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

Keep anything that must stay completely dry away from vent laths, as some moisture may get in during wet, windy weather.
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.
Decide whether the garage needs daylight, airflow or both, since vision and vent laths do different jobs.

Rules that apply in Dover

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in England some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.

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.

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

How much do roller garage doors with vision and vent laths cost in Dover?

Our guide price for roller garage doors with vision and vent laths is from £1,040 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Dover as elsewhere we cover.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Dover?

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

Can I get a price for Dover 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.

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Dover 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.

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.
