and East Kilbride (5 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Can bi-fold gates be powder-coated to match our frames?

Yes, in most RAL colours.

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.

Can a bi-fold gate go outside?

Yes, with galvanised steel and an external-grade track, though most are fitted inside.
