Choices you can make
- Rigid hinged leaves of vertical bars
- Neat folded stack for receptions and showrooms
- Top-hung on a heavy track with bottom guides
- Suits openings from a single door width to several metres
- Lock box on the leading leaf plus shoot bolts
- Fold to one or both sides

Questions we will ask at the survey
Floor guide
A bottom guide keeps the leaves aligned. Recessed guides keep the floor flush.
Look
Bi-folds read as a screen rather than a lattice, which suits modern interiors.
Planning and safety 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 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.
