Fitting in Strabane and nearby
Strabane is about 17 miles from Omagh, the main centre for County Tyrone. We can survey and fit across the BT82 district and in nearby places such as Derry and Omagh.
County Tyrone is largely rural, with market towns such as Omagh, Dungannon, Strabane and Cookstown.
Where French door grilles are most often used:
- Ground-floor flats
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
- Period homes with timber French doors
- French doors to gardens
What to think about first
Upper floors
A grille behind Juliet balcony doors needs to keep any required escape route usable.
Curtains and blinds
Stack positions are planned around curtain tracks and returns.
Consents and safety: Northern Ireland
Bedroom and escape windows
Fire safety in new building work in Northern Ireland is covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E. Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Northern Ireland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

French door grilles in Strabane: questions
Can you survey in Strabane and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Strabane, Derry, Omagh and elsewhere in County Tyrone are booked around installer availability.
Will the grille match my doors?
We powder-coat grilles in white, black, anthracite or a RAL colour close to your frames.
Do French door grilles need a floor track?
Usually a low-profile one, which keeps the grille rigid and is easy to step over.
Can French door grilles open one side only?
Yes. Each leaf runs independently, so you can open one side and leave the other closed.
