All About Wood Garage Doors

Wood garage doors are one of the most popular garage door types because of their distinct, traditional beauty. Wood garage doors have become less popular over the past few decades as other garage door materials have been able to closely duplicate the look of natural wood. Garage doors made out of fiberglass look so much like wood that some cannot even tell them apart form real wood.

There are some major disadvantages to wood doors which, depending on your personal needs, may or may not seem to be so much of a disadvantage. Some of the disadvantages include lots of maintenance. Wood garage doors, as with most wood products that are exposed to the outdoor elements, end up cracking, expanding, warping and contracting. Because of this, the door needs to be repainted and or refinished about every other year.
