Woodgrain and timber-effect sectional garage doors: what matters for South Ockendon garages
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.
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.
What can you choose for your South Ockendon garage?
- Darker woodsWalnut or rosewood effects on many ranges.
- Ribbed or cassetteWoodgrain on several panel designs.
- Golden oakWarm mid-tone.
- Matching side doorSame effect on a pedestrian door.
