VertiStack Avante garage doors are constructed from a low-maintenance, weather-resistant commercial grade aluminum frame outfitted with glass, other glazing materials or solid aluminum panels.
The compact sections stack above the opening without the need for overhead tracks. It takes up minimal space, so it won't interfere with mechanical, electrical or plumbing fixtures located in the ceiling. The panels can even be recessed into the ceiling if desired, so when the door is open, you'll barely know it's there.
Start designing your VertiStack Avante garage door. Control privacy and amount of light that enters the garage based on the type of glazing you select: clear, frosted, tinted, mirrored, or obscure. You can also incorporate solid aluminum panels painted the same color as the frame.

We have been looking quite a while to find a door that kept out the elements but didn’t give the area a closed in feel. We found exactly what we were looking for with the vertistack avante. Not only did the door assembly fit into our available space, we were amazed by how smooth the door operated and how quiet the operation was. It has completely transformed our living save.
