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

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.
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.

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

Can I get a price for Birmingham without anyone visiting?

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

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

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 Birmingham as elsewhere we cover.

Do you charge more for Birmingham than other towns in the West Midlands?

No. Guide prices are the same for Birmingham as for anywhere else we cover in the West Midlands. 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.

Do you cover Birmingham?

Yes. Birmingham is part of the area we cover in the West Midlands, including B3, B2 and B4. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
