Greater Manchester is dominated by red-brick terraces and mill-town centres, with converted mills, modern city-centre flats and large retail parks.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Loading doors and goods-in
- Garden room and orangery openings
- Office receptions and showrooms
- Restaurant and bar frontages
Things to decide before you order
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.
Floor guide
A bottom guide keeps the leaves aligned. Recessed guides keep the floor flush.
Rules that apply in England
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 across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.

Bi-folding security gates in Whitefield: questions
Do you cover Radcliffe as well as Whitefield?
Yes. As well as Whitefield, we can arrange surveys in nearby Radcliffe, Prestwich and Bury, and elsewhere in Greater Manchester.
Can a bi-fold gate go outside?
Yes, with galvanised steel and an external-grade track, though most are fitted inside.
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.
