Several Benefits of Glass Garage Doors

Good looks aren’t the only benefit of owning glass garage doors.  Listed below are more that might pique your interest in owning one.

Natural Light: Windows in a garage door allow natural light to enter the garage space, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. This can create a more inviting and functional environment for tasks such as woodworking, car maintenance, or simply finding items stored in the garage.

Enhanced Aesthetics: Garage doors with windows can enhance the curb appeal of a home by adding visual interest and architectural detail. The design options for windows in garage doors are diverse, allowing homeowners to choose styles that complement the overall look of their home.

Improved Ventilation: Depending upon the type of window in a garage door can help improve ventilation by allowing fresh air to circulate into the garage space. This can help reduce humidity and stale air, which can be beneficial for storing items that are sensitive to moisture or odors.

Increased Security: While it may seem counterintuitive, windows in a garage door can enhance security by allowing homeowners to see outside without having to open the door. This can help them monitor their property and identify potential threats before opening the garage door.

Energy Efficiency: Depending on the type of windows and their placement, they can contribute to energy efficiency by allowing sunlight to naturally heat the garage space during colder months. This can help reduce heating costs and make the garage more comfortable to work in.

Connection to the Outdoors: Garage doors with windows can create a sense of connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces, blurring the boundaries between the garage and the surrounding landscape. This can be especially desirable in homes with scenic views or attractive outdoor areas.

Overall, garage doors with windows offer a combination of practical and aesthetic benefits that can enhance the functionality, appearance, and comfort of your home.

For example:

This home included glass & aluminum garage doors by Martin, Athena model with tinted glass. Their realtor proved the value of replacing garage doors to the increase in the appraised value and curb appeal of the home. By replacing the old, dilapidated garage doors with Martin Athena doors, the difference in the selling price was much more than the investment made in new doors.

Year after year, the National Remodeling Magazine scores the payback value of all types of remodeling investments and garage door replacement continues to score as the highest payback in home remodeling projects. See National Remodeling Magazine for more details.

The best advice for garage doors with windows is that when you hear or see an issue with your garage door, call Martin for help!  Glass garage doors need attention faster than non-window garage doors.
