Slate by Modern Decor - Aluminum Composite (ACM) Garage Door
Modern Decor Slate — ALPOLIC aluminium composite panels, routed and folded, standing 5/8" proud of an insulated steel door. Equal ACM panels, four identical rows — the quietest way to wear aluminium composite.
Need a different size? We build to your opening, to the inch — other widths (10, 12, 14 and 18 ft) and heights (6′6″, 6′9″ and more) are available to order; ask for a quote.
How to measure
Headroom is the space between the top of the finished opening and the ceiling — or, if something hangs lower, the space to that: a pipe, a beam, a light, the opener rail. Measure at the tightest point across the whole opening.
Two more numbers help us confirm the fit: side room, from each side of the opening to the wall (about 5″ each side for a standard track), and backroom, the depth straight back into the garage (your door height plus about 18″).
Enter your headroom to see which tracks fit.

The Slate is our ACM flush design. Equal ACM panels, four identical rows — the quietest way to wear aluminium composite.
- Cladding: 4 mm ALPOLIC aluminium composite, routed and folded, 5/8" proud of the door face
- Base door: insulated steel, R-10.25 or R-17.65
- Colors: BLX Black, MRO Anthracite Grey, Mica Grey, BSX Metallic Silver, SAW White
- Glass: 3 mm dark tint, recessed to the base plane
- Sizes: 8x7, 8x8, 9x7, 9x8, 16x7, 16x8 — every design in every size
- Includes the heavy-duty hardware upgrade the added panel weight requires
Panel widths are not always equal — the layout is composed for the proportion of the door, not forced to a grid.
This door is a finished insulated steel sectional door with one more layer on its face. The layer is what you see; the door underneath is a complete door.
The door underneath
- R-10.25 — steel, an expanded polystyrene core, steel.
- R-17.65 — steel, an injected polyurethane core, steel.
An aluminium composite panel on top
Here the layer is an aluminium composite panel (ACM) instead of steel: 4 mm panels, routed and folded, standing 5/8" proud of the door face.
It is a layer laid onto a finished door, not a different door — which is why the four section joints still read the way they do on any sectional door, and why the pattern is a real composition in a real material rather than a print.
Glass sits inside the panel, recessed to the door's own plane, and the opening goes through the door behind it.

Slate — the flush ACM door
Equal ACM panels, four identical rows — the quietest way to wear aluminium composite. There is no glass and no offset: the finish, and the shadow line of the reveal between panels, carry the whole door.

How an ACM door is built
An ACM door starts as a real insulated steel sectional door and is clad in 4 mm ALPOLIC aluminium composite. Every face is routed and folded from a single sheet, so the panel you see has no applied edge trim, and it stands 5/8″ proud of the door face. The leaf is four sections of 2″ thickness, and the section joints stay visible as they do on any sectional door — the pattern is applied to a door, not printed on a slab.
Base door and insulation
- Base: insulated steel sectional door, R-10.25 or R-17.65.
- Hardware: the heavy-duty hardware upgrade the added panel weight requires is included.
- Sections: four per door — 21″ on a 7-ft door, 24″ on an 8-ft door.
Colors
ACM is its own finish family: composite is never finished in the woodgrain steel colors, and steel is never finished in the composite ones. On the two hybrid doors — the Duet and the Wood Band — both materials sit on the same leaf, and each keeps its own palette.
- BLX Black
- MRO Anthracite Grey
- Mica Grey
- BSX Metallic Silver
- SAW White
Glass
Glazed ACM designs use 3 mm dark tint glass, recessed to the base plane so the ACM stays the outermost surface. Panes are used at their stock cut sizes and are never re-cut to fit a layout — where a width will not divide exactly, the design absorbs it in the ACM, not in the glass.
Panel gaps and proportion
The reveal between panels runs 3/8″, 1/2″, 3/4″ or 1″. It is chosen by the layout for the proportion of your door rather than offered as a separate choice, which is also why panel widths within a design are not always equal.
Sizes
8×7, 8×8, 9×7, 9×8, 16×7 and 16×8. Every repeating ACM design — Slate, Staggered, Cadence, Gradia, Meridian, Linea, Mirage — is offered in all six, and so are the Onyx in both of its pane arrangements and the two hybrids, the Duet and the Wood Band. Only the Half View lists its own sizes under Model Specifications instead: its bays are 16-ft.

Installation
Every Modern Decor garage door can be installed by our own crews. Installation is quoted separately and is never included in a listed price — the price on this page is for the door as configured, and your written quote itemises the rest.
Sold and installed by Modern Decor Supply LLC, NJ Home Improvement Contractor Reg. #13VH13488900, from our Hackensack, NJ showroom — serving New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut.
Before you order
- Measure the opening, not the old door. The How to Measure Garage Opening tab shows exactly what to measure.
- Check your headroom and jambs. Track and headroom options — standard radius, low-headroom, high-lift, vertical-lift and follow-the-roof-pitch — are chosen in the configurator above, and each option states the headroom it needs.
- Decide on the opener while you are there: motors, keypads and remotes are all quoted with the door.
Lead time
These doors are made to order. The production time for your exact configuration is confirmed in writing with your quote — ask us and we will tell you what we are running the week you order, rather than publishing a number that drifts.
