French door grilles are usually a pair of retractable grilles that fold to each side of the doors and meet in the centre, where they lock together. They protect the glazing and the meeting stiles, which are the weak point of many French doors.

Fitting in Maidenhead and nearby

Maidenhead is about 12 miles from Reading, the main centre for Berkshire. We can survey and fit across the SL6 district and in nearby places such as Slough and Windsor.

Berkshire mixes Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Reading, commuter semis along the Thames Valley and modern business parks around Slough and Bracknell.

This type of grille suits:

Ground-floor flats
Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
Dining rooms and kitchens
Period homes with timber French doors

Questions we will ask at the survey

Door swing

Inward-opening doors need the grille set back far enough to clear the leaves.

Upper floors

A grille behind Juliet balcony doors needs to keep any required escape route usable.

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.

Bedroom and escape windows

Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.
