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

Plan vision or vent laths into your order from the start, because they're built into the curtain when the door is made.
Consider the height you want the laths at, for example level with a workbench or higher up to keep the view in limited.
Weigh up insulation if you're choosing insulated laths, as vent laths let air through and vision laths hold less heat.
Decide whether the garage needs daylight, airflow or both, since vision and vent laths do different jobs.

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

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

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

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

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 Kettering as elsewhere we cover.

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Kettering?

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 Kettering garage so you can compare.

Is the survey in Kettering 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 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.

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.
