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

Decide whether the garage needs daylight, airflow or both, since vision and vent laths do different jobs.
Consider the height you want the laths at, for example level with a workbench or higher up to keep the view in limited.
Ask whether vision or vent laths are covered by the certificate if you're choosing a security-rated door model.
Check the agreed position of the laths in your written quote, and again on fitting day before the installer finishes.

Rules that apply in England

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission. Check first if your home is listed (listed building consent covers works that affect its character), sits 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 Tyne and Wear

Which towns do you cover in Tyne and Wear?

We cover Tyne and Wear, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, South Shields and Gateshead. Every town has its own page with local details, and you can start a guide price for any postcode in Tyne and Wear online.

Can I get a price without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type, or the visit price for a repair. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

How do I book a survey in Tyne and Wear?

Start with the guide price tool or the form on this page. We then contact you to arrange a free survey for a new door, replacement or conversion, and confirm the date in writing.

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.
