Getting the right bi-fold gate for your building

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.

What the rules say in Wales

Wales

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Wales, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the local planning authority with Cadw's involvement where required. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Bi-folding security gates in Aberdare: questions

Which areas near Aberdare do you cover?

We can arrange work in Aberdare and in nearby Rhondda (4 miles), Merthyr Tydfil (4 miles) and Tonypandy (6 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.

Can a bi-fold gate go outside?

Yes, with galvanised steel and an external-grade track, though most are fitted inside.
