Intellicore® Insulation

Warmer. Quieter. Stronger.
Garage doors featuring Intellicore insulation technology represent the ultimate smart choice for homeowners. Clopay’s Intellicore is a proprietary polyurethane foam that is injected into a garage door, expanding to fill the entire structure. The result is a door with incredible strength, energy efficiency, and durability.

Additional Features

  • Replaceable vinyl bottom weather seal in a rust-resistant aluminum retainer helps keep out air and water.
  • Integral section joint seal helps keep out air and water.
  • Built-in reinforcing fin provides increased strength and longevity. Included on doors wider than 14’. Standard doors 12’ and under do not use a reinforcing fin. Usage on doors 12’2” to 14’ wide depends upon glass weight. WindCode® doors may vary.
  • A patented Safe-T-Bracket® prevents serious injury that could occur if the bottom bracket were removed with the garage door closed and under tension
  • All Intellicore® insulated doors come standard with 10-ball nylon rollers and heavy-duty 14-gauge steel hinges.

Ready to design your 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.

"Let the beauty in!"

This door is beautifully designed and added so much character to our shop! It lets in the beauty and light from the surrounding property while not compromising protection. Even in the hot summer months and freezing winter temps, our shop temps remain at a standard garage range for temperature. Ours is very tall but operates very smoothly.

"The perfect glass panel garage door!"

Our Avante Door is a work of Art! We are using the door to separate an outdoor pool area from a California room type space and it works perfectly to connect the two spaces even when it is closed because of its clear glass panels. The finish on on the metal frame is really nice and we were even able to order the door with impact glass, being in a hurricane area.

"Super pretty doors"

We couldn’t be happier with these doors, we had found CloPlay while searching for this style and selected a vendor from their approved contractors directory. They did a fantastic job at a very reasonable rate.

"Thank goodness for Clopay!"

We installed the insulated anodized bronze aluminum doors with full view clear glass. These are hands down the best doors we could have purchased. We were looking for doors to match/complement our anodized bronze commercial store front windows. Clopay Avanté series was a perfect match.
