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

Keep anything that must stay completely dry away from vent laths, as some moisture may get in during wet, windy weather.
Ask whether vision or vent laths are covered by the certificate if you're choosing a security-rated door model.
Decide whether the garage needs daylight, airflow or both, since vision and vent laths do different jobs.
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 Airdrie

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Part P does not apply in Scotland, but electrical work must meet BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards where it forms part of building work.

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.

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

What do you check at a survey in ML6?

At a survey in ML6 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 Airdrie?

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 Airdrie garage so you can compare.

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

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 you remove my old garage door in Airdrie?

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

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.
