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

Consider the height you want the laths at, for example level with a workbench or higher up to keep the view in limited.
Check the agreed position of the laths in your written quote, and again on fitting day before the installer finishes.
Plan vision or vent laths into your order from the start, because they're built into the curtain when the door is made.
Keep anything that must stay completely dry away from vent laths, as some moisture may get in during wet, windy weather.

Structural work

Widening the opening, removing a central pier or fitting a new lintel is structural work that needs Building Regulations approval from building control before it starts.

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.

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

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

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

Can you remove my old garage door in Lancaster?

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

Do you charge more for Lancaster than other towns in Lancashire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Lancaster as for anywhere else we cover in Lancashire. 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.

Do you cover Lancaster?

Yes. Lancaster is part of the area we cover in Lancashire, including LA1 and LA4. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
