Consents and safety: 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.
Electric roller grilles
Electric grilles need a suitable supply wired to BS 7671, with some work needing a building warrant in Scotland. Powered grilles should have working safety devices and regular maintenance.
