What should Braintree homeowners know about glazed sectional doors?
Do windows reduce insulation?
Yes, slightly. Glazed panels lose more heat than insulated steel panels, and full-vision doors lose more again unless thermally broken frames and insulated glazing are specified.
Are full-vision doors heavier?
Aluminium and glazing can weigh more than steel panels of the same size, so springs and operators are sized to suit.
