What should I know about roller garage doors with vision and vent laths in the Highlands, Moray and Islands?

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.
Check the agreed position of the laths in your written quote, and again on fitting day before the installer finishes.
Weigh up insulation if you're choosing insulated laths, as vent laths let air through and vision laths hold less heat.

Rules that apply in Scotland

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland. Listed building consent applies to listed buildings, and conservation-area controls, planning conditions or title conditions can restrict changes to how a garage looks, so check before ordering.

Powered door safety

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.

Questions about roller garage doors with vision and vent laths in the Highlands, Moray and Islands

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in the Highlands, Moray and Islands?

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 I get a price without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type, or the visit price for a repair. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

Which towns do you cover in the Highlands, Moray and Islands?

We cover the Highlands, Moray and Islands, including Inverness, Elgin, Fort William and Nairn. Every town has its own page with local details, and you can start a guide price for any postcode in the Highlands, Moray and Islands online.

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 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.
