What to think about first
Curtains and blinds
Stack positions are planned around curtain tracks and returns.
Door swing
Inward-opening doors need the grille set back far enough to clear the leaves.
Consents and safety: England
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.
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.

French door grilles in Worthing: questions
Do you cover Portslade as well as Worthing?
Yes. As well as Worthing, we can arrange surveys in nearby Portslade, Littlehampton and Hove, and elsewhere in West Sussex.
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.
Will the grille match my doors?
We powder-coat grilles in white, black, anthracite or a RAL colour close to your frames.
