CINCINNATI (February 7, 2007) - Glass panel garage doors like Clopay's Avante™ Collection are becoming a popular modern alternative to French doors to seamlessly merge indoor and outdoor living spaces. At the press of a button, these doors are automatically raised, allowing traffic to flow during gatherings. Closed, they create an attractive wall of windows, adding a panoramic view to any living space. There are many window options available to control the degree of light transmission and privacy including clear, frosted, tinted, mirrored or acrylic glass, wire or laminate. Insulated glass is also available for increased energy efficiency.

The glass is supported by a durable, 2-1/8-inch thick, rust-free, aluminum frame that can be custom-painted or sealed with a clear, white or brown finish. Solid aluminum panels in finishes matching the frame are also available. Capped tongue-and-groove joints and a vinyl bottom weatherseal keep out the elements.
