Pros and Cons of Glass Garage Doors

The first garage doorsever used by the people of Georgia in the beginning of the 20th century were made of wood and consisted of two big panels that had to be opened and closed manually. These types of doors don’t exist anymore. They have come a long way and today most homes have automatic garage door openers while consumers have the opportunity to choose among fantastic garage doors, which can be found in many colors, types and designs. During the last years, the demand for glass garage doors has been increased since they are unique and fabulous.

Pros

•     Most people choose glass doors for their beauty and design. They know that they will make a difference in their lovely neighborhood in Smyrna and increase the value of their home.
•     People, especially those who use their garages as an activity room or an office, love the natural light that enters their space.
•     You have the option of getting double layered glasses or tinted ones. In any case, garage door companies will make sure that you can enjoy the transparency of the glass garage doors, but no one will be able to see you from outside. Hence, you can be sure for your safety and privacy.

Cons

•     The biggest disadvantage is the glass garage door prices since they exceed significantly the cost of aluminum or steel doors.
•     In terms of energy efficiency they are not as good as other materials. Though, you can find an insulated glass garage door in the market these days, but it will be more expensive.
•     Small damages will show more on a glass panel and that means that garage door service will cost more, plus they will need frequent cleaning.
