In part one of this two-part blog, we went over some of the benefits of glass garage doors. These excellent products, while perhaps not the first materials you think of when considering a new garage door, are on the rise in popularity around the country.

At Crawford Door Sales, our glass garage door options are second to none. There are so many distinct benefits to installing them in your home or business that we’re going to take a second blog to go over them all – here are a few more positives to consider. 

Customizable

You may not think it initially, but glass garage doors come with a number of great customization options. These include areas like color, powder coating, style and even frame considerations. Our glass doors come in seven different painted finishes, along with several different anodized colors and custom matching capabilities. You’re not dealing with a cookie-cutter option here – glass garage doors offer you the ability to design something unique that speaks to your exact needs and desires. 

Limited Maintenance

Glass garage doors generally use aluminum frames to hold their primary panels together, and this is highly advantageous for you as a buyer because there is no additional coating required on these materials. This is in contrast to most wood garage doors, which do typically require these coatings, and will otherwise be prone to rust, corrosion and other wear-and-tear issues. 

Because glass doors come with none of these issues, their maintenance concerns are very low. The only thing you have to worry about is maintaining the glass panels themselves, which is easily done with Windex or another common glass cleaner that helps get rid of stains or smudges. 

Protection

It’s easy to gloss over the primary purpose of garage doors these days: To protect the home or business from various potential negatives. These include:

  • Weather: Whether we’re talking about wind, snow, ice or some combination of these, some might worry about the protective qualities of glass within the elements. These concerns aren’t needed, however – we only sell glass garage doors that have been properly tested and wind-rated. 

  • Home security: Glass garage door panels are made of tempered glass, which is four times stronger than normal glass. In addition, you can easily install security film on the backs of your panels to further deter burglars. This combination means it’s very hard to break into a garage made of glass. 

Durability

Glass garage doors are highly durable, mainly due to their aluminum frame. They come with a reinforcing film that makes them sturdy as well, and their frames help them resist dents or other accidents. Aluminum does not rust or wear down in extreme temperatures whatsoever, so you know you have a long-lasting material.
