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

Weigh up insulation if you're choosing insulated laths, as vent laths let air through and vision laths hold less heat.
Consider the height you want the laths at, for example level with a workbench or higher up to keep the view in limited.
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.

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 Poole: questions

What do you check at a survey in BH15?

At a survey in BH15 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.

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Poole?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

Do you charge more for Poole than other towns in Dorset?

No. Guide prices are the same for Poole as for anywhere else we cover in Dorset. 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 message you a photo of my garage in Poole?

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

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.
