Where To Buy/Service
Full-view glass overhead doors can change the look, feel, and functionality of a commercial space. From the Architectural Series-Aluminum to our innovative VertiStack® Clear door, each product boasts a distinctive design and utility. Choosing the right option can elevate the architectural design of your interior and exterior spaces, increase your footprint, and improve the flow of your day-to-day operations. Learn about three full-view door options and what industries they’re trending in.
Architectural Series-Aluminum
Aluminum full-view doors have lighter frames compared to steel, making for easier installation and operation. Because aluminum is naturally corrosion-resistant, less maintenance is needed, making it a popular choice for businesses looking for moderate security with minimal upkeep.
Architectural Series Aluminum: Model 904
Architectural Series model 904 features four distinct sections with both single and double-end stiles. Additionally, center stiles on the rear of each section strengthen the door. This design divides the glass into smaller, individual panels in contrast to other models in the series. Balanced stile spacing and proportional stile profiles lend to one of the most polished aesthetics currently available on the market. Model 904 leans into a more traditional look compared to other models in the series.
Robust construction and classic design make the Clopay 904 door capable of holding its own in demanding environments. You’ll typically see these doors incorporated into ambulance bays, auto dealerships, auto repair shops, car wash stations, fire stations, and restaurants and entertainment venues.
Architectural Series Aluminum: Models 905 and 906
The Architectural Series models 905 and 906 share similarities with the 904, but have some key differences. In these designs, the center stiles are removed, creating space for solid glass panels, resulting in a sleek, modern look. The section height plays a crucial role in the strength and design options for the doors. Due to their height, models 905/906 require six sections. Wider sections in the 905/906 allow for larger glass panels up to 10 feet 2 inches wide, with minimal visible stiles extending beyond that width.
The striking contemporary design of the 905/906 melds with diverse architectural trends, including modernism, biophilic design, adaptive reuse, and flexible, multi-functional spaces.
