Privacy glass
Light in, view out. You choose what the street sees.
The whole opening lets light in, closed or open. What the driveway sees depends on the interlayer between the two lites. Pick one to see it on a real ACG door.
From the driveway
Framed door, black frame
Clear interlayer
Clear interlayer: the full view, day and night.
From the driveway
Framed door in black
White interlayer
White or diamond white: light without the view. From the driveway the glass reads as soft grey, and the garage still gets daylight across the whole opening.
From the driveway
Frameless door
Black interlayer
Black interlayer: dark and reflective from the street.
Inside the garage
A garage you actually want to spend time in
A solid door turns the garage into a box with a light bulb. A glass door fills it with daylight.
Home gyms
Workshops
Studios
Car rooms
Two models
Framed or frameless. Same impact glass, two different looks.
Both are sectional overhead doors that roll up on a standard track. The difference is how much aluminum you see when the door is closed.
What you choose
Five decisions, and what each one changes
These are the real options on both models. We bring samples to the estimate.
Framed aluminum
Rails and stiles around every lite, so the door reads as a grid of glass. The classic full view look.
Frameless
Slim horizontal rails and no vertical stiles, so each section is one long run of glass. The most minimal door we sell.
Model spec
Laminated impact glass
Two heat strengthened lites on a PVB interlayer, in both models.
Framed
5/16" laminated
two 1/8″ heat strengthened lites on a 0.090″ PVB interlayer
Frameless
7/16" laminated
two 3/16″ heat strengthened lites on a 0.090″ PVB interlayer
Heavier glass for a longer clear span

Opener, on both models: tell us if you want the door automated or have an opener to keep, and we quote it with the door.
Impact and code
A garage door is part of the building envelope
In a storm the garage door is usually the biggest opening on the house. If it fails, wind gets inside and pushes on the roof from below. That is why it is a permitted, impact rated product like any window or entry door.
The glass, in section
Heat strengthened lite
PVB interlayer
5/16" laminated
Framed aluminum
7/16" laminated
Frameless
Laminated, so a broken lite stays in the frame.
Both build-ups drawn at the same scale.
01
A pressure rating for your size
Every door size carries its own design pressure. We check it against the pressure calculated for your wall before we quote.
02
An approval that covers the opening
Florida Product Approval in Martin and Palm Beach, a Miami-Dade approval in the HVHZ. It has to cover your size and your pressure.
