QUICK ANSWER
Full-glass doors bring in light and give a home a modern look. Plan for privacy and winter warmth, and have the springs and opener sized for the extra weight.
Full-view doors use aluminum frames and glass panels for a clean, modern front. They bring daylight into the garage and stand out on the street.
What to know before you choose glass
Take a look at the Clopay Avante. Because glass adds weight, the springs and opener have to be matched to it.
