Looking to bring in more light, style, and flexibility with a glass overhead door? You’re not alone. From luxury garages to trendy restaurants and modern offices, glass overhead doors are one of the most in-demand architectural features in 2025.
But let’s get down to what everyone wants to know:
What do glass overhead doors cost?
At Raven Custom Glass, we install overhead glass doors across Las Vegas and the surrounding region. Below, we’re breaking down what you can expect to pay, what affects the final cost, and how to choose the right system for your space.
Average Cost of Glass Overhead Doors in 2025
The cost of a glass overhead door in 2025 can range widely depending on size, type of glass, frame materials, and whether it’s for residential or commercial use.

What Affects Glass Overhead Door Cost?
Several factors influence the total investment:
1. Size & Configuration
The bigger the opening, the higher the cost. Single-panel doors (for garages or patios) cost less than double-wide or multi-panel commercial doors.
2. Glass Type
Choose from:
-
Clear tempered glass (standard)
-
Frosted, tinted, or low-E glass
-
Insulated dual-pane glass
-
Custom etched or branded glass
Each option impacts cost, energy efficiency, and privacy.
3. Frame Material
-
Aluminum: Lightweight, modern, most common (and affordable)
-
Steel: Durable but heavier and more expensive
-
Wood & Custom Finishes: Higher-end, custom look
4. Opening System
Motorized vs. manual lift systems affect both price and user experience. Motorized openers with remote controls are common in residential installs, while commercial spaces may need industrial-strength openers.
5. Installation Conditions
Complex installations (uneven surfaces, tight clearances, structural work) can increase labor time and costs.
