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

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.
Think about privacy, because vision laths can let people glimpse what's inside when the garage light is on after dark.

Rules that apply in Merthyr Tydfil

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in Wales 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 in Wales before it starts.

Roller garage doors with vision and vent laths in Merthyr Tydfil: questions

Do you cover Merthyr Tydfil?

Yes. Merthyr Tydfil is part of the area we cover in Mid Glamorgan, including CF47 and CF48. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

What do you check at a survey in CF47?

At a survey in CF47 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.

Do you charge more for Merthyr Tydfil than other towns in Mid Glamorgan?

No. Guide prices are the same for Merthyr Tydfil as for anywhere else we cover in Mid Glamorgan. 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 long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Merthyr Tydfil?

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.

Will people be able to see into my garage through vision laths?

Possibly, especially at night when the garage light is on. If privacy matters, think about the height of the laths and what's stored nearby. Placing them higher in the curtain, or having fewer of them, can help. We'll talk through the position at survey so you can balance daylight against privacy for your garage.

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.
