What should I know about roller garage doors with vision and vent laths in Ayr?

Keep anything that must stay completely dry away from vent laths, as some moisture may get in during wet, windy weather.
Check the agreed position of the laths in your written quote, and again on fitting day before the installer finishes.
Consider the height you want the laths at, for example level with a workbench or higher up to keep the view in limited.
Think about privacy, because vision laths can let people glimpse what's inside when the garage light is on after dark.

How does it work in Ayr?

When you're happy with the quote and accept it, we put the fitting date in writing, based on when an installer is available. The door, including its special laths, is only ordered after that acceptance.

Rules that apply in Ayr

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Part P does not apply in Scotland, but electrical work must meet BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards where it forms part of building work.

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland. Listed building consent applies to listed buildings, and conservation-area controls, planning conditions or title conditions can restrict changes to how a garage looks, so check before ordering.

Roller garage doors with vision and vent laths in Ayr: questions

Is the survey in Ayr 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.

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Ayr?

Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Ayr?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland, and widening the opening needs a building warrant. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

Can you remove my old garage door in Ayr?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Ayr address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.

Can I have vision laths on an electric roller door?

Yes. Vision and vent laths are part of the curtain, so they coil onto the barrel and run in the guides like the rest of the laths, whether the door is manual or electric. An electric door with vision laths is commissioned in the usual way, with the limits set and the safety edge or photocells tested.

Can vision laths be added to my existing roller door?

Vision and vent laths are built into the curtain when a new door is made, which is why we offer them as an extra on new doors. Changing laths in an existing curtain depends on finding compatible laths for that door, so if you want daylight or ventilation in your current garage, it's usually simplest to plan them into a replacement door.
