Infill

Add mesh or solid panels where you want to stop reach-through or hide the area behind.

Look

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

What the rules say in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, with the council deciding and the Department for Communities' Historic Environment Division advising. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes.

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Northern Ireland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Bi-folding security gates in Newtownabbey: questions

Which areas near Newtownabbey do you cover?

We can arrange work in Newtownabbey and in nearby Holywood (3 miles), Belfast (4 miles) and Carrickfergus (6 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

Do bi-fold gates need a floor track?

They need some bottom guidance, which can be a recessed channel or discreet floor pins rather than a raised track.

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

Yes, in most RAL colours.
