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

Check the agreed position of the laths in your written quote, and again on fitting day before the installer finishes.
Consider the height you want the laths at, for example level with a workbench or higher up to keep the view in limited.
Weigh up insulation if you're choosing insulated laths, as vent laths let air through and vision laths hold less heat.
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 England

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission. Check first if your home is listed (listed building consent covers works that affect its character), sits in a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, or is on an estate where planning conditions or covenants control garage doors.

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 Kent

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Kent?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

Which towns do you cover in Kent?

We cover Kent, including Maidstone, Gillingham, Chatham and Tunbridge Wells. Every town has its own page with local details, and you can start a guide price for any postcode in Kent online.

Are guide prices the same across Kent?

Yes. The guide prices are the same in every town in Kent. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode.

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.

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.
