The Clopay Window Inserts – Sandtone – REC12 is a genuine OEM decorative grille designed to refresh or replace the window design on compatible Clopay garage doors. The REC12 pattern creates a classic 12-rectangle look for short window openings, delivering a clean, traditional aesthetic that complements Clopay’s Sandtone finish. Use it to replace a damaged insert or to upgrade the appearance of existing glass while maintaining a cohesive, factory-matched look across your door.
This insert is intended for select Clopay doors equipped with short window frames, commonly found in the Classic Collection traditional short panel configurations. It is not universal; verify compatibility by checking your door model and window style or consulting Clopay documentation before ordering. Installation is typically a simple snap-in process: remove the existing insert from the factory window frame and press the REC12 into place, with the door closed and secured. The insert is designed to be removable for cleaning and routine care. For safe handling, wear gloves and eye protection, and avoid harsh cleaners that could affect the finish. If your door uses long window openings, the matching rectangular style is often designated as REC14.
