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

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

Rules that apply in Exmouth

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in England some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission. Check first if your home is listed (listed building consent covers works that affect its character), sits in a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, or is on an estate where planning conditions or covenants control garage doors.

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

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

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.

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Exmouth?

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 Exmouth garage so you can compare.

Can you remove my old garage door in Exmouth?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Exmouth 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 you charge more for Exmouth than other towns in Devon?

No. Guide prices are the same for Exmouth as for anywhere else we cover in Devon. 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.

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.
