Project overview
The owners of this modern home in Corona del Mar had a dark flush door with a strip of vertical windows. It looked dated next to their new stucco and wood trim. They wanted more daylight in the garage, which they use as a gym, while keeping privacy from the street.
We installed a black aluminum full-view door with frosted, tempered glass panels, new springs sized for the heavier glass door, and a belt-drive opener with an LED light.
Client requirements
The door had to bring in daylight without letting people see in, and it had to hold up to salty air a few blocks from the beach.
- Natural light with privacy glass
- Corrosion-resistant frame and hardware
- Springs sized for a heavier glass door
- Quiet operation for an attached gym
Our solutions
We chose an anodized aluminum frame with frosted tempered glass and stainless hardware for the coastal setting.
1. Full-view frame:
Black anodized aluminum frame with frosted tempered glass panels.
2. Heavy-duty springs:
High-cycle torsion springs sized to the weight of the glass door.
3. Coastal hardware:
Stainless hinges and sealed-bearing rollers that resist salt air.
4. Belt-drive opener:
Quiet belt-drive opener with an LED light and battery backup.
Result & client feedback
The garage is now bright all day, with full privacy from the street. It has become the owners' favorite room for morning workouts. Interested in something similar? Read about our garage door installation service.
