Faux Garage Door Window Kit, for Curb Appeal, Signature Sandstone 2-Pack

PROs: - adds lots of character - quick installation (30 minutes for 4 panels, with 2 people) - realistic window look (really need to get close to see they are not the real thing) - affordable price (as compared to a new garage door with windows) - 15-year manufacturer warranty - true white color still going strong after 1 year of use (no yellowing for us, which was an issue some reviewers mentioned) CONs: - ideally have two people to install These accent windows add a ton of character to our standard double garage door (we ordered 2 sets). The install was quick with two people and the windows look pretty realistic when you walk or drive by, it's only when you get closer that you can see they are not real and even then you'd need to know to pay attention to that. With the instructions came a flyer explaining the 15-year warranty, which I didn't even realize these came with. We ordered magnetic iron-look hardware as well and our garage door looks 100% improved - very happy! It was quick to hold up each panel to mark the screw holes and drill pilot holes. The only tedious part is attaching the screws — there are 6 screw holes in each panel and you have to insert each screw and the fasten it from the back with a rubber washer that you thread onto the screw (see pictures). That's what took the longest. The rubber washers hold the screws in place when you hold up each panel to screw it in — because all 6 screws are in the panel when you put it up, it's really better to have two people. This way there is one person holding the panel steady so the screws don't scratch the garage door and helping to guide the screws into the pilot holes, and another person to screw in each screw a little bit at a time. Overall though, it was still a pretty quick process considering the big impact this change made to our garage door and curb appeal. A few reviews mentioned these panels yellowing after a few months to a year, so I'll be watching out for this. For the price ($200 for a two-car garage door), I think it would still be worth the effort to potentially have to remove the panels in a year to spray paint them white again, if they do yellow. UPDATE, April 2017: After 1 year of use, our panels are still the original white color, we have experienced no yellowing at all. This was something I was looking out for based on other reviews, but luckily for us it turns out not to be an issue so far. I will update if we notice any discoloring over time, but for now we're still very happy with this product.

These were amazing and look like real windows.

We quickly received our ordered 2 sets of windows. They were very easy/simple to install. Took about 2-2 1/2 hours from start to finish of the installation. I did not use the enclosed template as I found it was easier to use the actual window to do my measuring, leveling and pilot hole drilling. Once I finished the installation of the first window the other three were a snap. WHAT A DIFFERENCE THEY MAKE TO THE GARAGE DOORS as well as adding to the curb appeal of the house. They look as if they are real glass windows and were a part of the original doors. A couple of my neighbors have already commented on the change in the apperance of our home. One neighbor even asked me if he ordered windows for his garage doors, would I install them for him. ONLY ONE OFF COMMENT: "As in other reviews, the cost seemed a little high for the items, BUT the change was well worth it." I will most likely purchase 2 more sets for our vacation home.

Thanks looks great

Looks original to the garage door. Put it up just three days ago and have have five neighbors ask me where I got them!! Great purchase. Highly recommended. Took about 2.5 hours to put up two sets without help. I'm sure if you have help it'll go even quicker. Sorry for the poor "before" photo. Forgot to take the picture before putting one panel up but you can still see the transformation. Highly recommend adding on the other accents you see. I got a magnetic version and it took me 1 minute to put those up. They were about $15 per set. My garage has two sets. Update October 2019: Have owned these for 2.5 years and they have not faded one bit, or if they have, they have faded to the exact same extent as the garage door itself so I can't tell. The fact that they're still beautiful validates my decision to buy them. Purchasing a garage door with windows in it is about a $1,000 uptick in price (at least it was for me). This invest me of money and time to install saved me some serious $$$!!

I have been eyeing these for so long!! They finally dropped in price so I bought them ...(then they dropped even more. Come on Amazon). Although, I wish I would have gone straight the the Coach House sight - it was even cheaper there I think, maybe because of a sale. MY GARAGE LOOKS AMAZING! It is the majority of the front of our house from the street so I was dying to do something and this made such a huge impact! I'm thrilled with it! It was easy to install, but definitely need 2 people. I will let the images speak for themselves. Look at that transformation! I couldn't be happier! I didn't want to spend a lot, but I new I didn't just want vinyl decals either. I wanted it to look like windows and have a reflection. Install: drill pilot holes - we placed the window, made sure it was level, marked the holes, measured them to ensure they were the same as the first one. When you get the windows up there definitely use a screwdriver so you don't over tighten. It was super easy and I think a drill would have wrecked it.

Much bigger than small magnetic cut outs. It is already framed so it looks very real, like it came with the door. Somewhat ease to put up, but would be much easier and faster with 2 people. Make sure you have a 1/8" drill bit. Too hard and not accurate when just putting screws in without drilling. Very light weight and flexible. Door closes and opens just fine after install. Not magnetic so not as convenient to install but don't have to worry about them moving or sliding. Way more expensive than cut outs, but it looks more expensive and really stand out on the door, where the cut outs are not framed and are much smaller than these window panels. Don't skimp because of cost, because these look like you put the money into a new door, and not like you saved by putting black magnets on your door. Trust me I researched it, was thinking too costly, but now I have a new looking two car garage door. Which would have cost thousands. Do not get if you have big dents or door is in bad shape. If you have dents where widow panels go, it will cover them up and still work great because they are not magnets, as long as outer edges of window lies flat on surface of garage door. Also shipped and delivered in one day! Install took about 45 minutes for 4 panels. Took more time changing out drill bit with the screw bit and back to drill bit.

Looks good from a distance, but up close you can tell they’re fake. They’re okay overall, but too expensive for what you get. I ordered three and one box arrived completely shattered. My husband was able to install the first two quickly, but we had to stop when we got to the broken one. With a baby and toddler, free time for projects is rare. The replacement arrived four days later, but by then he’d misplaced the drill bit, so we still haven’t been able to put the last panels up. These really need better packaging so customers don’t deal with this hassle. And for the price, including the drill bit would be a nice touch.

This is the easiest job my husband has ever had to do:) Made the garage look night and day different - all our neighbors thought we bought a new door - we did also buy the magnetic handles and clamps to look like the barn door effect. Came fast, no problems and so easy to install. Highly recommend them:)

The service was beyond great. I received these panels in two days. The panels were very well packaged and so easy to install. Made all the difference in the world once they were up. I love them and would absolutely recommend to others.

looks great from the road

We are impressed with the windows. They look great on the garage. But when I ordered the two sets they were shipped individually. So the delivery date was different on each one by about one month. Felt that it was a waste to have the two deliveries
