Clopay Corporation’s VertiStack™ Clear stacking sectional door is redefining industry standards with its cutting-edge technology and imaginative design. 

The garage door industry is experiencing a surge in growth, projected to reach an estimated $7.38 billion by 2024. This surge is driven by both product innovation and the advancement of smart technology. Concurrently, sectors like tourism, foodservice, and hospitality are also on the rise, fueling a demand for commercial doors that not only deliver on state-of-the-art performance, but also offer a sleek and modern look.

In response to the evolving landscape of commercial building design, which is increasingly favoring minimalism and natural light, industries like restaurants, retail and education are demanding garage doors that easily convert buildings to indoor-outdoor spaces while optimizing space. 

Clopay Corporation’s strategic marketing team recognized the need for a sectional door with a compact design, which led their engineers to develop a clever solution. They created VertiStack™ Clear, a sectional garage door with the footprint of a rolling steel door and a unique stacking mechanism for efficient storage of door sections.

Explaining VertiStack’s design, Jim Janick, New Product Development Engineer, highlights, "There’s no gears or timing or anything that dictates when the sections come apart and how they go into what we call a ‘magazine’ in the top where the sections are stacked and stored. So, all of that was done with geometry and only one moving part." Similarly, Tom Balay, Custom Projects Engineer, adds, "You have sections coming out of nowhere when this door is closing. Typically, you look above an opening and you see a rolling door or a sectional door. And, with this it’s different because you have sections coming out of a storage area and all of a sudden there’s a door in front of you."

Clopay Corporation's stacking sectional door is a game-changer for commercial architects, designers, and general contractors who prioritize both aesthetics and functionality. With its trailblazing design, it has made a big impact on the commercial construction market and is poised to continue revolutionizing the industry.
