Window inserts & glass options
The Series 400 can be configured with the following window insert designs and glass finishes — straight from Invicta's factory catalog for this specific door.

Compact window designs sized to a single door panel — subtle curb appeal without dominating the door face.
Plain
Simple rectangular pane — clean and understated
Stockton
Divided-lite grid — classic residential look
Cascade

The 4 glass finishes
Invicta offers four glass finishes across every window insert style. Pick the balance of natural light and privacy that fits your garage.
Reference
Clear
Fully transparent — the logo behind reads sharp and clear. Maximum natural light in the garage.
Obscured
Textured pattern — the logo becomes a soft, blurred shape. Privacy while letting light through.
Acid Etched
Uniformly frosted — the logo is barely visible as a faint outline. The most privacy, softest light.
Grey Tinted
Grey-tinted transparency — the logo is still visible but muted. Cuts sun glare, modern look.
Optional glass upgrades
Apply either of these to any of the 4 finishes above
These aren't separate glass options — they're construction upgrades that let you take any Clear, Obscured, Acid Etched, or Grey Tinted finish and make it safer or more thermally efficient.
Tempered glass
Safety glass — breaks into small pieces instead of shards. Recommended for doors within reach of the driveway.
Insulated glass
Double-pane sealed unit — reduces heat transfer through the window. Worth considering for attached garages in Arizona sun.
Long window inserts are available on select Series 400 models — ask us during the quote if you have a specific long-window design in mind.
Choose your insulation: Good, Better, or Best
Every Series 400 is available in three insulation tiers. Same panel design, three levels of thermal performance and quiet operation. Here's how the constructions actually compare — and which one we recommend most often for Arizona garages.

Why Arizona homeowners choose the Series 400
The Invicta short carriage house garage door — architectural detail without the full carriage commitment
The Invicta Series 400 short carriage house is the transitional middle-ground between the raised-panel Series 100 and the full-carriage Series 300. Its recessed panels add architectural definition and depth that a plain raised-panel can't match, but the design stays more restrained than the vertical proportions of a true carriage-house door. That makes the Series 400 our recommended pick for Arizona homeowners in Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, and Queen Creek who want something more visually interesting than a basic Series 100 but don't want the full carriage-house statement.
The Series 400 uses the same three-tier construction ladder as the raised-panel series. The non-insulated Series 406 works for detached garages. The polystyrene-insulated Series 414 hits a solid mid-range price point with real thermal performance. The polyurethane sandwich Series 418 (R-9.7) is the tier we most often recommend for attached garages in the Arizona climate — the sandwich construction cuts summer heat transfer and drops operating noise significantly.
One nice property of the recessed-panel Series 400: because the panel face is set slightly inside the frame, small dings and scratches from a busy driveway (kids on bikes, laundry baskets, ladders) tend to be less visible than they would be on a raised-panel Series 100. It's a small quality-of-life win over a decade of ownership.
Farnsworth Garage Door Service is your local authorized Invicta Series 400 installer across Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, Scottsdale, Tempe, Phoenix, and the rest of the East Valley.

Frequently asked questions
The questions Arizona homeowners ask us most when they're choosing a Series 400.
Raised panels (Series 100, 200, 300) push the center of each panel OUT from the door face — the panels stand proud with a beveled edge. Recessed panels (Series 400) push the center of each panel IN — creating shadow lines around each panel instead of bevels. The visual effect is more architectural and less traditional than a raised-panel look, without going fully contemporary like a flush door.
It's the transitional middle ground. More architectural than a Series 100 raised panel (which reads traditional), but less austere than the Series 500 flush (which reads fully modern). If your home is transitional, contemporary-with-warmth, or a newer stucco build that doesn't want to commit to either extreme, the Series 400 usually sits right in the sweet spot.
Somewhat — because the panel face is set slightly inside the frame, small dings on the flat panel center are less visible than they would be on a raised panel where the bevels catch light differently. It's not indestructible, but it's generally more forgiving to the day-to-day scrapes and dings a busy family driveway sees.
Yes — Invicta offers window inserts on the top row of the Series 400 that emphasize its architectural feel. The recessed-panel design pairs particularly well with rectangular window shapes (rather than arches), and smoke or frosted glass tends to look more intentional than clear glass on this specific series.
For attached garages, the Series 418 (2-inch polyurethane sandwich) is our default recommendation — same reasoning as any Invicta door: Arizona heat, garage next to living space, quieter operation. If the garage is detached or you're on a tight budget, the Series 414 (polystyrene-insulated) is a reasonable step down that still gives you meaningful thermal performance.
It can, but it's not the strongest choice for a strict contemporary or desert-modern design. If your home has flat rooflines, minimal trim, and heavy horizontal massing, the Series 500 (flush) or Series 600 (slat) will look more intentional. The Series 400 shines on transitional homes that want architectural interest without going full-modern.
Farnsworth Garage Door Service is the authorized Invicta Series 400 dealer for Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, Scottsdale, Tempe, and Phoenix. The Series 400 sits between the raised-panel Series 100 and the full carriage-house Series 300 — a transitional pick for homeowners who want architectural detail without committing to a full carriage aesthetic. We'll walk you through the panel options during your free quote.
