Door swing
Inward-opening doors need the grille set back far enough to clear the leaves.
Consents and safety: Wales
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.
Bedroom and escape windows
Wales has its own Approved Documents under the Building Regulations. Approved Document B for Wales sets out escape window provisions for dwellings broadly in line with England's, including minimum opening sizes. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

French door grilles in Wrexham: questions
Can you survey in Wrexham and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Wrexham, Rhosllanerchrugog, Buckley and elsewhere in Clwyd are booked around installer availability.
How long does it take to fit?
Usually two to three hours once the grilles arrive.
Can French door grilles open one side only?
Yes. Each leaf runs independently, so you can open one side and leave the other closed.
My French doors open inwards. Can I still have a grille?
Yes. The grille is set back from the doors so they can swing open, or fitted outside if there is no room inside.
