Timber sectional garage doors are readily available from four main manufacturers:
The Garage Door Centre specialises in all 4 of them for supply and installation. We can offer advice on all aspects - sizes, gear operation types, timber species and finishing treatments. A smaller but versatile range is also available in the U.K. from Cedar Doors offering a great degree of flexibility.
Sizes
Timber sectional doors are all available up to 5000mm wide and Hormann produce heights up to 3000mm high. There are many standard sizes starting from 2250mm wide and most of the doors can be made to order to fully utilise your structural garage opening. Small variations in structural opening sizes can easily be accomodated by a sectional door as they do not pass through the opening at any point during operation.
Designs
The designs available as standard are either raised and fielded panels (Georgian cassettes) or horizontal ribbed boards.
All doors will be supplied with some form of base coat preservative for final decoration on site, preferably befoe installation.
All the timber sectional door manufacturers offer a range of standard routed design patterns created from composite timber panels. Bespoke designs can be produced recreating almost any design required.
Timber Species
All the manufacturers use Nordic Spruce or Hemlock as standard but other timbers including Cedarwood, Meranti, Iroko, Mahogany and European Oak can be used for producing the doors panels. Certain restrictions may apply to certain timber types due to their weight and stability at larger sizes. Whatever requirement you have to match existing timber on your home or local planning restrictions we are sure to be able to provide the right door in the right design.
Special Designs
Timber as a material gives the option to produce almose any design in a timber sectional door. There are many standard designs but using a computer aided precision mill you can design you own style of door for your property. Draft out a design and the design will be created for you to approve or amend as necessary to create the perfect match to architectural features or individual tastes. Whatever your design requirements are we are sure to be able to help.
