When you’re selecting a new garage door, especially if this is your first time doing so, you may not initially consider glass as a material option. Most of us don’t immediately think of glass when we consider garage door materials, but did you know they’re actually on the rise in popularity around the country?

At Crawford Door Sales, we have a wide variety of glass garage doors available for you to choose from. There are so many reasons for the growing popularity of this material that we can’t fit them all in one post – this two-part blog series will go over all the numerous benefits of glass garage doors. 

Natural Light

Unlike most other garage door materials, which are solid and won’t allow light in besides small windows, glass garage doors allow in tons of natural light. This is great for homeowners who don’t want the traditional darker, cooler garage space, but it also has other benefits. 

For one, research has shown that natural sunlight boosts health, happiness and even productivity. Particularly for those who spend a lot of time in the garage, such as those with a home office in this area, this can be a big deal. If you’re a business owner considering a glass garage door, this could have a big impact on employee morale and productivity. 

Brightness and Space

Another impact of natural light? The way it makes space feel. As any home designer will tell you, brighter areas simply feel larger and more spacious than darker ones, and are regularly more useful. Well-lighted garages are often used for a greater variety of purposes than other types for this reason. 

In addition, if your home or business has a view, why restrict it? Glass garage doors allow you to maximize your outdoor beauty without sacrificing an ounce or protection or insulation. 

Lower Bills

Not only can glass doors help maximize your space, they can save you money. This is especially true during the winter, where your garage will stay warmer due to natural light along with fully insulated panels and a vinyl bottom weather seal. You also won’t have to use electricity to light up the garage nearly as often, as natural light will be available. 

Home Value

If you’ve even considered putting your home on the market anytime in the near future, a glass garage door is an excellent asset. It has a positive impact on home curb appeal, and its current trendiness can improve your return by far more than what you actually spent on the door. Reports have found that garage doors are one of the single best investments for increasing a home’s resale value, and glass doors are at the top of the list right now.
