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.
What you can specify
- Locks operable from inside
- Multi-leaf grilles for openings up to several metres
- Low-profile or recessed floor tracks
- Stacks positioned to clear handles and curtains
- Optional extra locking points for wide spans
- White, black, anthracite or RAL

Things to decide before you order
Where it parks
Bifold doors stack their own leaves to one side; the grille stack should not fight them.
Track
A low-profile track keeps the threshold easy to walk over. Recessed tracks need a little floor work.
Rules that apply in 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.
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.

Patio and bifold door grilles in Colchester: questions
Do you cover Sudbury as well as Colchester?
Yes. As well as Colchester, we can arrange surveys in nearby Sudbury, Clacton-on-Sea and Witham, and elsewhere in Essex.
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.
Do patio grilles block the view?
When open, only a slim stack at each side. When closed, the lattice is open enough to see the garden clearly.
Can I walk over the grille track?
Yes. Low-profile tracks are a few millimetres high, and recessed tracks sit flush with the floor.
