What should Braintree homeowners know about woodgrain sectional doors?
How convincing is the woodgrain?
Quality foils have a grain texture as well as a printed pattern, so they look and feel convincing from the drive. Up close, they read as a finish rather than real wood.
Will the finish fade?
Good foils are UV-stable and made for outdoor use, though south-facing doors in strong sun will always weather faster than shaded ones.

Questions from Braintree customers
Can I get a real timber sectional door?
Timber sectional doors are available from some makers. We can quote, but they need regular finishing to stay in good condition.
Does a woodgrain door need varnishing?
No. It is a factory finish on steel, so it only needs washing.
Do you cover Braintree?
Yes. We cover Braintree, including postcode districts CM7, CM77. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Braintree?
Usually not. Replacing a garage door, including with an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission in England unless the house is listed, in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or has planning conditions affecting the garage. If in doubt, check with the local district or borough council.
