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

Think about privacy, because vision laths can let people glimpse what's inside when the garage light is on after dark.
Check the agreed position of the laths in your written quote, and again on fitting day before the installer finishes.
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.

Rules that apply in Hamilton

Structural work

Structural alterations, such as widening the opening or fitting a new lintel, need a building warrant from the local authority before work starts.

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.

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

What do you check at a survey in ML3?

At a survey in ML3 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 the survey in Hamilton 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.

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Hamilton?

Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.

Do you charge more for Hamilton than other towns in Lanarkshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Hamilton as for anywhere else we cover in Lanarkshire. 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.

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.

Can vision laths be added to my existing roller door?

Vision and vent laths are built into the curtain when a new door is made, which is why we offer them as an extra on new doors. Changing laths in an existing curtain depends on finding compatible laths for that door, so if you want daylight or ventilation in your current garage, it's usually simplest to plan them into a replacement door.
