Tall and Sleek
The simplicity of this door from Clopay’s Avante collection adds an elegant flair without losing the traditional aspect of the home. The geometric pattern of the garage door lines up under the windows, visually lengthening the front.

Garage Door Au Natural

The arches of this garage door are reminiscent of the roof’s gable style, creating a distinctive look. It’s a visual experience of handmade carpentry with luxurious custom designs. And its part of Overhead Door’s EcoBuilt line, so your environmentally conscious clients will love it.

Classic, and Energy-Efficient, Too

In this custom home, the garage doors are deliberately lined up under the windows above. That play on pattern and lines ties the look together and enhances the style of the home. This energy-efficient door comes from Clopay’s Classic Line’s Premium Series.

High Quality Meets Durable

Rich wood grain embossing gives Wayne-Dalton’s 9300 garage door a beautiful, natural look. Its traditional appearance still works well with contemporary exteriors, too. For this home, the hardware and the panel style create the appearance and familiarity of an old-fashioned barn door.

It Makes the Old World Go Round

Have an Old-World, European-inspired home? A new ornamental wrought iron garage door line from Clopay could be the answer. The ornamentation can mimic the detail you gave to other parts of the home to create a cohesive look.
