Garage doors are made of wood, hardboard on a wood frame, steel, glass fiber on a steel frame, glass fiber, and aluminum. All come with glazed panes in a wide variety of styles. Check wood and hardboard for rot and water damage, check hardboard for cracking and splitting, check steel for rust, check glass fiber for ultraviolet light deterioration, and check aluminum for dents. Safety Glazing Glazed entrance doors including storm doors, sliding glass patio doors, and glazing immediately adjacent to these doors, but excluding jalousie doors, should be fully tempered, wire, or laminated glass or an approved plastic material. In addition, glazing adjacent to any surface normally used for walking must be safety glazing.
Safety glazing is a building code requirement that applies to both new and replacement glazing.
