Getting the right bi-fold gate for your building
Look
Bi-folds read as a screen rather than a lattice, which suits modern interiors.
Infill
Add mesh or solid panels where you want to stop reach-through or hide the area behind.
What the rules say 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.
