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
- Optional extra locking points for wide spans
- Stacks positioned to clear handles and curtains
- Matched to aluminium, uPVC or timber frames
- Low-profile or recessed floor tracks
- Locks operable from inside
- White, black, anthracite or RAL

What to think about first
Colour
Anthracite grilles sit quietly against grey aluminium frames.
Where it parks
Bifold doors stack their own leaves to one side; the grille stack should not fight them.
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.

Patio and bifold door grilles in Chichester: questions
Do you cover Bognor Regis as well as Chichester?
Yes. As well as Chichester, we can arrange surveys in nearby Bognor Regis, Havant and Littlehampton, and elsewhere in West Sussex.
Can I walk over the grille track?
Yes. Low-profile tracks are a few millimetres high, and recessed tracks sit flush with the floor.
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 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.
