Clopay^® Avante^® C-Power™ Garage Door Named Innovation Finalist at The Home Depot’s 2026 Supplier Partnership Meeting

Clopay Corporation, North America’s largest manufacturer of residential and commercial garage doors, was named an innovation finalist at The Home Depot’s 2026 Annual Supplier Partnership Meeting for its Avante^® garage door featuring C-Power^™ enabled Click-to-Conceal^™ Panels.

The Avante C-Power door features switchable glass technology that changes from clear to opaque at the touch of a button giving homeowners natural light and outdoor views when they want them, and instant privacy when they don’t. By pairing a modern full-view door aesthetic with on-demand privacy, Clopay is reimagining what a garage door can do.

“Innovation is the cornerstone of Clopay’s future,” said Vic Weldon, president of Clopay Corporation. “Our approach is to innovate, differentiate and accelerate, and we’ve invested heavily to turn new ideas into meaningful customer benefits. This recognition from The Home Depot shows we’re on the right track as we continue to fuel a robust multi-year product development roadmap.”

The Home Depot honor adds to an impressive list of industry accolades for the Avante C-Power door, which was also named a Best of IBS 2026 award winner in the Doors & Windows category at the International Builders’ Show and won a 2026 Innovation Award from the International Door Association.

Clopay’s partnership with The Home Depot shares a common focus on quality, customer value and products that meet evolving market needs. In 2025, Clopay was named The Home Depot’s Partner of the Year in the millwork category for its contributions to product development, customer experience and service. The 2026 finalist recognition further highlights the impact of that collaboration and the power of innovation to move the category forward.
