What to think about first

Floor guide

A bottom guide keeps the leaves aligned. Recessed guides keep the floor flush.

Look

Bi-folds read as a screen rather than a lattice, which suits modern interiors.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Bi-folding security gates in Cambridge: questions

Can you survey in Cambridge and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Cambridge, Newmarket, Huntingdon and elsewhere in Cambridgeshire are booked around installer availability.

Can a bi-fold gate go outside?

Yes, with galvanised steel and an external-grade track, though most are fitted inside.

Can bi-fold gates be powder-coated to match our frames?

Yes, in most RAL colours.

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.
