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

Ask whether vision or vent laths are covered by the certificate if you're choosing a security-rated door model.
Decide whether the garage needs daylight, airflow or both, since vision and vent laths do different jobs.
Consider the height you want the laths at, for example level with a workbench or higher up to keep the view in limited.
Weigh up insulation if you're choosing insulated laths, as vent laths let air through and vision laths hold less heat.

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

Is the survey in Newtownards 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.

Do you charge more for Newtownards than other towns in County Down?

No. Guide prices are the same for Newtownards as for anywhere else we cover in County Down. 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.

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

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.

Can you remove my old garage door in Newtownards?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Newtownards 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.

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.

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.
