Planning and safety in Scotland
Grilles in rented homes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the repairing standard, which includes fire safety provisions. Grilles over windows a tenant may need for escape should open from inside without a key.
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.

Do home security grilles look like prison bars?
Not when they are fitted inside the glass in a matching colour. Folded back, a grille is a slim stack at the side of the window.
Are grilles safe if there is a fire?
Yes, provided any window needed for escape has a grille with a keyless internal release. We will not fit a key-only grille over an escape window.
Will grilles affect my home insurance?
Some insurers ask about security measures. Tell your insurer about any changes; they decide whether it affects your policy.
