What should I know about roller garage doors with vision and vent laths in Chester-le-Street?
- Keep anything that must stay completely dry away from vent laths, as some moisture may get in during wet, windy weather.
- Think about privacy, because vision laths can let people glimpse what's inside when the garage light is on after dark.
- Decide whether the garage needs daylight, airflow or both, since vision and vent laths do different jobs.
- 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 Chester-le-Street: questions
Can you remove my old garage door in Chester-le-Street?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Chester-le-Street 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.
Is the survey in Chester-le-Street 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.
Can I get a price for Chester-le-Street without anyone visiting?
Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.
What do you check at a survey in DH2?
At a survey in DH2 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.
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.
