ABSTRACT:
A garage door window facade is constructed from a flat panel having a plurality of apertures shaped to resemble small window openings. In a first embodiment, a dark-colored backing is positioned behind the flat panel and is visible through the apertures to create the illusion of a window. In a second embodiment, a layer of transparent or translucent material is sandwiched between the flat panel and the dark-colored backing to give an enhanced appearance of a window opening. The assembly is rigidly secured to a standard garage door by bolts, screws, adhesive or the like to give the illusion that the garage door has windows. The apparatus does not protrude far from the exterior surface of the garage door so that the apparatus does not interfere with the opening or closing of the garage door. An aesthetic molding may be positioned around the peripheral edges of the assembly for framing purposes, or the flat panel may be provided with built-in molding.
