Glass Garage Doors

Their clean lines and finesse make glass garage doors the optimal solution for a modern home. If steel doesn’t match your style and wood is too sensitive for the humidity at your location, glass doors prevail. Simply put, they are not just good looks but also one of the best choices when it comes to selecting garage doors resistant to the elements.

Does that come as a surprise? It’s true. Glass doors are usually made with aluminum frames – thus, are resilient to moisture. Glass panels can be insulated and so, they don’t compromise the energy efficiency of the home. And who will ever deny their unparalleled beauty? Who wouldn’t want them for their home, especially if the heavy looks of wood garage doors are hardly your style? We are here to tell you that glass garage doors come in such choices that the security of your home and the privacy of your family will never be an issue either. It all comes down to what you choose. And when it comes to glass garage doors, there are plenty of glass panel options.

Glass opacity

full view garage doorsThe opacity of the glass panels reveals how transparent or not the door is. It reveals the extent to which the garage door blocks the sunlight. And the news from the garage door industry is really great. Why? Because there are a lot of choices when it comes to choosing the color of the glass.

Clear glass panels are the ultimate solution for full view garage doors. Then, they start getting more obscure. Some of the choices? Gray or bronze tinted glass. Mirrored glass. With an obscure glass, you can still see through but not very clearly. If you want complete privacy, white laminate and milky glass options are the best.

Contemporary homes would also like opaque and translucent black glass garage doors. They can be mirrored or not. In both cases, are a perfect match for modern homes.

Glass safety

Glass garage doors are safe. Although they are all made of tempered glass, make sure you ask about it. You also need to know the thickness of the door and accordingly choose the right garage door springs and the opener – based on the weight. Why is it important that glass doors are made of tempered safety glass? Because when this type of glass breaks, it cannot hurt you. It doesn’t shatter in small pieces, but in big ones with no rough edges.

Glass aluminum garage doors

Most glass doors feature an aluminum frame. You can also get a wooden frame. But let’s face it. Aluminum is very resistant and won’t corrode. It’s also very strong and on top of everything else, it is provided in several hues.

The design of your glass garage door will alter based on how many windows you’d prefer. This number may vary and range from eight to twenty and even more. It depends on the garage door size too. It also depends if you want all windows at the same size.

How to choose your glass garage door

1.   Decide whether you want a full view glass door or not. This will help you decide on the color. And your decision is also subject to your privacy expectations and security concerns.

2.   Decide if you want the glass garage door insulated or not. Non-insulated glass doors have one pane. Energy efficient ones have two panes and are more expensive.

3.   Prefer aluminum frame to avoid corrosion and other problems if the wood is warped tomorrow.

4.   Don’t hesitate to go for a modern color – from full black to full white. After all, glass garage doors are elegant and sophisticated. They have clean lines and so, they won’t tire you overtime. You will simply love them.
