From Double Garage Doors to Stable Style Doors | Easy Ventilation Upgrade

In this video, I demonstrate how to convert a fixed pane on a set of double garage doors into a tilt and turn sash window. This simple but effective upgrade transforms a standard garage conversion into a much more practical and comfortable space by adding ventilation, natural light, and the option to open like a stable door.

Most garages and converted spaces lack proper airflow, which can cause dampness, condensation, or a stuffy environment. By installing a tilt and turn window inside existing double doors, you can create a stable door effect — opening the top section for air circulation while keeping the bottom secure. This is a brilliant solution if you use your garage as a workshop, home office, gym, or utility room.

💡 Why This Conversion Works

This method gives you:
✅ **Better airflow** – tilt mode allows fresh air in without fully opening the doors
✅ **Extra light** – perfect for darker garages and workshops
✅ **Security** – lockable handle and reinforced glazing keeps the space safe
✅ **Flexibility** – use tilt for ventilation, turn for full opening, or close securely
✅ **Cost-effective solution** – upgrade instead of replacing your whole garage door system
