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

Plan vision or vent laths into your order from the start, because they're built into the curtain when the door is made.
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.
Check the agreed position of the laths in your written quote, and again on fitting day before the installer finishes.

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

Do you cover Edinburgh?

Yes. Edinburgh is part of the area we cover in Edinburgh and the Lothians, including EH2, EH3 and EH1. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Is the survey in Edinburgh 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 I need permission for a new roller garage door in Edinburgh?

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

Can you remove my old garage door in Edinburgh?

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

Can vision laths be added to my existing roller door?

Vision and vent laths are built into the curtain when a new door is made, which is why we offer them as an extra on new doors. Changing laths in an existing curtain depends on finding compatible laths for that door, so if you want daylight or ventilation in your current garage, it's usually simplest to plan them into a replacement door.

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.
