Wooden Door Types
Mahogany
Mahogany combines both durability and beauty in a single package that is suitable for any home, including the luxurious homes. Working with it is very easy, and it can hold decorative cuts very well. Its rigidity and strength are what mahogany is known for. It can, therefore, be used to create door panels that are very large without the risks of it splitting, sagging, or warping. It is also in a natural way resistant to insects and moisture.
Cedar
It is also a very popular wood in the making of garage doors. Similar to mahogany, it is also a strong wood type with a strong resistance to damage that may be caused by insects or moisture. It can withstand almost any weather and remains firm during conditions such as high temperature and humidity and remain in the same physical condition. Warping or cracking is not a problem when it comes to cedar as it is naturally resistant to the factors that promote them.
Redwood
It is a combination of different wood to come up with one strong wood of several layers. It is, therefore, safe from the effects of heat and water that may warp it. Painting of the wood is possible.
Reclaimed wood
Its popularity has been greatly increasing because it creates unique doors. Its major advantage is that to get it. No wood has to be cut down, therefore, protecting the environment.
Plywood
It is probably the cheapest wooden garage door there is. It sometimes comes with a hardwood skin on the exterior to better its outward appearance. Because of the fact that it is thin, it sometimes has to be insulated with a layer of foam core.
