How To Choose Windows For Your Garage Door

Garage door windows not only serve a utilitarian purpose, but also increase a garage door's aesthetic value. They add natural light to your garage, elevate the look of your garage door, and give you privacy. When shopping for windows for your garage door, there are a lot of things to consider such as style, type of glass, size & shape, color, insulation, and more. However, choosing windows for your garage door can seem overwhelming given the wide range of options on the market.    

That’s why we’ve put together this handy guide to help you choose the right windows for your garage door.

• Glass Type

The type of glass you choose for your garage door windows not only affects your garage door’s curb appeal, but can also impact things like privacy and durability. Some of the types of glass you can choose for garage door windows include insulated glass, double strength, obscure, stain etched, and impact frosted glass.

Insulated glass is a good option if you’re looking to improve the energy efficiency of your garage door while double-strength glass is stronger and more stable, so it’s less likely to break. Obscure glass reduces the level of visibility without noticeable loss of natural light. If you’re looking for a privacy solution, you can opt for obscure glass.

Stain etched glass is altered on the surface using artwork or patterns for decorative purposes, while impact frosted glass has a strong polymer layer between two panes of glass and features a frosted appearance obtained by sandblasting or acid etching. Impact frosted glass is tougher and more durable than regular glass and can be used for decorative purposes.

• Privacy

If you're looking to increase the privacy of your garage, you can opt for frosted, seeded, and tinted window panes.

• Size and Shape

Garage door windows can be nearly any size you want and are available in countless shapes to choose from. These include:

• Squared
• Circular
• Rectangular
• Gothic
• Trapezoids and many more

A variety of window shapes can be arranged into many configurations to achieve any look that you desire. Moreover, you can achieve more decorative styles using inserts made of metal, wood, or plastic.

• Style of Your Garage Door

The windows you choose for your garage door should match the current style of your garage door. If your garage door features sleek and modern features, consider adding a contemporary vibe to your garage door with geometric window panes. For a historic-style garage door, you’ll want to install garage door window styles that will elevate its historic charm.
