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

Check the agreed position of the laths in your written quote, and again on fitting day before the installer finishes.
Weigh up insulation if you're choosing insulated laths, as vent laths let air through and vision laths hold less heat.
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 Farnham

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.

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.

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

What do you check at a survey in GU9?

At a survey in GU9 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.

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

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

Is the survey in Farnham 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 long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Farnham?

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 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.

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.
