Bi-folding security gates in Perth and Kinross: what will it cost?
Most bi-folding security gates in Perth and Kinross fall within £954 to £2,634 including VAT (£795 to £2,195 plus VAT) per opening for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
A bi-folding security gate is made of hinged leaves of vertical bars that fold against each other as they slide along a top track. It covers wide openings like a retractable grille but folds into fewer, flatter panels with no scissor lattice.

Getting the right bi-fold gate for your building
Floor guide
A bottom guide keeps the leaves aligned. Recessed guides keep the floor flush.
Infill
Add mesh or solid panels where you want to stop reach-through or hide the area behind.
What the rules say in Scotland
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.
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 Perth and Kinross: questions
Which towns in Perth and Kinross do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Perth and Kinross, including Perth, Blairgowrie, Crieff and Pitlochry.
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.
How wide can a bi-fold gate be?
From a single doorway up to several metres, split to fold both ways on wider openings.
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.
