Commercial glass door types can be customizable, which means you have the creative freedom to design the commercial door that will best fit your business.
Clear Glass
If you want your commercial glass to be see-through, clear glass is the obvious choice. Storefronts often choose clear glass so that customers see inside the building. If you offer merchandise, it’s a great way to showcase your stock.
Tinted Glass
Tinted glass offers more privacy than clear glass. It also brings other benefits, such as the ability to block UV rays and keep the interior cool. Tinted glass does add more security, especially at night. It can be customized with various coatings and finishes. If you desire more privacy for your building, but still want glass commercial doors, you can design a darker coating that will add the desired level of privacy.
Frosted Glass
Frosted glass is fairly similar to tinted glass, but offers a different look. It still grants privacy, while adding brightness. Frosted glass will filter sunlight, allowing light to stream through while also blocking the heat’s harshness.
Safety Glass
Safety glass is a broad category, including all types of glass that offer security features. Safety glass can be clear, tinted, or frosted, but is constructed with premium durability. You can choose between:
- Tempered glass
- Security glass
- Laminated glass
- Wired glass
These doors are built to resist blunt force, but also offer other beneficial features. Many are insulated and can block UV rays. Not only are they built to withstand force, but will shatter in the safest way possible, so as not to injure people. An example would be tempered glass, which breaks into small glass balls to minimize the risk of injury.
Insulated Glass
Insulated glass is always advised for your commercial door, as it helps to save energy and block heat. Insulated glass includes:
- Dual pane glass
- Gas-filled gas
- Treated gas
We can help you choose the best glass insulation for your glass overhead doors commercial, depending on your location, weather conditions, and desired design.
