Key questions about glazed sectional doors in Herne Bay
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.
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.
