Overview

Built for Modern Living

Construction

Engineered for Strength and Seamless Space

The VertiStack® Avante® is built with a tough, 2-5/8" commercial-grade aluminum frame that stands up to everyday wear and tear. The frame resists rust and corrosion, making it a smart pick for any climate. Each section is filled with Intellicore® polyurethane insulation, so you get better temperature control and a quieter garage (R-value 3.8). Choose from a variety of panel options—tempered glass, acrylic, polycarbonate, or solid aluminum—to match your style and needs.

One of the standout features is the open-concept stacking design. Instead of swinging overhead, the door sections stack tightly along the wall with minimal projection, leaving your ceiling clear for lights, storage, or even tall vehicles. The panels can even disappear into a recessed soffit, keeping your garage open and uncluttered. Safety brackets and sturdy hardware round out the package for peace of mind and long-lasting performance.

Design Options

Personalize your VertiStack® Avante® with a wide selection of glass and panel options to get the perfect blend of style, light, and privacy. Choose from clear, tinted (Gray, Midnight Gray, or Bronze), mirrored, or obscure tempered glass for a look that fits your home. Want even more privacy? Go for frosted glass or frosted acrylic panels, both of which let in light while keeping things discreet inside.

If you need something extra-tough, impact-rated glass is available on some models. You can also pick from clear, white, or black laminate glass, or opt for acrylic or Polygal™ panels in clear or bronze. For a seamless look, panels can be matched to the aluminum frame or mix glass, acrylic, and aluminum to create your own design.

Most glass is available in single pane or insulated styles (except for mirrored and laminated glass), and custom glass or colors are always an option. Just keep in mind: acrylic windows need a little extra care when cleaning to keep them looking their best.
