Garage door windows sit in a frame set into a section, often the top one. Decorative inserts are trim pieces that lay over the glass to give a pattern, such as a carriage-house or arched look. Both are made for a specific door design, which is the single most important thing to know before ordering.
Obscure, frosted and tinted glass let light in while hiding what's in the garage. Insulated glass helps if the garage is heated.
One cracked pane is usually a repair. Garaga, for one, sells replacement windows for a missing or broken window. (source: Garaga) We identify the door's maker and model, then order the matching frame, glass and insert. If the door model is discontinued and the window size no longer exists, the options are a new section with windows or a solid replacement section; see panel replacement.
It can be done on some doors, but the window kit must match the door's construction and section design. Cutting into an insulated or wind-reinforced section the wrong way can weaken it. We check the model first.
On wind-rated doors the reinforcing struts sit where testing put them. Amarr explains that struts on its Wind Load doors are in predetermined positions, and if a strut has to cross the windows, the door can be ordered with Frost, Obscure or Dark Tint glass to hide it; painting the inside of the strut black also makes it less noticeable, even through clear glass. (source: Amarr) Moving a strut to clear a window is not an option. More on this in struts.
We can source and install doors from major manufacturers such as Clopay, Garaga, Wayne Dalton and Amarr, and we replace windows and inserts on doors already in place. Not an authorized dealer for any brand. Licensed and insured, and we service and install all brands. Proof of insurance, license and 1099 available on request.
Call (781) 602-0737 with a photo of the window from inside and the door's label if you can find it. For design ideas, see our post on windows in a garage door.
