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

Ask to see the clear opening height you would keep with each box position before you settle on one.
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.
Remember that taller doors and larger laths both need bigger boxes, which affects what will fit in a tight space.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Dunoon: questions

Do you cover Dunoon?

Yes. Dunoon is part of the area we cover in Dunbartonshire and Argyll, including PA23. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Is the survey in Dunoon really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

Can I get a price for Dunoon 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.

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

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 Dunoon garage so you can compare.

Does a face-fitted roller box look out of place?

It's a matter of taste. A face-fitted box sits on the front of the wall above the opening, so it's visible, but it can be finished to match the curtain, and it avoids losing height under the lintel. If you live on a newer estate or in a conservation area, check any covenants or planning restrictions first.

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.
