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

Consider where the power supply would reach the motor if the box ends up under the lintel or on the outside wall.
Measure from the underside of the lintel to the ceiling or lowest obstruction inside, because that figure decides where the box can go.
Look for pipes, cables, lights or joists just above the opening, as moving one may free up room for the box behind the lintel.
Check the height of what you park, including roof bars or a roof box, before choosing to fit the box under the lintel.

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.

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.
