Timber is definitely one of those materials that consumers perceive as premium and expect to be high quality… Matching those expectations requires time-served joinery skills and attention to detail. Using timber for garage doors means thinking long- term about the nature of the wood and how it breathes and responds to the weather. Woodrite has compiled a guide to timber garage doors and how they go about making sure timber garage doors are a lasting thing of beauty! GOOD REASON 01 The right company Founded in 2010 by joinery expert John Brooks, Woodrite’s team has over 150 years’ experience in making timber garage doors. Woodrite’s team know how to get the very best from wood and take pride in the quality of workmanship that goes into every door. GOOD REASON 02 Safe It goes without saying (you’d think), but all Woodrite doors carry the CE Mark, and have been independently tested to comply with all current safety legislation. GOOD REASON 03 The best way to make doors Selected timbers… Other manufacturers may make doors using poorly matched low grade timbers with unbalanced colours and knots and imperfections that store up trouble for the future. Woodrite selects timbers for quality and doesn’t just take the next board from the pile. They choose and mix shades, working with the wood’s natural variations to create a harmonious, balanced door. ...individually dip- treated... Other manufacturers dip treat complete doors. Woodrite know this means preservatives won’t find their way into joints. Woodrite individually dips every component in custom dipping tanks before making a door, ensuring preservatives have reached everywhere. After the door is made the basecoat of preservative has two further coats of finishing stain. ...ledges sealed... Any ledge where rainwater may sit has its joints further protected with a clear drying sealant. ...finished from every angle... Doors are even inverted to ensure full coverage and hand finished in areas that need extra attention. ...oven dried... Woodrite’s drying ovens ensure a top-quality sheen on every door, every time. GOOD REASON 04 Edge to edge timber On Woodrite doors You won’t see an exposed steel chassis detracting from the beauty of edge to edge timber. Matching frames and architraves also mean a completely coordinated finish, no metal frame to draw the eye...
