Smooth-Functioning
Let’s address this first … convenience is EVERYTHING. With all of the technology that the world has to offer, it is important to have a product that functions properly and smoothly. Thanks to Clopay’s Coachman Collection, steel carriage doors are crafted to look like old-fashioned swinging doors but with the modern-day amenity of the automatic lift. It is the perfect blend of beauty and practicality, appearing as a textured wooden door, but in fact, is made up of durable low-maintenance steel. It’s time to trade in your old, rusty inconvenience for new and innovative technology.
Insulation
Have you dreamed of transforming your garage into an extra space where you and friends can hangout, play billiards, and watch sports games? We sure have! However, people often run into one problem: weather conditions. Being inside the garage means dealing with unwanted circumstances; it is either unbearably cold in the winter or awfully humid in the summer. Just the thought of running through to get into the car is dreadful. Whether you have created additional garage space or not, we encourage you to invest in an insulated garage door. Clopay’s Gallery Collection is comprised of steel carriage insulated doors that will provide extra comfort no matter the circumstance. Not only is the functionality of insulated doors practical, but this collection provides a vast assortment of designs including window and wrought iron hardware, unique color choices, and faux woodgrain paint finish.
Low Maintenance
The natural beauty of a wood door is eye-catching and highly sought after. However, natural wood can lose its unique detailing throughout the years with exposure to sun, rain, snow and other outdoor elements. Thankfully, with Clopay’s Canyon Ridge Collection, you can maintain the rustic look of a wooden door without the hassle. This faux wood door is manufactured to reveal the array of color and texture that you love in natural wood but is composed of durable material that won’t deteriorate from outdoor matters.
Translucent
The garage door that has all the perks of glass, without all your belongings being completely exposed! Translucent doors are a great way to add personality to your home’s facade. They provide a sleek and open appearance, giving the street-view of your home a welcoming and “homey” feel that is cohesive. The best part? At night it displays a beautiful warm glow and during the day it allows natural light to enter indoors. Check out Clopay’s AVANTE Collection to view the entire range of door panels available.
