Clopay: The garage as a livable room
Clopay is turning heads with its C Power-enabled click-to-conceal panels from the Avante collection, a garage door system that transforms the garage into a functional living space.
The door allows users to switch between clear glass and opaque panels at the push of a button, making the garage usable as a living room, gym, or playroom. The technology is built into commercial-grade aluminum frames, concealing all wiring for a clean look.
When set to opaque, the panels also help reduce heat gain from the sun, keeping the space more comfortable. The frames are available in multiple colors and can be custom-matched to a home's exterior. In the event of a power outage, the panels remain in the opaque position.

The company also offers custom pieces for bathrooms and doors, enabling full-home customization.
