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

Decide whether the garage needs daylight, airflow or both, since vision and vent laths do different jobs.
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.
Weigh up insulation if you're choosing insulated laths, as vent laths let air through and vision laths hold less heat.

How does it work in Ballymena?

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.

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

Do you charge more for Ballymena than other towns in County Antrim?

No. Guide prices are the same for Ballymena as for anywhere else we cover in County Antrim. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

Is the survey in Ballymena 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.

What do you check at a survey in BT42?

At a survey in BT42 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.

How much do roller garage doors with vision and vent laths cost in Ballymena?

Our guide price for roller garage doors with vision and vent laths is from £1,040 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 Ballymena as elsewhere we cover.

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.

Do vent laths let rain or insects into the garage?

Vent laths have openings by design, so some air movement comes with them, and in very wet, windy weather a little moisture may get in. If you store things that must stay completely dry, keep them away from the door. Think about where the vent laths sit in the curtain, and discuss it at the survey before you decide.
