Clopay’s Avante Garage Door Recognized for Innovation

Easton, MD – March 2026 – First Choice Garage Doors is delighted to celebrate one of its premier manufacturing partners, Clopay, for securing the Best of IBS™ Award at the International Builders’ Show for the second consecutive year.

This year’s accolade recognizes Clopay’s innovative Avante® garage door featuring C-Power™ enabled Click-to-Conceal™ Panels, a groundbreaking development that is transforming the role of garage doors in contemporary homes.

C-Power™ technology provides electrical power directly to the moving panels of the garage door-an unprecedented platform that introduces entirely new functionalities. Its inaugural application, Click-to-Conceal™ Panels, allows the glass sections of the door to switch instantly from transparent to opaque with a simple press of a wireless remote.

This innovative feature empowers homeowners to enjoy natural light and scenic views whenever they choose while also ensuring privacy and security when required-effectively turning the garage into a versatile living or entertainment area.

“Receiving the Best of IBS award is significant because it acknowledges not just a single product, but a vision for the future,” stated Victor Weldon, President and CEO of Clopay Corporation. “Delivering power directly to the panels unlocks a realm of innovations our industry has yet to explore. Click-to-Conceal Panels is merely the start.”

The award-winning door is prominently featured in the 2026 NAHB New American Home, which was presented during the IBS and showcases the latest advancements in residential construction and design.

As a reliable installer of Clopay products, First Choice Garage Doors is thrilled to introduce these cutting-edge innovations to homeowners, builders, and commercial clients throughout Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina.
