Cedar Door Timber Garage Doors

Cedar Door – the timber is sourced from sustainable forests.

Cedar’s Natural Durability and Stability.

• Western Red Cedar contains natural oils that naturally preserve the wood, making it resistant to insect attack and fungal decay.
• Cedar is the preferred timber for most outdoor timber applications including quality patio decking, garden furniture, roof shingles and the external cladding of buildings.
• Indoor use in bathrooms and saunas bear witness to cedar’s natural durability.
• As important as durability, dimensional stability is very important when making a large timber product. Cedar does not shrink and expand, warp, twist or cup anywhere near as much as timbers like Oak. Minimal dimensional movement makes cedar ideal for garage doors.

The Traditional and the Sherwood range.

• The Traditional range of doors that consists of Traditional Boarded and Traditional Panelled
• The Sherwood range of doors

Traditional Boarded and Traditional Panelled Solid Cedar Doors.

• Traditional mortice and tenon joints, glued and wedged, are used to join the solid cedar stiles and rails, which make up the main door panel.
• The infill boarding is approximately 14mm thick tongue and groove V-jointed.
• On the doors which feature raised and fielded solid timber panels, the panel thickness is approximately 18mm thick.
• All models of door featuring large flat panels are constructed in the same way, except that the panels themselves are made from 9mm exterior grade plywood with a cedar veneer facing.
• Only on wide doors are galvanized steel bracings fixed to the rear of the panel to minimize bowing of the door in the open position.

• Available in sizes from 5ft (1524mm) to 18ft (5487mm) wide and 5ft 6in (1676mm) to 8ft (2438mm) high.
• The CE approved counterbalance gear included with your Cedar Door can be canopy or retractable. Retractable gear is used on all doors over 8ft wide, or if the door is to be automated.
• Most Cedar Doors are fitted with an automation kit, with customers generally specifying that the door comes without a handle.
• Black T handles and a manual latching kit can be provided at no extra cost, if the door is to be manual. Feature handles in Brass, Chrome, Black etc., are also available at little extra cost.
• All doors come with a dip coat applied basecoat for temporary transit protection. This can be upgraded to factory applied fully finishing in any of the colours shown below, or any RAL or BS colour you care to specify.

• If the door is purchased in basecoat, it must be top coated prior to installation or immediately afterwards. Please see warranty details on product page.
• This finish can also be applied to a choice of cedar, softwood or hardwood frames.
• Cedar frames are not recommended on doors over approximately 9ft wide simply because the soft cedar will struggle to hold the weight of the door through the fixings.
• Glazed Cedar Doors have 4mm thick toughened glass in clear or stippled.
• Other makes have Perspex windows only, with some offering a glass upgrade.
• Square or diamond leaded light can be chosen on most glazed designs, if required.

Sherwood Cedar Door range.

• All the standard features of the traditional range apply, including made-to-measure, basecoated with option of fully finished, canopy or retractable gear and matching frames in softwood, hardwood or cedar.
• The main difference is that the door panel is manufactured using a black powdercoated aluminium perimeter chassis, with gusseted galvanized horizontal bracings.
• Very strong and slightly cheaper in price than the equivalent model of door in the traditional range, but approximately 10mm of the black metal edge does show all round the edge of the door.
• All glazing is Perspex in the Sherwood range.
• Door sizes available from 7ft (2134mm) to 16ft (4877mm) wide and 6ft 2in (1880mm) to 8ft (2438mm) high.
