New Garage Door Styles for Your Next Build or Remodel
Aug 2023
If you want a garage door that’s all about uninterrupted views and modern style, the Avante® Sleek is in a class of its own. The design puts wide, horizontal glass panels front and center, with barely-there vertical supports that maximize your sightlines and flood your garage with natural light. No chunky frames, no distractions—just a sleek, open feel that instantly upgrades your home’s curb appeal.
What really sets the Avante® Sleek apart is how much you can make it your own. Choose from clear, tinted, mirrored, or obscure glass to control the amount of light and privacy you want. You can even add solid aluminum panels in the same color as the frame for a totally custom look. And with a range of finishes and hardware, it’s easy to find a combination that fits your style. If you’re ready for a garage door that’s as striking as it is practical, the Avante® Sleek is tough to beat.
The Avante® Sleek is crafted from tough, 2-1/8" commercial-grade aluminum that won’t rust or warp, so you get lasting strength with a refined look.
Choose from clear, frosted, tinted, or obscure tempered glass—or even acrylic panels—to let in as much light (and privacy) as you want.
Pick from classic anodized or painted finishes, go bold with powder-coat colors, or match your home perfectly with over 1,500 Color Blast® options.
Select models include Intellicore® polyurethane insulation and insulated glass to help keep your garage more comfortable, year-round.
Ask about our WindCode® reinforcement to meet code in high-wind areas.

The Avante® Sleek garage door is built to look great and stand the test of time. Its frame is made from commercial-grade aluminum, so it’s naturally rust-resistant and practically maintenance-free—just an occasional rinse keeps it looking fresh.
For added comfort, select models feature Intellicore® polyurethane insulation in the rails and stiles, helping keep your garage quieter and more comfortable. Every panel is joined with a weather-sealing section joint, so rain and wind stay outside where they belong. Also, an integral reinforcing fin adds extra strength and stability on wider doors.
You can choose from a wide variety of glass or acrylic panel options to get the perfect combination of light, privacy, and style for your home.
With the Avante® Sleek, you can really make your garage door your own. Pick from a wide range of glass and acrylic options—everything from crystal-clear panels for maximum daylight, to tinted, frosted, mirrored, or bold black finishes for added privacy and curb appeal. Prefer a softer glow or extra privacy? Laminate panels in gray, bronze, black, or white filter the light beautifully.
Most glass selections are available in your choice of single pane or insulated construction for better energy efficiency. (Note: laminated and mirrored glass options are only available as single pane.) Want something totally unique? Custom glass and color options are also available.
Depending on the door model and height, single car doors up to 10’2” wide have no center stile; double doors have one center stile; and doors up to 22’2” wide have two equally spaced vertical stiles.

The Avante® Sleek lets you choose a finish that fits your style, whether you want something classic or bold. Go for the clean, modern look of Clear Aluminum (anodized), Standard White, rich Chocolate, or one of several shades of Bronze and Black, available in both anodized and painted finishes. If you love the look of bronze but want a consistent color throughout, the Bronze (painted) option is your best bet.
You can also customize your door with Clopay’s Color Blast® paint system or RAL powder coat finishes—over 1,500 colors available. These finishes are designed to stand up to the elements and keep your door looking sharp for years.

Optional Aluminum Grip Handle
The Avante® Sleek keeps things streamlined, right down to the hardware. Every door comes with the option to add sleek, color-matched aluminum grip handles that blend perfectly with your chosen frame color. These handles are built for comfort and easy use, making it simple to open and close your door every day.
A departure from the grid-like pattern of standard aluminum and glass garage doors, the new Avante Sleek model features slim horizontal glass windows and minimal vertical stiles for broad unobstructed views. If you’re in search of a garage door with a minimalist frame design that gives off “panoramic vibes” and lets in plenty of daylight, this is it. Customize the door in a number of painted or anodized finishes and glazing options.
A garage door can represent as much as 30% of your home’s front façade, which makes choosing the right design especially important — and Clopay has the widest selection available.
All of our Elite, Authorized, Master Authorized and Advanced Authorized Dealers offer a minimum 1 Year installation warranty on Clopay replacement doors.
Both the Avante and Avante Sleek are modern glass garage doors with aluminum frames. The Avante frame has a grid pattern formed by stiles and rails with rectangular windows. The Sleek model has minimal to no center stiles and the windows are narrow horizontal rectangles that give “panoramic vibes."
Single car doors up to 10’2” wide have no center stile; double doors have one center stile; and doors up to 22’2” wide have two equally spaced vertical stiles.
The Avante® Sleek is the star of the show when it comes to contemporary, mid-century modern, and industrial-style homes, thanks to its clean lines and minimalist frame. It pairs beautifully with modern architecture, adding a glass-forward look that plays well with large windows and open spaces. You’ll also find it’s a great fit for urban lofts, townhomes, and even updated ranches or split-levels—anywhere you want to boost curb appeal with a touch of sophistication. Its customizable finishes and glass options help it blend seamlessly with bold exteriors or subtle, neutral palettes. If your home features geometric shapes, mixed materials, or a streamlined facade, the Avante® Sleek will elevate your entry and tie the whole look together.
I added two of these doors to my barn and could not be happier with how this project turned out. I utilized the clear glass option given the privacy I have on my property and love the warm glow of the garage lights as I come around the driveway in the evenings. The powder coated hardware is an awesome touch, as it does not detract from the overall look of the doors when in the garage. Could not be happier.
