What Materials Are Used in Glass Garage Doors?

Glass garage doors, also known as aluminum sectional glass garage doors, are favored for their modern appearance and versatile material combinations. Their frame is made of high-quality aluminum extrusion profiles for sturdiness and durability, while the inlaid materials mainly include glass and four other optional types, each with unique characteristics to meet different usage needs.

Glass accounts for 99% of the inlaid parts, which is why it is commonly called a glass garage door. It not only enhances the overall transparency and aesthetic appeal of the door but also allows natural light to enter the garage, creating a bright and spacious space. The glass used is usually high-strength and impact-resistant, ensuring safety and long service life.

The remaining 1% of the inlaid materials can be customized according to actual requirements, including the following four types:

Polycarbonate (PC) panels: Thickness, transparency and color are all optional. The conventional specifications are 3mm or 4mm, with clear or frosted finishes. They are lightweight, impact-resistant and have good light transmission, suitable for areas that require both protection and light.

Acrylic panels: Similar to PC panels, their thickness, transparency and color can be customized. The standard thickness is 3mm or 4mm, available in clear or frosted styles. They have excellent optical properties, high surface gloss and are easy to process and maintain.

Steel panels: The conventional thickness is 0.7-1.2mm, with spray coating on both front and back sides. The spray coating enhances corrosion resistance and wear resistance, making the panels durable and easy to clean, suitable for environments that require higher protection performance.

Aluminum panels: The standard thickness options are 2.0mm, 2.5mm or 3.0mm, with spray coating on both sides. They are lightweight yet strong, have good corrosion resistance and can perfectly match the aluminum frame, further improving the overall durability and consistency of the door.
