Timber Up & Over Garage Doors

Up & Over Timber Garage Doors

There are many standard style and sizes available from most mainstream manufacturers of timber up and over doors and many will also produce purpose made sizes.

The doors are usually available with canopy or retractable operating mechanisms. Most timber up and over doors will be supplied with retractable operating gear due to the weight and requirement for remote control electric automation. We have seen an enormous increase in the requirement for more bespoke designs over the years driven in the main by a desire to reproduce the garage door in as near to the period detail as possible. This may only be for example a wider timber board size, a specific timber species or a particular glazing detail but all can be achieved for the perfect finish.

Construction

Timber up and over garage doors are generally constructed in 2 different ways - one method uses a steel box section or 'c' channel steel sub frame chassis to which the timber is then fixed and the second method is using only timber and constructing the door panel using traditional joinery methods. i.e. mortice and tenon joints, dowels, etc.

The steel chassis method offers greater flexibility in sizes and enables the use of heavier hardwoods as the timber 'cladding' does not need to be of a structural size as the strength for the door comes from the steel chassis.

Sizes

Up and over one piece garage doors are always going to be limited by their weight as they get to the larger sizes. Generally the maximum width for a timber up and over door is 16 feet wide (4877mm) and over that width you need to look at either a timber sectional or timber round the corner door system.

Hormann Timber Up & Over Garage Doors

Whatever the style of your property, traditional or modern architecture, the Hormann styles of timber doors in either panelled or tongued and grooved design, offer you the choice to find a style that will add warmth and character to your home, with or without glazing options.

The main material used for Hormann up and over doors is carefully selected cedarwood, with its finely figured grain and variation in colour. Cedarwood is the ideal timber for resistance to the very varied UK climate.

The Hormann timber door gets its overall strength from the steel box section chassis that the door panel is based upon - the 'open for infill' chassis is the basis of the entire Hormann range of up and over doors.

a timber garage door is a sensible choice as well as an aesthetic one and with the right care and attention will last for years to come.
