What should Houghton-le-Spring homeowners know about glazed sectional doors?
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.
What about privacy?
Frosted, obscured or tinted glazing infills keep the light while hiding what is inside. On full-vision doors this is the usual choice for homes.
Which options are available in Houghton-le-Spring?
- Frame coloursBlack, anthracite, silver and RAL colours.
- Window insert rowsRectangular or decorative inserts in one section.
- Full-vision aluminiumGlazed throughout in an aluminium frame.
- Obscured infillsFrosted or tinted for privacy.
