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

Think about privacy, because vision laths can let people glimpse what's inside when the garage light is on after dark.
Decide whether the garage needs daylight, airflow or both, since vision and vent laths do different jobs.
Keep anything that must stay completely dry away from vent laths, as some moisture may get in during wet, windy weather.
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 Redditch: questions

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

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.

Do you charge more for Redditch than other towns in Worcestershire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Redditch as for anywhere else we cover in Worcestershire. 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.

Is the survey in Redditch 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 message you a photo of my garage in Redditch?

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

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.

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.
