Glazed and full-vision sectional garage doors in Ferndown

Key questions about glazed sectional doors in Ferndown

Window inserts or full vision?

Window inserts are the simple choice: a row of glazed panels in one section of an otherwise solid door. A full-vision door is a different construction, an aluminium frame with glazing throughout, which lets in far more light and makes a design statement.

Are glazed doors secure?

Glazed panels are generally polycarbonate or safety glazing, depending on the range. A glazed door is still locked by the operator or a lock, but it naturally shows more than a solid door, which is one reason obscured glazing is popular.
