A glass garage door installation might intimidate some home or business owners because some myths have developed about glass panels replacing standard steel ones. Given our 45+ tenure in the garage door industry, we’re debunking some opposition towards owning a glass garage door. That’s right, we’re raining positivity, flipping some critiques, and seeing the bright side like what the inside of your garage will look like after a glass garage door replacement.
Myth: Glass Garage Doors Are Exorbitant and Expensive
Any garage door installation is an investment, but the ROI (return on investment) is the highest out of any home renovation. The cost of a full-view garage door can vary depending on your specific needs or budget.
Aluminum is typically paired with glass garage doors for reinforcement and comes available in a variety of frame and panel combinations at no exorbitant cost. You can also select the glass transparency of your panels, so it can give you the best of both worlds of aesthetic appeal and sturdiness.

Opt for the affordable option of requesting a steel garage door with long panel windows in every section, which can resemble a glass and aluminum panel garage door.
Myth: Glass Garage Doors Are Obviously Breakable
It’s time to debunk the “glass is fragile” perception! Glass can be manufactured to be just as durable as traditional steel garage doors. If privacy and security are a concern when you think of glass, there are a plethora of customization options to choose from when it comes to glass types, tinting, shading, thickness, and so much more.
If you request the right glass type for your needs and service the door annually, a glass garage door is just as safe and secure as any other overhead door.
