Design Your Door
Where To Buy/Service
First impressions are everything, especially in real estate. Your home's exterior is the first thing you, visitors, or potential buyers will see when arriving, so you want it to be memorable. A modern, sleek exterior can instantly make your home stand out in a crowded neighborhood. And the biggest—and often most overlooked—feature that can make or break a contemporary vibe is the garage door.
Clopay's VertiStack® Avante® collection is a game-changer for homeowners seeking a cutting-edge look. With its unique vertical panel stacking design, this door delivers clean lines, a flush appearance, and an open ceiling space.
In this blog, we'll explain the benefits of the VertiStack Avante® series and how it can be the perfect solution for homeowners looking to bring their home's exterior to the next level.
Aesthetic Appeal
The VertiStack Avante's modern design is centered around clean lines and minimal ornamentation. Unlike traditional garage doors, the VertiStack Avante® features sections that stack above the opening when raised without the need for overhead tracks. This innovative design provides a clear, open ceiling space that maximizes interior room.
The VertiStack Avante's compact design keeps lines and angles to a minimum, eliminating the need for exposed hinges, cable, or an overhead track. The stacked sections project minimally from the wall, ensuring the door doesn't interfere with ceiling fans, lighting, or overhead storage. For a fully recessed look, the sections can even be installed into a ceiling soffit, making the door nearly invisible when open.
The VertiStack Avante® is customizable to fit openings from 5-feet to 18.6-feet wide and 6-feet to 10-feet tall. A VertiStack Avante® garage door can instantly update a home's exterior, creating a clean, contemporary façade that complements other modern design elements.
Innovative Design Features
A key design element that sets the VertiStack Avante® apart is its use of glass panels. Unlike solid garage doors that can make a space feel dark and closed-in, the VertiStack Avante's glass panels allow natural light to flood into the garage, creating a bright, airy space. This abundance of daylight makes the garage more welcoming. And while the glass brings in light, it also maintains privacy. Homeowners can choose from a variety of glass options to control how much of the outdoors is visible from inside.
The VertiStack Avante's frame is crafted from durable, lightweight aluminum, giving the door a refined aesthetic, with clean lines and a minimalist feel. The aluminum frame is also incredibly resilient, withstanding the elements while requiring minimal maintenance. Its lightweight nature makes the door easy to operate, ensuring smooth, quiet movement.
Customization Options
One of the standout features of the VertiStack Avante® is its incredible adaptability. Clopay offers a wide range of customization options, allowing homeowners to tailor their garage door to perfectly match their personal style and home architecture.
When it comes to finishes, there are plenty of choices. The aluminum frame can be finished in clear, dark bronze, or black anodized for a polished look. For a pop of color, the frame is also available in painted white, bronze, or chocolate.
The VertiStack Avante's glass panels come in a variety of options, including tempered, frosted, laminate, tinted, mirrored, obscure, polygal™, insulated, and Low-E glass, as well as acrylic or polycarbonate for added durability. This allows homeowners to control the amount of natural light that enters, as well as the level of privacy.
With so many possibilities, the VertiStack Avante® can be made to fit any architectural style. For contemporary homes, a frame finished in dark bronze anodized paired with frosted glass creates a clean, minimalist look. In industrial-chic spaces, the VertiStack Avante's aluminum frame in its natural finish pairs perfectly with exposed brick and metal accents. Even in traditional homes, the Avante door can blend seamlessly, especially when paired with a painted white or bronze finish.
The door's adaptability is a testament to its innovative design. By offering such a wide range of customization options, Clopay has made the VertiStack Avante® a versatile choice for any homeowner.
Functionality Meets Style
While the VertiStack Avante's sophisticated design is sure to turn heads, its functionality is just as impressive. The door's lightweight aluminum frame and clever design ensure smooth, quiet operation when opening and closing. Its resilience also enables it to withstand the elements and requires minimal upkeep.
For homeowners in climates with extreme temperatures, the VertiStack Avante offers insulation options for added energy efficiency. Choices like insulated glass and Intellicore® polyurethane insulated rails and stiles, along with section joint seals help regulate the garage's temperature and keep out air and water. This not only makes the space more comfortable but also helps reduce energy costs by minimizing heat transfer.
With its refined, avant-garde appearance, the VertiStack Avante® is a unique garage door. By combining clean lines, natural light, and seamless transitions, it’s the perfect choice for homeowners seeking to elevate their home's style and functionality. Its’ customization options ensure it can fit any architectural style, from contemporary to industrial. And with its easy operation, low maintenance, and energy efficiency, this door delivers practical benefits as well. Whether you're building new, renovating, or simply want to enhance your home exterior, Clopay’s VertiStack Avante® is worth exploring.
