What is a Faux Wood Garage Door

A faux wood or wood-look garage door is a door made of steel or aluminum that appears to be constructed from wood. Wood-look garage doors are also covered with a wood or wood composite cladding and overlays. Read on to discover how wood-look doors compare to other styles and why they’re a popular choice for residential and business owners alike.

Why Choose Faux Wood Garage Doors?

So why would you want to purchase a faux wood garage door in place of one made of real wood? The answer is nuanced, but the short answer is this: A wood-look garage door offers the beautiful wooden appearance of a genuine wooden door, but delivers the low-maintenance, practical and economic benefits of steel construction. The classic textured wood grain appearance of a faux wood door is an excellent benefit to this style. However, unlike real wood, a wood-look style garage door is moisture-resistant. It does not:

  • Warp
  • Swell
  • Split
  • Shrink
  • Separate
  • Rot

Another benefit of investing in a faux wood garage door is that it will require minimal maintenance on your part. Wood-look style garage doors are insulated, stained and pre-finished in predetermined colors. What does this mean for you? Your door will look just like new decades after installation, and you won’t have to worry about re-painting it every few years.

In addition to being highly reliable and incredibly low-maintenance, wood-look garage doors are more affordable than traditional wood.
