Bespoke Timber Garage Doors

Timber is such a versatile material and therefore offers the greatest potential for almost any shape or style using various joinery methods, different timber species and glazing options.
The greatest versatility in design options comes from the side hinged or up and over doors as they are solid, one piece panels rather than split into sections like the other mechanisms.
It is possible however with a timber sectional door to have a routed design in the door face using composite timber panels.  See the 2 examples below:

The large double timber sectional door design below is another routed design and this time in a very modern style with nice clean lines and no handle

Another option which is popular with some of the very modern homes designed these days is to incorporate materials matching other parts of the project. Sectional doors using a mixture of commercial operating gear and adpated panels enable a door to be cretaed with panels able to be projected and line up with the rest of the building material and appear to be almost invisible. The example below shows timber cladding on the sectional door matching the surroundings

When it comes to one piece up and over garage doors you can make almost any style of door using a choice of chassis systems already manufactured and tested with all the operating mechanism ready to go. The 'open for infill' principle is tried and tested and because you are not relying on the timber for the structural strength of the panel more designs are possible.

Oak Garage Doors

Oak Veneer: Generally durable, but can be prone to chipping or peeling if damaged. Cannot be easily repaired or refinished. Solid Oak: Extremely durable and can last for generations. Can be sanded and refinished multiple times.

For many homeowners, investing in solid oak products is well worth the higher price. The durability and timeless beauty of real oak ages wonderfully.

‘Solid oak’ is timber cut directly from oak trees to be used for furniture, doors, flooring, and other building products. The term "solid oak" refers to wood pieces that are made entirely of oak, rather than being made from cheaper woods and covered with an oak veneer, which can be quite effective when new but does not last like real oak and cannot easily be repaired if damaged. Real oak can be refinished and repaired time and time again.

Solid oak contains the natural grains, textures, and markings of real oak wood throughout the full thickness of the boards used to make very solid garage door panels. It does not have a wooden core made of other woods or plywood with an oak surface layer. The dense, durable oak extends all the way through and does make the door very heavy, only balanced by heavy duty mechanisms and best when electrically operated.
