Cedar Bamford Garage Door Timber Cedar Timber Sectional Doors

Cedar Bamford – Refined Vertical Styling

The Bamford offers a pure, uninterrupted vertical boarded design that creates a subtle, sophisticated texture across the face of the garage. Constructed from premium Western Red Cedar, the vertical boards highlight the timber's rich, multi-tonal grain, ranging from pale amber to deep reddish-brown, ensuring no two doors are ever exactly alike.

This model is particularly effective for period properties where a "stable door" or "carriage house" look is desired but with the convenience of modern sectional mechanics. The panels lift vertically and park neatly overhead, preserving valuable space on the driveway and inside the garage, while the timber's natural insulating properties help regulate the internal temperature. Hand-built in the UK from kiln-dried certified cedar, the Bamford combines refined aesthetics with practical performance and the smooth operation of contemporary sectional engineering.

Cedar Timber Sectional Door Colour Options

Enhance the natural beauty of your handmade timber door with our professional factory finishing service. Using premium Remmers coatings from Germany, our multi-coat system provides a durable, satin-finish barrier against the elements, significantly extending maintenance intervals compared to site-applied stains.

Why Choose Factory Finishing?

✓ Long-Lasting Protection: The industrial application ensures deep penetration and a consistent seal, offering up to 5 years of erosion resistance before recoating is typically required.

✓ Weather Resistance: Protects against UV degradation, water ingress, and fungal attack from day one.

✓ Superior Finish: A smooth, furniture-grade satin finish that highlights the timber grain (on translucent stains) or provides a flawless solid colour (on opaque finishes).

✓ Stability: Opaque finished doors may utilise high-performance Tricoya composite panels in place of solid cedar boards to eliminate natural movement and prevent paint cracking.
