Getting the right removable grille for your building

Where it is stored

Plan where the panel lives when it is out, because a grille propped behind a door is easily damaged.

Locking

Choose keyed pins for everyday use, or padlock hasps if you prefer to use your own padlocks.

What the rules say in Scotland

Scotland

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.

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.

Removable security grilles in Stornoway: questions

Can you work in Stornoway?

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

Are removable grilles suitable for listed buildings?

Often, because the only permanent fixings are small brackets. Listed building consent may still be needed, so check with your council first.

What is the difference between removable and retractable grilles?

A retractable grille folds to the side but stays in place; a removable grille comes out completely. Retractable suits daily use, removable suits occasional use.

How heavy is a removable grille panel?

It depends on size and bar section. We aim to keep each panel light enough for one person to lift, splitting large windows into two panels.
