The 411 on Aluminum-Framed Glass-Paneled Garage Doors

Aluminum-framed glass-paneled garage doors either add to or transform a house with that ever popular modern look which is becoming more and more prevalent in today’s residences. The contemporary look and sleek design of aluminum-framed glass-paneled garage doors just don’t add to a house’s ambiance, they are corrosion resistant and let in radiant light if needed, or colored light from a multitude of tinted pane color choices, or plenty of other non-see-through glass pane variations of modern manufactured glass to choose from. Standard aluminum-framed glass-paneled garage door sizes range up to 18 feet, making them a stunning visual accompaniment to large multi-spot garages. Aluminum-framed glass-paneled garage doors retract overhead like standard solid paned garage doors with the lightweight advantage of aluminum. This lightweight aspect of aluminum-framed glass-paneled garage doors also helps to cut down wear and tear on automatic openers and other working garage door mechanisms, saving money on future expensive repairs.

Insulated rails and stiles are available options that can add R-value (insulating power) using polyurethane insulation. Joint seals between glass panel sections can be added for extra protection from the weather and also help to fend off excessive winds. Aluminum frames can be painted or powder coated to successfully match any house’s color scheme.

Glass Pane Tints

  • Clear standard glass panes let in full light and visibility to a garage.
  • Bronze tinted glass panes have a coppery shaded, but totally see-through tint that helps to dissipate glare.
  • Gray tinted glass panes balance just the right amount of light to provide a warm aesthetic.
  • Satin glass panes have a mother of pearl acid etched luster with a fogged transparency.
  • Obscured glass panels provide privacy from peering eyes while still allowing for some light to pass through.
  • White laminated glass panes are thick, strong, durable, and normally not see-through.
  • Green tinted glass is infused with iron oxide to produce a soft green tint.
