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

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.
Keep anything that must stay completely dry away from vent laths, as some moisture may get in during wet, windy weather.
Consider the height you want the laths at, for example level with a workbench or higher up to keep the view in limited.

Rules that apply in Highbury

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.

Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.

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

Can I get a price for Highbury 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.

Do you charge more for Highbury than other towns in Greater London?

No. Guide prices are the same for Highbury as for anywhere else we cover in Greater London. 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.

What do you check at a survey in N5?

At a survey in N5 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.

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

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

Will people be able to see into my garage through vision laths?

Possibly, especially at night when the garage light is on. If privacy matters, think about the height of the laths and what's stored nearby. Placing them higher in the curtain, or having fewer of them, can help. We'll talk through the position at survey so you can balance daylight against privacy for your garage.

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.
