Let There Be Light!

Haas Door • September 4, 2018

If you currently have a solid garage door, you know how dark it can be in your garage. And, more than likely, the outside of your garage door seems like just a “solid mass” on your home.

By selecting a new garage door with attractive windows, your garage door can help increase the curb appeal of your home plus add some much-needed light to the interior of the garage.

Worried about privacy? Don’t be. With a variety of glass options, Haas Door offers a range of window choices from clear to obscure glass.

Pick Your Glass
Let’s say you’re located in Minnesota and like to work in your garage on small projects throughout the year. During cold winter months you need to keep the garage door closed, but you’d like some natural light. That’s where insulated Clear/Clear or Aqua/Clear glass works best.

Now, if you’re that Minnesota homeowner and you’ve got some valuable tools or other items in your garage, then the more obscure Rain/Frosted insulated glass may work best for you. This glass prevents nosy neighbors and potential thieves from seeing inside your garage but still allows some light into your work space.

Depending on the level of light (and design style) you prefer, Haas Door can help you achieve the look and privacy level you desire. We offer 16 standard insulated glass options in most of our product lines — including variations on Rain, Aqua, Bronze, Frosted and Clear glasses.

Pick Your Style
After deciding which glass option you prefer, it’s time to decide on a window style. Many people select the look of different “frames” within our Carriage House, Ranch and Standard Series. We offer more than 30 collections of window options to choose from.

You can select Prairie or arch style grids in your garage door windows to match the grids on the window in your home or Colonial style grids to complement your home’s overall design. You can even choose simple plain windows that maximize the amount of window space on your garage door. Whatever style works best for you, we can make it happen in your garage door.

Best of Both Worlds
Looking for something a bit more unique for your garage doors? Then check out our decorative glass window options.

We offer Emerald, Modern Craft and Prairieview window styles in our Carriage House, Ranch and Standard sizes with four different glass options. Depending on the level of privacy you desire, the windows can be ordered in Clear, Rain, Aqua and Frosted glass and may be combined to create a unique look. Rain over Frosted provides the greatest level of privacy within the collection and can be used with all three designs. The Rain glass obscures the view while the Frosted provides a level of opacity.

These economical window designs are targeted to help increase the curb appeal of your home while complementing your whole-home window package. Plus they add value to your home exterior and provide just the right amount of privacy you desire.

Energy efficiency is often discussed in terms of windows, insulation and HVAC systems. But one of the largest and most frequently used openings in a home is often overlooked: the garage door. Because the garage connects directly to the living space in many homes, the performance of the garage door affects more than just curb appeal. It plays a meaningful role in comfort, efficiency and long-term home performance. That’s why the way a garage door is built matters.

As hurricane season ramps up, homeowners across the Gulf Coast, Atlantic states and beyond are checking emergency kits, trimming trees and securing loose outdoor items. But one of the most important — and most overlooked — steps in hurricane prep starts with your garage. At Haas Door, we know that your garage door isn’t just about curb appeal. It’s a vital barrier that protects your home from wind, water and debris. And in high-wind events like hurricanes, it can be a first line of defense in protecting your home. Why Your Garage Door Matters in a Storm A compromised garage door can cause catastrophic damage. According to FEMA, garage door failure is one of the leading causes of structural damage during hurricanes. Once the door is breached, wind pressure can build inside your home, lifting the roof and blowing out walls.

Garage Door Myths: What Every Homeowner Should Know Did you know that the largest moving object in your house is your garage door? May is Garage Door Safety Month — a timely reminder to ensure your garage door is working safely and reliably.
