Garage door window placement help?

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

We are getting ready to order our garage doors this week and are going with CHI in the cedar plank with tinted windows down the wide. Our large door is 20’x8’ and our small one on the other side is 9’x8’ (that door will eventually open up into the backyard where we plan to put a pool one day...that way, easy access to pulling floaties out, getting ice cream from the spare freezer, etc). On the 20’x8’ door there is a side entry door there beside it. I’ll post a photo of that door style also. The side entry door will be painted a dark gray to match our metal roof from the porch overhangs (the blue door is the style, just not the color).

First 2 photos show the front of the house (2nd one was in the painting phase still, so pre-trim paint...actually still in the painting phase but getting closer! Porch ceilings & doors not completed)). Last photo shows the side before you get to the largest garage door.

And, garage openings. First photo shows the smaller door from our backyard area. Other photo shows the large opening that we will drive into. 👍🏼

Please state a concise question.

The question is "Which side of the 20x8 garage door would it look best to have the column of windows on....left or right side?" I wasn't sure if it would look weird to have the windows right next to the side entry door because my first instinct was to put them on the right side, which would put them by the door. My husband thought maybe the left side of the garage door would be better. Same question for the smaller 9x8 garage door on the other side of the garage (it will be the same cedar plank style with 4 windows down one side). I did not realize the question wasn't clear. My bad.

Ours are in the top panel for security however frosted glass can go anywhere giving light plus security. One if our friends has the entire door with frosted glass.
