- Mesh or solid infill panels on request
- Suits openings from a single door width to several metres
- Top-hung on a heavy track with bottom guides
- Rigid hinged leaves of vertical bars

County Durham's stock is dominated by brick terraces in former colliery towns, alongside the listed historic core of Durham city and Teesside's commercial centres.

- Wide internal openings
- Garden room and orangery openings
- Loading doors and goods-in
- Office receptions and showrooms
Questions we will ask at the survey
Folded stack size
Leaves stack flatter than a lattice but each leaf has a fixed width, so the stack is planned with the room layout.
Look
Bi-folds read as a screen rather than a lattice, which suits modern interiors.
Planning and safety in England
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.
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.
