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.

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.
