Wood frame all glass panel garage door?
 

This will sound silly to most but here goes. Was dining @ Logan's roadhouse
the other night and was asked if we would sit in the garage.......we said
sure. The garage consisted of wood frame, all glass panels overhead doors,
that were stained to perfection (fruitwood color). Anyway that is all it
took, as we have been trying to devise a mutifunction sunroom/ recroom/
extra vehicle garage. We have an alarm system in place to guard our proposed
glass house. I am ready to build it.........but can't find the wood/glass
doors anywhere. Have googled and yahooed till I am blue in the face. Plenty
of folks offer aluminum/glass but no wood glass. If no one here knows of a
souce I will try to ask the manager @Logan's. I suspect the architect is
long gone. This is the Louisville KY Logan's. Do all of them have the
garage? Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided. All responses
welcome. BTW I am kinda stuck on the stained wood deal to make it blend in
with our house. There is not a painted board on the premises.
Thanks Lyndell

Google for "glass garage door", using the quotation marks, to limit your
search.
On the right column, you will find a place called www.glassgaragedoor.com
that sells all glass metal-framed doors. The one you saw could have been
metal, stained/painted to simulate wood. If they don't have what you want,
they may know who does. Also on the same google site are similar doors used
as cafe and restaurant fronts, some used, and for sale.

Since you can buy almost any wood door w/ a glass top section, you
should be able to get the all glass door from any garage door dealer.
Just tell them you want glass in every section. Since the door was in
a public area the glass was most likely tempered (required by code in
Florida to a certain height in public places) & since you will be
using this as a rec room you may also want to consider you something
stronger then the normal garage door glass.

twenty or so years back, I worked at a company that sold/installed
garage doors, among other home items. They did make wood doors that
had wood frames and were made with at least one section of glassed
panels. I used to replace the broken glass, when they were not yet
sold.

I would suggest that it'd be easy to buy a door that was all wood, and
use a skill saw or the like, and cut out the masonite panels and
install glass. ( we did this also in a pinch )..........all you need
to do is buy some 1/4 round and go to town. small brad nails and some
putty and they'd look like they were builtt that way.

This is a suggestion, not intended for normal installations, but it
could be done on all sections. however , I suggest you do all but the
bottom section for obvious damage reasons. You'd only lose a small
portion of the "openness".
