How It’s Made: Classic™ Steel
The Classic™ Steel garage door is designed to handle daily use while looking great for years to come. You can choose from single-, double-, or triple-layer construction, with every option starting with high-quality steel for reliable strength. For insulation, pick either Intellicore® polyurethane—Clopay’s advanced foam that expands to fill the door for maximum energy efficiency and durability—or opt for solid polystyrene panels that add comfort and quiet.
The exterior steel panels are protected by a multi-layer coating system, including hot-dipped galvanizing, a special metal oxide pretreatment, and a baked-on primer and topcoat, all working together to keep rust away and the finish looking sharp. Maintenance is easy, with a replaceable vinyl bottom seal in a rust-resistant aluminum retainer blocking out water and drafts, and removable window grilles for simple cleaning.
Safety comes built in, too, thanks to the patented Safe-T-Bracket® that helps prevent injury during maintenance. Insulated models also include smooth, quiet nylon rollers and heavy-duty steel hinges, so your door works smoothly every day.

Sunset 605 (Double Door)
With the Classic™ Steel collection, you can tailor the top of your garage door, whether you want extra light, a decorative accent, or an uninterrupted look. Choose from a variety of solid top sections for a simple appearance, or get creative with decorative insert windows like Colonial, Charleston, Stockton, Madison, Prairie, and several Sunset styles. The Architectural Series offers everything from plain glass to grilles in rectangles or squares, arches, and even elegant wrought iron-inspired designs. There are also special double door top sections and unique arch window options for wider openings.
*Acrylic window designs. **Available only on 2" thick 3-Layer doors only. ***Sunset Windows not available on Ultra-Grain® doors.
You can determine the level of privacy the windows offer in your Classic™ Steel garage door with a range of specialty glass. Choose clear glass if privacy isn’t an issue and you like the idea of sunlight streaming through the windows. If you want a little more character or privacy, try seeded or rain glass. Both options add subtle patterns that blur the view while still allowing daylight to brighten your garage. Frosted and obscure glass options take privacy up a notch, gently diffusing light and keeping your space hidden from view. For a modern twist, Midnight Gray glass brings a chic, tinted look with added privacy and glamour.
With these options, you can control both the amount of light and the level of privacy in your garage, modifying your door to fit your needs. Some designs and glass types may have specific compatibility restrictions, so be sure to check which options are available for your chosen door style.
Ultra-Grain Classic Walnut Finish*
The Classic™ Steel garage door is available in a wide range of colors and finishes. Choose from classic shades like Standard White, Almond, Sandtone, Chocolate, and Desert Tan for a timeless, versatile look. For a bolder statement, select from premium colors such as Black, Bronze, Mocha Brown, Hunter Green, Gray, Charcoal, and Iron Ore. These rich colors add depth to your garage door and work beautifully with modern or traditional exteriors.
If you love the warmth of wood but want the durability of steel, the Ultra-Grain® finishes in Medium, Cherry, or Walnut offer a realistic wood-look texture without the upkeep of a traditional wood door. If you need a specific color, the ColorBlast® custom paint program lets you match nearly any color scheme, with more than 1,500 custom shades available.
Keep in mind that not all colors or finishes are available on every model, so be sure to check which options work for your chosen design.
*Available on select models. Color Blast® Custom Paint Option Available. **Promotion valid on new door purchases in the Iron Ore color; savings vary by door size and location.

Clopay Classic™ Steel Premium garage doors featuring Intellicore® insulation technology represent the ultimate smart choice for homeowners. Clopay’s Intellicore® insulation is a proprietary polyurethane foam that is injected into our Premium doors, expanding to fill the entire structure. The result is a door with incredible strength and durability. Its dense insulation also produces a quieter door, and with one of the
industry’s leading R-values of 18.4, it provides year-round comfort and improved energy efficiency.
Improve your home’s appearance and energy efficiency with a Clopay Value Plus insulated garage door. Available in 24 or 25 gauge steel with 1-5/16" polystyrene insulation, Value Plus models offer moderate insulating R-values, strength and security, as well as quiet operation and a beautiful appearance. Choose from two panel styles, many color options and a wide range of window options to create a door that fits your budget and enhances your home’s curb appeal.

Clopay’s Ultra-Grain® finish delivers the best of both worlds: the realistic look of natural wood with the low maintenance and energy efficiency benefits of insulated steel. But unlike real wood, it’s UV-resistant and impervious to moisture, so it won’t fade, rot, split, shrink or crack, saving you and the environment material, energy and resources necessary to maintain or replace door components.
A garage door can represent as much as 30% of your home’s front façade, which makes
choosing the right design especially important — and Clopay has the widest selection available.

Why did you used to list Value, Value Plus, and Premium as separate doors?
Those were older catalog names for insulation tiers of Classic™ Steel. Clopay sells one Classic Steel family. We still quote the same three comfort levels — we just show them accurately as one product now.
Should I spend more for insulation?
If the garage is attached or you park a car you care about in August, yes — step to Value Plus or Premium. If it is a detached shop, Value tier is often enough.
Can Overhead Door of America install a Classic Steel on my home?
Yes. We are an official Clopay dealer. We measure the opening, confirm wind-load needs, help you choose color and windows, and install the door with a matching LiftMaster opener when you want one.
Do these doors work in Florida heat, humidity, and storms?
Yes. We specify rust-resistant hardware, proper weather seals, and WindCode® reinforcement where required. Insulated models also help keep an attached garage more comfortable in summer.
What is a “pan door”?
“Pan door” is a garage door industry term referring to a single layer, non-insulated steel door.
What is the difference between the Elegant and the Traditional panel design?
The Elegant design has decorative panel edging and is available on Premium insulated door designs. The Traditional panel does not have this edging detail and is offered on the Value and Value Plus models.
