The Pros and Cons of a Wooden Garage Door

Wooden Garage Door | Garage Door Repair Brooklyn, NY

Many of us love the color and feel of a garage door made from natural wood. The beauty and curb appeal this material can add to your home, as well as the sturdiness it has to offer, can often outweigh the few disadvantages it presents.

The Main Benefit

Let's start with the more obvious one - the look. Wood is often considered to have a classic and aesthetic appeal. As a result, a lot of surveys suggest that the curb appeal wood can add to a home is far greater than what a door from any other material can offer.

A Few More Advantages

Wood is also a natural insulator, which means it doesn't need to have additional material installed between its panels in order to help you maintain a desired indoor air temperature inside your garage. It can also be painted in various colors, and is less likely to need the same degree of repair compared to a door made of aluminum. Another advantage wood offers is durability. Although steel is more known for its capability of sustaining damage, wood isn't a lightweight in that department. It is certainly stronger than aluminum.

The Main Downsides

The major drawback of choosing a wooden door is the price. Doors made from this material tend to cost more than ones made out of steel or aluminum. Wood also needs regular maintenance in order to remain in a good condition. It needs to be protected from various weather conditions that it will be constantly exposed to. Without regular application of protective coatings, wood can split or crack, swell and even rot.

Not All is Lost

Although a wooden door tends to require more work from its owner, many people feel that the effort is usually well worth it. Warping and other damage to your door material can be prevented by carrying out regular cleaning and repainting of the panels. A lot of different materials can help you door resist rot and other issues. Another disadvantage wood has is weight. Because it is not as light as other door materials, a new door made of this material often requires a new opener as well, as it needs a certain amount of horsepower that not all openers are capable of generating.
