These doors are actually commercial type doors that have been adapted for the residential market. They are normally framed in aluminum with a choice of powder coated colors. There is at least one manufacturer that will make this full view garage door using a wood frame.

The selection of glazing will further distinguish this garage door. The most popular that is used is ¼ inch white laminate tempered glass. You will generally have several choices of glass to choose from. Your choices may be clear, sandblasted, obscure, or different colors of laminate. The type of glass you choose is only restricted by your imagination. Black laminate with black powder coated aluminum framing is also a popular choice which can give your home a completely different look.
