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

Check the agreed position of the laths in your written quote, and again on fitting day before the installer finishes.
Ask whether vision or vent laths are covered by the certificate if you're choosing a security-rated door model.
Keep anything that must stay completely dry away from vent laths, as some moisture may get in during wet, windy weather.
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 Wales

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Wales. Check first if your home is listed (listed building consent covers works that affect its character), is in a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, or is on an estate where planning conditions or covenants control garage doors.

Powered door safety

Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.

Questions about roller garage doors with vision and vent laths in South Glamorgan

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in South Glamorgan?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Wales, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

Which towns do you cover in South Glamorgan?

We cover South Glamorgan, including Cardiff, Barry and Penarth. Every town has its own page with local details, and you can start a guide price for any postcode in South Glamorgan online.

Are guide prices the same across South Glamorgan?

Yes. The guide prices are the same in every town in South Glamorgan. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode.

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.
