Wood Garage Door

Wood garage door- means a garage door made of wood to protect the vehicles inside the garage. Wood door is preferred because of its beautiful natural look, elegance, affordability and it's easy tooling rather than it's durability. Wood doors are more prone to cracks or warps, or expansion or contraction and therefore they need to be maintained regularly. Meaning that it has to be repainted or refinished every few years.

A tilt-up wood door is the most easiest to build and the most affordable type of wood door. By applying a skin of exterior plywood it can be built right in the driveway. This type of doors are called flush doors and they are quite strong, stable and affordable. 

Some sections of these roll-up doors may have panel or flush construction. By fastening a plywood panel over a wooden frame, flush sections are made. Several separate rectangular panels are fit into a wooden frame for panel doors. Panels are made from a variety of materials while the outline frame is built of fir, or some other common softwood.

Flat surfaces of plywood, hardboard or three-dimensional raised or recessed panels are the type of panels for a door that is meant to be painted. Panels that are commonly used for three-dimensional variety are wood look alikes or cladwood made from composites with resin-impregnated overlays. Most of the wood doors are warranted for only one year.

Wood doors that are meant to be stained rather than painted or appearance-grade wood doors have solid wood panel inserts. These doors may have softwood frames with oak, mahogany or other hardwood panels and body may be all cedar or redwood.

Among garage doors appearance-grade wood doors are the most expensive.
