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 to think about first
Where it parks
Bifold doors stack their own leaves to one side; the grille stack should not fight them.
Usage
If you open the doors every day, ask for a lighter-action grille with smooth runners.
Consents and safety: Scotland
Bedroom and escape windows
In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by the Building Standards technical handbooks (section 2, fire). Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Patio and bifold door grilles in St Andrews: questions
Which areas near St Andrews do you cover?
We can arrange work in St Andrews and in nearby Cupar (8 miles), Dundee (11 miles) and Leven (13 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Will a grille get in the way of my bifold doors?
No. We plan the stack so the bifold leaves and the grille fold to positions that do not clash.
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.
How long does fitting take?
A typical set of patio doors takes half a day once the grille is made.
