There are many types or styles of garage door windows to suit your style or desire. The styles will vary
from one manufacturer to another, but there are many to choose from.
Some companies will have one basic design for the actual window, but will have inserts to change the
appearance. Other companies have different design windows rather than inserts for the standard
window.
There are also choices for the glass in the window. You can choose tempered glass, clear glass, frosted
glass, distorted glass and tinted glass just to list a few different options. You can also choose to have
insulated glass or single panel glass as options.
If you are designing a custom garage door, you can choose windows for your garage door to match other
aspects of your architectural design. You can get garage door windows with a leaded crystal look with
caming to match other windows or doors. The options are wide when it comes to garage door windows.
Budget requirements may be the biggest factor in window style and selection. Garage door windows are
usually an upgrade option. Standard windows are relatively inexpensive upgrades, but custom garage
door windows will come with a higher price.
Check with garage door manufacturers to determine what types of windows are available. All window
styles may not be available for all garage door models the company manufactures.
After market windows are also available and can be installed into existing garage door panels in some
cases. You will need to check the window specifications to determine if they will work for your garage
door. Many styles and designs are available dependent on the manufacturer of the aftermarket
windows. After market windows require cutting openings in the garage door panels. Careful
measurements must be taken to ensure the window will fit once the opening has been cut.
