Where French door grilles are most often used:
- French doors to gardens
- Period homes with timber French doors
- Dining rooms and kitchens
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
What to think about first
Upper floors
A grille behind Juliet balcony doors needs to keep any required escape route usable.
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.
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.

French door grilles in Caernarfon: questions
Can you survey in Caernarfon and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Caernarfon, Bangor, Pwllheli and elsewhere in Gwynedd are booked around installer availability.
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.
How long does it take to fit?
Usually two to three hours once the grilles arrive.
