Apr 2023
The Canyon Ridge® Carriage House (4-Layer) door is another smart, stylish alternative to real wood—perfect for homeowners who want classic carriage house charm with none of the maintenance worries. Built with an energy-efficient Intellicore® polyurethane insulated steel core, this door is topped with moisture-resistant Clear Cypress composite overlays, capturing the rich texture of wood while standing strong against the elements. Unlike traditional wood, the composite overlay won’t warp, crack, or need constant touch ups, so it stays beautiful year after year.
This door has fully visible steel panels beneath the overlay, which you can finish in Ultra-Grain® for a stained wood look or paint in any color to match your home. The result is a versatile, low-maintenance garage door with all the warmth and character of wood, plus the added bonus of improved energy efficiency and durability. Whether you’re refreshing a historic home or just want a charming garage door, the Canyon Ridge® (4-Layer) makes it easy to get the look you love.
The Canyon Ridge® Carriage House (4-Layer) door is made with a steel base, Intellicore® polyurethane insulation, another steel layer, and a composite overlay—so you get durability, energy efficiency, and lasting good looks.
The faux wood composite overlay is molded from real wood, capturing all the charm and natural texture of classic carriage house doors without the maintenance headaches.
Choose from 15 carriage house styles, optional windows, and eye-catching decorative hardware to make your door your own. Pick from 8 standard finishes or go bold with more than 1,500 custom ColorBlast® paint colors.
With a 2" thick Intellicore® polyurethane core (R-value 18.4), your garage stays more comfortable all year.
WindCode® door reinforcement is available for extra peace of mind in high-wind areas.

Each Canyon Ridge® Carriage House (4-Layer) garage door is designed for strength, insulation, and low maintenance. The foundation is a heavy-duty steel base that offers solid support and long-lasting durability. On top of that, a second layer of steel adds extra strength, while Clopay’s exclusive Intellicore® polyurethane insulation—2" thick—is sandwiched in between. This insulation delivers excellent thermal efficiency with an R-value of 18.4, helping keep your garage comfortable and quiet.
The exterior features a moisture-resistant composite overlay, molded from real wood pieces to mimic the look and grain of genuine wood. Unlike real wood, the composite won’t warp, crack, or rot, even in tough weather conditions.
The hot-dipped galvanized steel is finished with a durable, baked-on primer and topcoat to guard against rust and fading. For safety, every door includes pinch-resistant sections and strong safety brackets as standard features.
The Canyon Ridge® Carriage House (4-Layer) collection offers a range of door designs. You can choose from three series, each with its own distinctive look. Whether you prefer a traditional carriage house design, a more modern farmhouse vibe or a mix of both, there’s a configuration to complement your home’s character.
Each design series features unique window arrangements—from classic rectangular panes to arched or full-view options—so you can let in sunlight or keep things private. The option for solid or windowed tops let you create a door that feels custom-made. With so many combinations, it’s easy to find a look that complements everything from historic homes to contemporary builds, all with the enduring appeal of carriage house style.

Very happy with our new door. High quality construction throughout, even the inside looks great. Outside, the sections blend seamlessly and look like real wood. The window mullions can easily be removed and replaced for cleaning. The door operation is smooth and quiet, due in part to the Intellicore insulation.

We absolutely love our new Clopay Canyon Ridge 4 layer Carriage House garage door. Beautiful quality. Looks like wood, which is exactly the look we were going for without the real wood maintenance.

Our new door was installed this morning. It is STUNNING. Exceeded our expectations. This facelift to our curb appeal was well worth the price. It is definitely not a “cookie cutter” garage door.

Customer chose to go with a multi-colored door, and it turned out great. The installation of this door went smoothly, and the quality of the material is great. Would highly recommend.

Not only is the door a show stopper, but it has really helped keep the garage warm with the fiberglass system and insulation. This door is going to last us forever and we are so thrilled we got it!

Do not buy these doors! I initially loved these doors but now the composite material is coming loose and falling off. Clopay and installer say that it cannot be repaired and I need to buy replacement doors.
