Argyll and Bute is largely coastal and rural, with Oban, Dunoon, Helensburgh and Campbeltown as the main towns and many island properties.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Ground-floor flats
- French doors to gardens
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
- Period homes with timber French doors
Things to decide before you order
Curtains and blinds
Stack positions are planned around curtain tracks and returns.
Upper floors
A grille behind Juliet balcony doors needs to keep any required escape route usable.
Rules that apply in Scotland
Bedroom and escape windows
In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by the Building Standards technical handbooks (section 2, fire). Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.
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.

French door grilles in Oban: questions
Can you survey in Oban and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Oban, Fort William, Dunoon and elsewhere in Argyll and Bute are booked around installer availability.
My French doors open inwards. Can I still have a grille?
Yes. The grille is set back from the doors so they can swing open, or fitted outside if there is no room inside.
Will the grille match my doors?
We powder-coat grilles in white, black, anthracite or a RAL colour close to your frames.
Do French door grilles need a floor track?
Usually a low-profile one, which keeps the grille rigid and is easy to step over.
