Garage doors were first fashioned out of wood and the trend continues today among those seeking a more traditional look or customized design. It doesn’t take long driving around the Wasatch Front to realize how much the warmth of a natural wood door can enhance the curb appeal of a home.

Wood is often preferred for its natural look, but it has many other BENEFITS as well, including:

• RELIABLE PERFORMANCE: Wood has proven its durability. People have been using it for garage doors for almost a century.
• CUSTOM STYLES: Wood garage doors offer a wide variety of options to match your architectural style. For example, they come in raised panels and designs that copy those commonly used on the carriage houses of the 18th and 19th centuries.
• AFFORDABILITY: Wood garage doors may look costly, but in reality they are actually reasonably priced.
• APPEARANCE: If maintained properly (painting or refinishing about every two years), wood doors can keep their beautiful appearance for a very long time.
• INSULATION: Wood is a natural insulator and should buffer the heat and cold of the garage.
• MATERIAL OPTIONS: You're not limited to just one material option when it comes to wood. You take you pick among solids such as cedar, redwood, hemlock and poplar. There are also composite materials and appearance-grade panels and doors.
