With a timeless, natural appeal, wood is an aesthetic asset that can increase the curb appeal of any home. In this blog from Larry Myers Garage Doors, you can discover some of the top pros and cons of installing a wood garage door.
One of the major benefits of wood is that it is by far the easiest garage door material to customize. It’s stylistically and mechanically versatile and can be manipulated to fit various styles, from a timeless swing carriage garage door to a modern wood roll-up garage door. It’s also easy and inexpensive to refresh in the future by changing the color of the garage door.
Because wood is pliable, and thus easy-to-customize, it is ideal for homes with non-level flooring. In addition, it is a natural sound barrier and provides exceptional temperature control. If damage were to occur, wood garage door panel replacements are much easier than other paneled garage doors replacements, which require you to replace full panels.
Because wood is a natural material, it requires regular maintenance to avoid problems such as rotting and discoloration. It’s also one of the heaviest materials available and will need proper support from garage door springs and a compatible garage door opener.
Wood garage doors are typically custom-made, so they are not readily available for purchase like standard doors. However, Larry Myers Garage Doors offers construction timeframes so you can know what to expect when investing in a new door.
