This article will cover glass garage doors.

Glass garage doors are also sometimes known as “Full View” Garage Doors. Theses doors will use steel, or more commonly aluminum frames with full length glass. The appearance is very modern and similar to some commercial buildings. We’ve even seen these doors used in patios, foyers, sun rooms, and great rooms to either extend the living space or open a home to fresh air and the fragrances of the great outdoors.

The glass can be clear, tinted, opaqued, or otherwise decorated to match the style of the home and privacy needs of the home owner. Additionally, multi-color and style frames can be use to provide additional style options.

This article will cover the steel garage doors designed to look like Carriage House doors.

Carriage House style garage doors are near the upper end of the product line of garage doors. As such, the steel used for Carriage House doors is at least 24 gauge. Another major difference between Carriage House doors and other styles, is the use of just 3 sections or panels. Most steel garage doors will use 4 sections for a 7’ tall door and 5 sections for an 8’ tall door. Because the stamp patterns are unique and complex, Carriage House garage doors are made with just 3 sections.

Multicolor paint is often used to help highlight the Carriage House style and appearance. Windows or “lights” are a frequent design element in Carriage House doors, as are decorative straps hinges and handles.
