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

Measure from the underside of the lintel to the ceiling or lowest obstruction inside, because that figure decides where the box can go.
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.
Consider where the power supply would reach the motor if the box ends up under the lintel or on the outside wall.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Lerwick: questions

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

Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Lerwick. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

What do you check at a survey in ZE1?

At a survey in ZE1 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 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.

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.
