Wooden garage doors

Wooden garage doors

Garages house some expensive items and need as much security as our homes. Therefore, it’s important to have a garage door that will provide strength and durability. Not only this; but a touch of class will transform its look.

Garages aren’t simply used to house our cars anymore and often homeowners use them as a gym, a den for children or even as extra storage space for boxes, tools and other household items.

And many older designs are damp, with rotting doors and unattractive looks. Particularly if your garage is attached to your home, it’s something you should definitely consider replacing.

Benefits of wooden garage doors

There’s no denying, wooden garage doors look fantastic. They bring a wealth of aesthetic appeal that simply can’t be matched by the traditional steel doors.

• Wooden doors are most often designed specially to suit the style of the home they’ll be serving. Victorian and Colonial style properties benefit the most from a wooden garage door, but they still bring appeal to every home.

• There are many styles and designs available too, including the carriage style which tends to be the most popular.

• Maintenance will be necessary to keep them in their ‘like new’ state, and painting or staining will protect the wood from the elements. If neglected, wooden garage doors can splinter or crack over time, destroying the effect they have on your home.

Wooden garage door types

Wooden garage door styles are usually split into three categories; one, two or three layers. The traditional look would be a single layer type. This is by far the most popular and least expensive too.

Two layer garage doors offer more in the way of insulation and are a step-up in energy efficiency. This type is most suitable for garages attached to your property and used for parking.

Three layered wooden garage doors create a sandwich effect with insulation surrounded by a wooden exterior and interior. As you would expect it’s the most expensive construction type, but is also the most energy efficient.
