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.

We can arrange work in Houghton-le-Spring and in nearby Chester-le-Street (5 miles), Washington (5 miles) and Seaham (5 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Do French door grilles need a floor track?

Usually a low-profile one, which keeps the grille rigid and is easy to step over.

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.

Can French door grilles open one side only?

Yes. Each leaf runs independently, so you can open one side and leave the other closed.
