Choices you can make
- Rigid hinged leaves of vertical bars
- Top-hung on a heavy track with bottom guides
- Mesh or solid infill panels on request
- Suits openings from a single door width to several metres
- Lock box on the leading leaf plus shoot bolts
- Black, anthracite and RAL colours

Add mesh or solid panels where you want to stop reach-through or hide the area behind.
Consents and safety: England
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.
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.
