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

Consider the height you want the laths at, for example level with a workbench or higher up to keep the view in limited.
Plan vision or vent laths into your order from the start, because they're built into the curtain when the door is made.
Check the agreed position of the laths in your written quote, and again on fitting day before the installer finishes.
Keep anything that must stay completely dry away from vent laths, as some moisture may get in during wet, windy weather.

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.

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.

Roller garage doors with vision and vent laths in Newcastle upon Tyne: questions

Do you charge more for Newcastle upon Tyne than other towns in Tyne and Wear?

No. Guide prices are the same for Newcastle upon Tyne as for anywhere else we cover in Tyne and Wear. 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 Newcastle upon Tyne?

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.

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Newcastle upon Tyne?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, 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.

Is the survey in Newcastle upon Tyne 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.

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.

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.
