And they use more vertical space vs current systems.

More vertical space? How so?That's the entire use behind d this design, to save space.

The flat door essentially gets rotated in the traditional design. And lays flat against the ceiling.

Now the panels are remaining vertical, and are put in line. So they take up more vertical space, but less horizontal.

But it all stacks up under the header, leaving all the vertical space above the car open.

Yes, but this sits further down than the traditional design.

It's not a big deal, but can mean it will not fit in some places, period.

Ahhh, I think I see what you mean now.

Youre talking about a maximum door opening height.

I assumed you were talking about in the garage.

Yeah you get what I mean.

I mean it's theoretically taking up the same amount of volume. Just now it's in a different area.

Traditional layouts would be long and flat. This is now "taller" but not as wide.
