UltraClear Overhead Garage Doors

Why It Works

• Full-vision tempered glass for a premium appearance.
• High-strength aluminum frame engineered for commercial cycle counts.
• Daylight transmission improves bay working conditions.
• The go-to choice for car washes, dealerships, fire halls, and lube bays.
• Bays that need to hold heat get sealed insulated glass; bays that do not can run single pane.
• Powdercoat or anodized finishes match the door to your color theme.

How the Section Is Built

A glass door in a commercial bay has to survive the cycles, not just look good on day one. The section starts with tempered glass and builds a commercial-duty frame around it.

Engineered for the Environment

Glass Built for the Climate

Sealed insulated 5/8" tempered glass gives you maximum visibility and exceptional strength. Where insulation is not the priority, single-pane glass is available.

Commercial Aluminum Frame

Corrosion-resistant aluminum stiles with beveled rails shed moisture naturally, and a 4" heavy-duty bottom rail keeps the bottom section true through high daily cycle counts.

Panel Gasket

A flexible gasketed frame seals the glass from exterior elements and air infiltration, so the door stops weather instead of only looking good.

Brand-Matched Finish

Powdercoat or anodized finishes turn the door into part of the building's identity instead of an afterthought.

Counterbalance: How the Door Carries Its Own Weight

UltraClear doors are supplied with a torsion spring system for counterbalancing, matched to the door weight and cycle demands of the bay.

Torsion Spring System

Precise balancing for smooth manual or automated operation. High-cycle spring models and rust-resistant stainless spring wire are available for bays that run hard.

Choose it when: Every UltraClear. Tell us the daily cycle count and we will match the spring package.

Hardware Package Options

The tiers differ in one variable: how much of the load path is stainless. Read down the exposure, not down the price. Silver and up all run 3" track, stainless cable, a solid keyed torsion shaft, greaseable bearings, and Magnum rollers.

The full-stainless Platinum package and 5/8" insulated acrylic panels are available by request. Note the Bronze package runs 2" track, a hollow shaft, and galvanized cable; it belongs in retail environments, not wash bays.

Build It for Your Bay

Every door is configured to order. These are the options we quote most often.

Powder Coat & Anodized Frames

Seven stock powder coat colors plus clear and colored anodized finishes, so the frame matches the building instead of interrupting it.

Hinge Gasket Kits

Isolate stainless hinges from the aluminum frame to prevent bi-metallic corrosion in wet bays.

Specialty-Coated Shaftline

Coated drums, cones, and couplers for bays where chemistry attacks bare metal.

Insulated Acrylic Panels

A 5/8" insulated acrylic panel option is available by request as an alternative to tempered glass.

On the Job

Quoted Together

Doors, operators, and hardware are quoted as one system, because in a wash bay they fail as one.
