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

Consider the height you want the laths at, for example level with a workbench or higher up to keep the view in limited.
Ask whether vision or vent laths are covered by the certificate if you're choosing a security-rated door model.
Think about privacy, because vision laths can let people glimpse what's inside when the garage light is on after dark.
Weigh up insulation if you're choosing insulated laths, as vent laths let air through and vision laths hold less heat.

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

Is the survey in Canterbury 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.

What do you check at a survey in CT1?

At a survey in CT1 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.

Do you cover Canterbury?

Yes. Canterbury is part of the area we cover in Kent, including CT1 and CT2. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Do you charge more for Canterbury than other towns in Kent?

No. Guide prices are the same for Canterbury as for anywhere else we cover in Kent. 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.

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.

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.
