Cedar York Garage Door Timber Cedar Timber Sectional Doors

The York evokes the character of traditional coach house doors with a design that typically combines solid lower panels with a feature top section. It captures the authentic, rustic charm of a working outbuilding but upgrades it with the effortless push-button operation of a modern sectional door.

The solid cedar rails and stiles are sized to give the door a heavyweight, substantial feel, while the sectional mechanism creates a complete seal around the opening to keep out leaves and draughts. Whether specified with a natural finish to weather gracefully or a factory-applied coating for pristine longevity, the York is a timeless choice for period renovations.

Sizes, Operation & Gear

Made to measure in a wide range of single and double sizes to suit most UK garages, including larger bespoke openings.

• All sectional doors are constructed with solid cedar top, middle, side and bottom rails, typically finished to around 44 mm thickness for rigidity.
• Doors over approximately 10 ft wide are reinforced with lateral timber or steel bracing to minimise deflection when the door is in the overhead position.
• Vertical lifting sectional operation maximises drive-through width and headroom compared with traditional up-and-over doors.
• HOME-X residential extension spring system as standard on most doors up to around 14'0" x 7'0" and 130 kg, for fast assembly and pre-tensioned springs.
• HOME-R rear mounted torsion springs available for heavier doors up to approximately 165 kg.
• HOME-F front mounted torsion springs offered for large or oversize doors up to around 295 kg where extra lifting capacity is required.

Timber Quality & Construction

• Hand-built in the UK from kiln dried Western Red Cedar sourced from certified, sustainably managed forests.
• Solid cedar stiles and rails joined using traditional mortice and tenon, glued and wedged joints for long-term structural strength.
• Cedar’s natural oils offer inherent resistance to decay and insect attack, ideal for exposed external locations.
• Dimensionally stable timber that lies flat and stays straight when correctly finished and maintained.
• Natural variation in colour and grain from light amber to deep honey brown ensures every door is unique.

Glazing & Design Options
