What to think about first

Look

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

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 Farnborough: questions

Can you survey in Farnborough and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Farnborough, Camberley, Aldershot and elsewhere in Hampshire are booked around installer availability.

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

Yes, in most RAL colours.

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.

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.
