What should I know about low-headroom roller garage doors in Barnstaple?

Consider where the power supply would reach the motor if the box ends up under the lintel or on the outside wall.
Think about how a visible face-fitted box would look on the front of your home before choosing that position.
Check the height of what you park, including roof bars or a roof box, before choosing to fit the box under the lintel.
If your home is on a newer estate, read your deeds for any covenant that covers changes to the front of the garage.

How much do low-headroom roller garage doors cost in Barnstaple?

Our guide price for low-headroom roller garage doors is from £1,195 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Barnstaple as elsewhere we cover.

Can a smaller lath reduce the box size?

Lath size is one of the things that decides box size, because larger laths make a bigger roll. On narrower doors a smaller lath can help where headroom is tight. On wider doors, though, larger laths add the rigidity the curtain needs, so there's a balance to strike. We recommend the lath at survey based on your width, height and headroom.

Is an insulated door possible with low headroom?

Often, yes. Insulated laths make a larger roll than single-skin laths of the same height, so the box is bigger. If that box won't fit behind the lintel, it can go under the lintel or in front of the wall. We'll show you the clear height you'd keep with each option, so you can decide whether insulation is worth the trade-off.
