The Avante® is more than just an upgrade; it’s a stunning garage door designed to turn heads and leave a lasting impression. With its clean, minimalist lines and sleek aluminum frame, the Avante® creates a dramatic architectural presence for any space—garage, loft, solarium, or even as a creative indoor partition. You can customize glass and aluminum panels to control privacy, natural light, and achieve a look that reflects your style.
Let daylight stream in with clear or frosted glass or select tinted and mirrored panels for added privacy. At night, the Avante® softly illuminates your space, bringing a modern edge to your home. Built with commercial-grade aluminum and Intellicore® insulation, it’s strong, energy efficient, quiet, and easy to maintain.
The Avante® features a strong, 2-1/8" commercial-grade aluminum frame that stands up to daily use and weather, all while staying low-maintenance.
Mix and match from a variety of finishes — choose anodized, painted, or powder-coated frames, plus over 1,500 custom Color Blast® shades. Fill your panels with tempered glass, acrylic, Polygal, or solid aluminum to match your style and privacy needs.
Let the sun in with clear panels or opt for frosted or tinted glass for privacy. Insulated glass panels are available for extra comfort and energy efficiency.
WindCode® door reinforcement is available for homes in high wind areas.

The Avante® is built with a virtually maintenance-free, commercial-grade aluminum frame that stands up to daily life and weather. Its 2-1/8" thick construction includes Intellicore® polyurethane-insulated rails and stiles (on Model AXU), giving you added strength, energy efficiency, and a quieter garage with an R-value of 3.8 when paired with insulated glass.
Every section of the door features tongue-and-groove joints and a section joint seal to help keep out air and water, so your garage stays more comfortable all year. For double-car models and wider doors, an integral reinforcing fin increases strength and durability.
Choose from a wide range of tempered glass, acrylic, Polygal, or solid aluminum panels to match your light and privacy needs. The rust-resistant frame and panels are easy to clean and built to last, with safety brackets included.
The Avante® lets you fine-tune your garage door’s look and privacy with a wide selection of specialty glass and panel options. Choose clear glass for maximum daylight or go with tinted options like gray, bronze, or midnight gray for a softer, more private effect. Mirrored and obscure glass add another layer of privacy.
Impact-rated glass is available for select models which is perfect for areas prone to storms. Frosted and white laminate glass offer privacy without sacrificing natural light, while acrylic and Polygal panels give you lightweight, durable alternatives with a contemporary twist.
All glass (except for some specialty types) is tempered for safety. You can mix and match glass, acrylic, and aluminum panels to create the custom look you want. Just note: some specialty glass isn’t available with insulation, and acrylic panels need a little extra care when cleaning. But no matter what you choose, your door will be both functional and beautiful.
Note: *Satin etched is used in the AX/AXU models.
The Avante® comes in a variety of sleek finishes to match any style. Choose from Clear Aluminum for a bright, modern look, or go with Standard White for a crisp, clean finish. If you want something richer, Bronze and Chocolate painted options add warmth and depth. For those who love darker tones, Black and Dark Bronze anodized finishes create a sophisticated contrast.
If you’re after something unique, Clopay’s custom Color Blast® program lets you pick from over 1,500 colors, so you can match your home’s style down to the last detail. While anodized finishes offer a beautiful metallic look, keep in mind there may be some color variation — for a more uniform bronze, the painted version is your best bet.
Due to the anodizing process, color variation may occur. The use of “Bronze (Painted)” is recommended for a more consistent bronze finish color. Custom colors available.
The Avante® keeps hardware simple and stylish. Each door comes with the option to add a sleek aluminum grip handle, designed for easy, comfortable use every time you open or close your garage. The handle’s clean lines and sturdy construction blend well with the modern aesthetic of the door itself.

Aluminum is a low-maintenance, weather-resistant material that won’t rust or corrode, making it a good choice for coastal environments.
The Avante® is a natural match for contemporary, modern, and mid-century homes, thanks to its clean lines, minimalist frame, and expansive glass panels that let in light and showcase futuristic architecture. It’s also a great choice for urban lofts, industrial-inspired spaces, and homes with mixed materials like wood, stone, or metal because the door’s aluminum and glass construction adds a touch of sleek contrast that pulls everything together. Even Craftsman or transitional homes can benefit from the Avante®’s flexibility; its customizable panels and color options can soften the ultra-modern look or highlight unique features. Whether your home is all about sharp angles, open spaces, or creative blends of old and new, the Avante® provides the right balance of style and substance to make your garage feel like it truly belongs.
