What should Grays 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.
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.

Questions from Grays customers
Does a woodgrain door need varnishing?
No. It is a factory finish on steel, so it only needs washing.
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.
Do you cover Grays?
Yes. We cover Grays, including postcode districts RM16, RM17, RM18, RM20. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will Thurrock Council need to approve my new garage door?
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, ask Thurrock Council before ordering.
