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

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.
Consider the height you want the laths at, for example level with a workbench or higher up to keep the view in limited.
Decide whether the garage needs daylight, airflow or both, since vision and vent laths do different jobs.

Rules that apply in Wigston

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.

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.

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

Is the survey in Wigston 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.

Do you cover Wigston?

Yes. Wigston is part of the area we cover in Leicestershire, including LE18, LE8 and LE2. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

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 Wigston as elsewhere we cover.

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

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.

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.

Do vent laths let rain or insects into the garage?

Vent laths have openings by design, so some air movement comes with them, and in very wet, windy weather a little moisture may get in. If you store things that must stay completely dry, keep them away from the door. Think about where the vent laths sit in the curtain, and discuss it at the survey before you decide.
