Why Cedar Wood?


Beautiful Timber | Great Durability | Resists Insect Attack & Decay | Weather Protection | Dimensionally Stable
 

The majority of Cedar Timber garage doors are constructed using Western Red Cedar, offering elegant period designs for various types of property. This timber is known for its exceptional beauty, richly textured woodgrain look combined with a palette of warm, mellow colourations, ranging from light amber to a deep honey brown.

It's fair to say that despite progressions within the garage door industry, to replicate the look of a timber garage door, no man-made material can truly duplicate the depths of cedar wood's natural lustre. It's subtle aroma remains for the duration of its long life span, and this characteristic fragrance adds another dimension to its universal appeal.

Cedar wood, especially Western Red, contains natural oils that act as preservatives to help the wood resist insect attack and decay. This dimensionally stable wood remains in a consistent shape, lying flat and keeping straight. All doors are hand prepared and finished to the highest standard and give full weather protection when fully furnished. When properly finished and maintained, Western Red Cedar ages gracefully and endures heavy use for many years due to its durability and stability.

Beauty aside, the purely practical pound-for-pound value of these doors against other timber offers more benefits: the cedar woods cellular structure creates interior air spaces that give it a secure level of insulation - much higher than that of most woods and much higher than brick or concrete.

Cedar wood’s natural grain and colour make it an excellent choice for many home styles. Whether you prefer a more rustic look or something modern, it is versatile enough to fit the bill perfectly.

Side Hinged Doors

The range of Side-Hinged doors are an alternative option to the Up & Over method of doors, giving a more conventional opening style of garage door. These are traditionally constructed with solid cedar stiles and rails, with panels of either plywood or solid cedar. All joints are morticed and tenoned, glued and wedged - this is why it is the strongest joint method in door construction.

Doors are available in made to measure sizes upto 6ft to 10ft wide by 5ft 6ins to 8ft high, with choice of hardware combinations to suit your style.

The Side-Hinged Cedar garage door range comprises of various models from the Up & Over range which are converted to use Side-Hinged gears.

Sectional Cedar Doors

Vertical lifitng doors are a new concept in cedar domestic garage door operation.

The Cedar Doors' range of sectional overhead doors offer all the same advantages of Up & Over doors, and are constructed to the same high standard and specifications as the traditional range of doors, but with a completely different method of operation. The tracking system takes the panel sections up and down vertically with curved tracks.

These take the individual door panels into the garage on horizontal rails, neatly sitting higher up than the opening height. Sectional doors offer greater practicality, gretaer weathersealing properties and greater overall security.

It is also possible to have a pedestrian door inset into the main garage door panel to provide easy access to the garage without opening the whole door. This door can be on the left or right hand side and can be varied in size if required depending on the garage door design shosen.

This particular garage door option proves particularly useful when there is no other entrance into the garage or the garage is accessed frequently on foot or the garage is not used for a vehicle.
