Choosing a woodgrain sectional door for a home in Swanley
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.
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.
What can you choose for your Swanley garage?
- Ribbed or cassetteWoodgrain on several panel designs.
- Matching side doorSame effect on a pedestrian door.
- Golden oakWarm mid-tone.
- Darker woodsWalnut or rosewood effects on many ranges.
