Clopay showcased two innovative residential aluminum and glass doors at the 2025 International Builders’ Show (IBS) that have builders, remodelers and architects rethinking garage door design and functionality: the VertiStack® Avante®, a unique compact vertical stacking door, and an Avante® Sleek door with smart film technology that switches between clear and opaque glass.
Named IBS “Best in Show” 2025 award winner, the VertiStack Avante stacks panel sections on the wall above the door opening, eliminating the need for overhead tracks, exposed hinges, or cable to deliver a clean, modern aesthetic and maximize usable ceiling space and daylight. The judges felt that this fresh take on traditional garage doors offers updated architectural appeal, while adding significant overhead storage space, and a seamless transition between indoors and outside.
Customizable to fit openings up to 18’ wide and 10’ tall, the VertiStack Avante is ideal for residential garages, workshops and barns. Multiple glass options give owners the flexibility to control natural light and privacy, and the frame comes in many colors.
Clopay’s VertiStack Avante doors are featured on The New American Home 2025, the official IBS showcase home.Clopay also offered a sneak peek of a modern Avante Sleek aluminum and glass garage door that gives users the option to change the privacy setting of their garage door glass via remote control.

Many homeowners are now using the garage as additional living space and choosing full-view garage doors to increase natural light and indoor-outdoor connections. Having the ability to instantly switch from clear to opaque glass provides the best of both worlds: increased curb appeal and natural light during the day, and privacy and security at night or when you are away. The door will be available later this year.
