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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

French door grilles in Newcastle upon Tyne: questions

Which areas near Newcastle upon Tyne do you cover?

We can arrange work in Newcastle upon Tyne and in nearby Gateshead (1 mile), Felling (2 miles) and Wallsend (3 miles). Dates depend on 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.

Will the grille match my doors?

We powder-coat grilles in white, black, anthracite or a RAL colour close to your frames.
