Oak Garage Doors
Oak Garage Doors - What You Need To Know
Oak is traditionally a very difficult timber species to manufacture garage doors with as it is extremely heavy and can be very unstable in the varying air moisture content that we have here in the U.K. However it is also a beautiful grained timber and required by many people to match existing doors, windows and other oak timber around the external house structure.
The weight of oak is the larger of the two problems as single garage doors contain 3 to 4 times the volume of timber that a front entrance door generally has and to lift it above your head in a one piece up and over panel is clearly going to be a safety issue as well as a mechanical challenge without enormous springs and oversized lifting arms. Although it is possible, the sizes are generally more restricted than with sectional or round the corner garage door systems..
We can offer Oak garage doors produced using the superb Hormann DF98 chassis system to manufacture a one piece up and over garage door panel in the UK with full CE compliance. Using various types of oak in varied designs a garage door can be produced up to about 4 metres wide maximum and a maximum height of about 2.4 metres.
The designs in the oak door range can recreate very traditional styles and are only offered in a clear base coat finish to enhance the natural beauty of the Oak graining and the warmth of the oak colour.
The oak garage doors are built using simple joinery methods combined with elements from modern up and over garage door construction offering the very latest fully retractable operating gear fully compliant with the latest CE regulations.
Engineered oak is the latest high quality material to build long lasting garage doors from. We can offer doors using this very stable version of oak and all prices are on request.
 
Some of the more popular Oak garage door designs in single width sizes
  
If you require Oak in garage doors larger than 8 feet (2438mm) wide there are 2 other superb options available - Rundum Meir round the corner and sectional garage doors or Silvelox garage doors. These doors offer a much wider and higher range of sizes. The construction is such to offer great stability and with the round the corner doors you can have either 80mm vertical boards or side sectional door panels giving a greater variation of design options with optional glazing sections. The Silvelox doors are constructed from a high quality oak veneer again for stability over greater sizes.

Bespoke designs are possible with both door types and drawings are produced prior to manufacture to ensure you get the perfect garage door design.
Both these manufacturers have tested and refined these garage door systems to perfection over the years so you can be confident in purchasing a high quality door system that will offer years of trouble free, safe operation whilst looking as good as the day they were installed.
