Wood Garage Doors: A Great Choice For Installation

As a homeowner, when you begin prepping for a new garage door installation, you will have many questions to answer.

Benefits of a Wood Garage Door Installation

Easily Matches Any Exterior- One benefit of wood garage doors is that with paint or a wood grain finish, they can easily match the exterior of any home. If you change your mind after a few years and want to change the color of your wood garage door, no problem! With multiple colors of stains and colors to choose from, you can find the perfect match to complement your home. 

No Rust Or Dents- Wood garage doors are incredibly durable, a great benefit when considering the effects of harsh weather conditions. Unlike steel garage doors, wood doors will not rust. Rust increases noise during operation and decreases the durability and strength of the metal hardware, which can require garage door repair. It’s also much more challenging to dent a wood garage door which can save you from needing a garage door panel replacement.

Energy Efficient- Wood is a natural insulator, so it’s no wonder that choosing a wood garage door for installation will increase your home’s energy efficiency. Additionally, adding polystyrene insulation between the layers of wood will improve energy efficiency further. Keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer with a wood garage door installation from Bearfoot Garage Doors!

Natural Beauty- Last but certainly not least is the benefit of a show-stopping, jaw-dropping, gorgeous garage door! With a wood garage door installation, you can design your door to fit any style, including carriage, traditional, or modern.

Wood Garage Door Maintenance Tips

Wood doors require regular maintenance to preserve their pristine condition. A properly applied moisture sealant is a must. Without a sealant, wood doors will absorb moisture, develop mold and mildew, and possibly even crack or buckle. Our Bearfoot team is highly trained and experienced in caring for wood garage doors. We highly recommend a yearly tune-up to extend the life of your wood garage door. During this tune-up, one of our skilled technicians will inspect your garage door system, clean the tracks and sensors, lubricate all nuts and bolts, and perform safety and door balance tests.
