Points to plan for in Pontypridd
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Leased premises
If your Pontypridd premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Pontypridd are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
