A patio door grille is a wide retractable grille fitted inside sliding patio or bifold doors. Closed, it protects a large glazed opening that is often out of sight at the back of the house; open, it folds into slim stacks so the view and access are unaffected.

- Works with sliding, lift-and-slide and bifold doors

What to think about first
Track
A low-profile track keeps the threshold easy to walk over. Recessed tracks need a little floor work.
Where it parks
Bifold doors stack their own leaves to one side; the grille stack should not fight them.
Consents and safety: England
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.
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.

Patio and bifold door grilles in Seaford: questions
Do you cover Eastbourne as well as Seaford?
Yes. As well as Seaford, we can arrange surveys in nearby Eastbourne, Hailsham and Brighton, and elsewhere in East Sussex.
Can the grille be fitted outside the patio doors?
It can, but inside is usual because the grille is protected and the outside of the house stays the same.
How long does fitting take?
A typical set of patio doors takes half a day once the grille is made.
Can I walk over the grille track?
Yes. Low-profile tracks are a few millimetres high, and recessed tracks sit flush with the floor.
