If you are building a home, adding a garage to the property or upgrading your current garage doors you really can’t go wrong with wood overhead doors. Today, most of the pre-installed garage doors you see are metal or other materials, which all have their good features as well.
However, for many different reasons, choosing wood overhead doors over other materials and options still makes the most sense. You may be surprised to find with today’s designs and manufacturing methods these doors are as energy efficient or more energy efficient than the competition and they are also better at acting as a sound barrier.
Durable and Long-Lasting
There is no reason why wood overhead doors, with just a bit of routine care and maintenance, won’t last for the life of your home. With solid, durable construction and excellent staining and sealing, these doors are weather resistant and also much less likely to crack, twist or even to dent.
You may also be surprised to find these doors will resist stains, including oil and grease, which can be a real problem on some of the other materials in pre-fabricated door options.
Custom Designed and Fitted
While there are standard sizes of wood overhead doors available, these doors can also be custom made to fit any existing size of garage door opening. For custom built homes with oversized doors or for older or historic homes with smaller than average door sizes this is an important consideration.
When doors are custom fitted to your garage they are more energy efficient and will create a secure doorway you can use for years.
Variety of Styles and Features
When choosing wood overhead doors you will immediately see the wide range of styles, designs and feature options. By narrowing down the style and wood preferences, you can then focus in on just the doors to match your garage and home.
Features include the type of hardware, the number of windows and window configuration, and the overall look of the door. Most people will also want to install a garage door opener to make door operation much easier and safer.
