Choosing a woodgrain sectional door for a home in Bedford
Which effects are popular?
Golden oak suits cottages and brick homes, darker walnut and rosewood suit stone and render, and grey-washed effects work on contemporary houses.
Why not a real timber sectional door?
Real timber sectional doors exist and look superb, but timber moves with the seasons and needs regular finishing. A woodgrain-effect steel door keeps its colour and shape with only an occasional wash.
