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

Weigh up insulation if you're choosing insulated laths, as vent laths let air through and vision laths hold less heat.
Keep anything that must stay completely dry away from vent laths, as some moisture may get in during wet, windy weather.
Check the agreed position of the laths in your written quote, and again on fitting day before the installer finishes.
Plan vision or vent laths into your order from the start, because they're built into the curtain when the door is made.

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

Can I get a price for Lerwick 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.

What do you check at a survey in ZE1?

At a survey in ZE1 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.

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Lerwick?

That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Lerwick garage so you can compare.

Can you remove my old garage door in Lerwick?

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

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.

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.
