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

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.
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.

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

Can you remove my old garage door in Orpington?

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

What do you check at a survey in BR6?

At a survey in BR6 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 Orpington?

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

Is the survey in Orpington 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 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.

How do I clean vision laths?

Clean them gently, following the manufacturer's care guidance that comes with the door, and avoid abrasive cleaners or scourers that could scratch the see-through sections. Do it with the door closed and, on an electric door, make sure no one operates it while you're cleaning. Keep the guide rails clear of debris at the same time.
