Understanding the Pros & Cons of Wood Garage Doors

Long ago, wood was the choice material for garage doors as it was readily available and easy to work with to create doors. Over time, metal garage doors became a popular option, but wooden doors continued to offer some unique and beneficial features.

Today, Overhead Door Co. of Burlington proudly installs wooden garage doors throughout the region. We can equip your garage with a sturdy, reliable and beautiful new wooden door. You can relax knowing that your garage will look great and be well-protected with one of these doors.

Why You Should Consider a Wood Garage Door for Your Home

  • Durability: Wooden garage doors are made of tough wooden panels that can handle a lot of wear and tear.
  • Customization: These doors can be customized in a variety of ways to fit your specific look and needs.
  • Architectural value: Homes with wood garage doors stand out from the crowd for their unique look.
  • Natural sound barrier: Wood provides a natural sound barrier that insulates your garage.

The Cons of Wood Garage Doors

While there are many good reasons to choose a wooden garage door for your home, there can be a few drawbacks. A few things to consider when deciding on wooden garage door installation include:

  • Maintenance: They tend to require additional maintenance compared to other styles.
  • Installation cost: Wood garage doors can cost more than metal garage doors due to their higher quality materials.
  • Weather considerations: They need to be treated with stain or another protectant to ensure they can handle the elements.

Despite these considerations, wood garage doors are still a great option for any home.
