What to think about first
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.
Infill
Add mesh or solid panels where you want to stop reach-through or hide the area behind.
Consents and safety: 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.
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 Bushey: questions
Do you cover Watford as well as Bushey?
Yes. As well as Bushey, we can arrange surveys in nearby Watford, Borehamwood and Harrow, and elsewhere in Hertfordshire.
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.
How wide can a bi-fold gate be?
From a single doorway up to several metres, split to fold both ways on wider openings.
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.
