What should I know about insulated roller garage doors in Seaham?

Wider openings usually suit 77 mm laths for rigidity, so expect the lath size to be confirmed once the width has been measured at survey.
Think about how the garage will be used in future, since choosing insulated laths now avoids replacing the door if it becomes a hobby or utility space.
Measure the headroom above the opening carefully, because insulated laths make a bigger roll than single-skin and need a deeper box.
Check whether the floor dips or rises across the opening, because an uneven floor can leave a gap under the bottom rail that lets draughts in.

Insulated roller garage doors in Seaham: questions

Do you charge more for Seaham than other towns in County Durham?

No. Guide prices are the same for Seaham as for anywhere else we cover in County Durham. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

What do you check at a survey in SR7?

At a survey in SR7 we measure the width and height of the opening, the headroom above it for the roller box, the side room for the guide rails and the floor level. We also look at the lintel and where power can come from for an electric door.

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Seaham?

That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Seaham garage so you can compare.

Can I get a price for Seaham without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

Will an insulated door fit the same opening as my old single-skin door?

Usually, yes, but insulated laths are thicker, so the curtain makes a bigger roll in the box. If your old door had a small box, the new one may need more headroom, a box fitted under the lintel, or a face-fitted box. We check this at survey and explain the trade-offs before you choose.

Is an insulated door more secure than a single-skin one?

Not automatically. Insulation and burglary resistance are separate qualities. How well a door resists attack depends on how that specific manufacturer's model has been tested, for example to LPS 1175 or STS 202. If security is a priority, look at our security-rated doors, which are also insulated, and we'll show you the certificate for the exact model.
