Getting the right bi-fold gate for your building

Floor guide

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

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.

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.

Bi-folding security gates in Isleworth: questions

Do you cover Hounslow as well as Isleworth?

Yes. As well as Isleworth, we can arrange surveys in nearby Hounslow, Heston and Richmond, and elsewhere in Greater London.

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.

How wide can a bi-fold gate be?

From a single doorway up to several metres, split to fold both ways on wider openings.

Can a bi-fold gate go outside?

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