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

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.
Ask whether vision or vent laths are covered by the certificate if you're choosing a security-rated door model.
Plan vision or vent laths into your order from the start, because they're built into the curtain when the door is made.

Rules that apply in Grays

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

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Grays?

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

Do you charge more for Grays than other towns in Essex?

No. Guide prices are the same for Grays as for anywhere else we cover in Essex. 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 get a price for Grays 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.

Can you remove my old garage door in Grays?

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