Residential garage doors are generally run-of-the-mill steel products or custom traditional styles made of wood. With its new aluminum and glass contemporary unit, Cincinnati, Ohio–based Clopay Building Products adds some flair to the mix. Described by the company as part shoji screen and part 50s-era gas station door, the Avante has a 2 1/8-inch-thick aluminum frame that can be custom painted or sealed with a clear, white, or brown finish. Numerous window options are available including clear, frosted, tinted, mirrored, wire, or laminated glass. Clopay Building Products, 800.225.6729; www.clopay.com.
