Timber Up & Over Doors
Timber Up & Over Doors
Timber remains a highly popular option for a garage door, bringing warmth and style to many properties. As an up and over door, it is an easy option to buy and use. The best advice is to buy it pre-finished.
The basic manual canopy or retractable doors available offer around 12 standard sizes to cover most single garage openings in the UK. Some larger intermediate sizes are available at extra cost.
When we cite a basic up and over door, we are referring to the simpler designs in standard factory colour finishes with no window options. All the up and over doors we provide are of the highest quality and manufactured to the highest standard regardless of being basic in their design.
This price range category refers to a canopy or retractable operated mechanism with a standard factory finish. It includes all the hardware required as well as a steel box section outer fixing frame to replace any timber frame used and provide a better overall operation and a 10 year guarantee.

EXTRAS:
Details such as trimming around the door frame, weather seals on the ground and upgrades on the locking will push the price up slightly.
Our basic and traditional designs generally still include a 2 point rod locking system (not cable locking), and nearly always have the strong box section steel fixing sub frame. This is to ensure continuity and the so door operates with the tightest possible tolerances.
A timber sub frame is generally used if the timber door panel is of a traditional build with joinery build methods so the timber sub frame compliments or matches the door panel exactly. It is of course also possible to clad the front of a steel sub frame for aesthetics.
Ensure you are aware of exactly what you are getting as a finished job to compare quotes like for like.

Colours and Finishes
For this price example we are referring to a standard factory finish, which is highly recommended for a more professional and fully coated final finish. Generally, there is a good choice of traditional timber finishes and all using a very high quality microporous wood stain treatment.
Be aware of the surrounding sub frame with a timber door. Whilst you can have a white or brown finished steel sub frame, with a lot of the timber door panels, many of the more traditional door panel constructions are best used with a matching timber sub frame.
Security
The basic locking on a manual timber up and over door is a 2 point steel rod and slam latch locking system with the handle locked via a euro profile cylinder. You can usually upgrade to 4 point locking for around £60 and then you have each corner covered with a latch.
Ease of Use
Being a manual door, you have to operate by hand. This involves simply grabbing the handle and turning to unlatch. The door is the lifted which is assisted by a torsion spring inside at the top of the door on canopy gear, and side springs for retractable gear.
Adjusted properly, the operation is quite easy but might be a challenge for a more frail or elderly person. This is because operation does involve bending down and taking the door panel above head height both in opening and closing.
We would usually advise to pay for the retractable operating gear on a slightly heavier door panel to give the option of an electric motor drive if required. Retractable operating gear and additional fitting time usually adds around £100.
OUR VIEW: From 35 years of experience...
We tend to find that you either love timber and have it all round your home.. or you don’t!
Good quality timber garage doors will last just as long as many other materials, or possibly longer, but the correct initial treatment and ongoing cleaning is essential. You should make sure the timber can breathe naturally, which modern stains allow, as a microporous treatment inside and out.
The real beauty of timber is unrepeatable in other materials in most cases and specified correctly in the first place will give you a first class product looking and performing well for a long time.
Many of the designs cannot be replicated in other materials. Hormann and Garador timber doors are always built in their steel sub chassis and offer a good choice of cedarwood doors at competitive prices. For other timbers look at our luxury timber doors and the Woodrite range of doors. Any scratches and small dents can be repaired easier perhaps than steel or composite doors.
