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 Newmarket and nearby

Newmarket is about 34 miles from Ipswich, the main centre for Suffolk. We can survey and fit across the CB8 district and in nearby places such as Haverhill and Cambridge.

Suffolk has timber-framed and listed buildings in its market towns, Ipswich's Victorian terraces and waterfront, and coastal towns such as Lowestoft.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
Ground-floor flats
Period homes with timber French doors
French doors to gardens

Things to decide before you order

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.

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.

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.
