THAT'S WHAT GARAGE DOORS ARE ALL ABOUT!

Like all Novoferm garage doors, the timber-look garage doors also offer efficient burglary protection, good thermal insulation, quiet operation and an automatic operator on request.

Here you can find out everything about the materials used, whether you can clad an old garage door with wood and how to properly maintain a wood-effect roller garage door. Let us convince you of the advantages of garage doors with timber panelling and enhance your home with the right garage door!

WHAT IS A WOOD-LOOK GARAGE DOOR?

A timber-look garage door is either made of solid wood or it is a timber-look garage door that looks like real wood. Garage doors with wooden panelling are the perfect complement to wooden houses, old buildings or half-timbered houses where a lot of wood has been used.

However, modern architecture also utilises wood as a natural material in many buildings to enable sustainable construction. Roller shutters with a wooden look or another garage door with wooden panelling are the perfect complement to your property. When renovating, you can clad the old garage door with wood without spoiling the overall impression.

DO I HAVE TO MAINTAIN WOOD-LOOK GARAGE DOORS?


If you opt for a solid wood door, it is important to treat the wood with a glaze before installation. This will give your garage door with timber panelling optimum protection against dirt, moisture and UV rays. The solid timber garage doors are already treated with a colourless primer against blue rot and pests at the factory. You can choose the additional wood stain as a pigmented top coat in various colours. In this way, the sectional door or roller door in a timber look blends in with the rest of the house and forms a harmonious unit.

Novoferm garage doors with painted surfaces are also available as timber-look garage doors in the colours Golden Oak, Dark Oak, Winchester and Night Oak. These doors have a high-quality final coating that is easy to clean and only needs to be wiped clean with a soft cloth in the event of heavy soiling.
