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

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.
Ask whether vision or vent laths are covered by the certificate if you're choosing a security-rated door model.
Check the agreed position of the laths in your written quote, and again on fitting day before the installer finishes.

How does it work in Belfast?

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 Belfast: questions

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Belfast?

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 Belfast. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Belfast 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 an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Belfast?

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 Belfast garage so you can compare.

What do you check at a survey in BT1?

At a survey in BT1 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 do I clean vision laths?

Clean them gently, following the manufacturer's care guidance that comes with the door, and avoid abrasive cleaners or scourers that could scratch the see-through sections. Do it with the door closed and, on an electric door, make sure no one operates it while you're cleaning. Keep the guide rails clear of debris at the same time.

Will people be able to see into my garage through vision laths?

Possibly, especially at night when the garage light is on. If privacy matters, think about the height of the laths and what's stored nearby. Placing them higher in the curtain, or having fewer of them, can help. We'll talk through the position at survey so you can balance daylight against privacy for your garage.
