Garage doors · Steinau range
Aluminium-framed garage doors: more light, greater transparency, clean architectural lines.
Large framed sections with clear, frosted or solid infill panels make the garage door a deliberate architectural feature – particularly appealing when the garage is more than just a parking space.

Planning
Façade and function considered together
More than a garage door
When light and the façade matter as much as the opening.
01
A bright garage
Daylight makes the space more usable – especially when the garage is used as a workshop or hobby room, or is directly connected to the house.
02
Technical elegance
Slim frames and a clean grid pattern complement modern architecture and façades with large glazed areas.
03
Adjustable privacy
Clear, frosted or solid: the infill panels can balance your daylight needs with your preferred level of privacy.
04
Consider ventilation
Depending on how the space is used, suitable infill panels or ventilation solutions can help regulate moisture and air exchange effectively.
Design
The grid pattern defines the look.
The character of an aluminium-framed garage door comes from its panel layout, frame colour and infill. That is why we plan not only the overall size, but also the proportions in relation to windows, joints and adjoining building elements.
- Align the panel grid with the window and façade axes
- Choose transparency and privacy levels carefully
- Consider how the door looks from inside the garage
- Take cleaning, ventilation and everyday use into account
A look at commercial and public-sector buildings
The same design approach – significantly higher technical requirements.
For car dealerships, workshops, fire stations and other commercial or public-sector buildings, aluminium sectional doors are designed with larger openings, higher operating cycle counts, special infills and more complex controls. For private garages, we apply this design approach only where it makes sense.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about aluminium-framed garage doors.
Are aluminium-framed garage doors only intended for commercial buildings?
No. A transparent appearance or a clearly defined panel grid can work particularly well with modern residential architecture. What matters is that the design suits the house.
Can I combine privacy with daylight?
Yes. Depending on the infill, transparent, frosted and solid sections can be combined. We tailor the selection to how the garage is used and the level of privacy you want.
What about thermal insulation?
Large transparent areas have different thermal properties from fully insulated panels. For attached or temperature-controlled garages, this is taken into account when selecting the door system.
What type of door could I choose instead?
If maximum insulation and a simple, solid surface are more important, a conventional sectional garage door is often the more suitable solution.

How much light would you like in your garage?
A photo of the façade and a brief description of how you use the garage help us assess the appropriate transparency, panel layout and door type.
