Garage Door Trend: Faux Wood, Real Beauty

by Lauren Busser, The House Designers’ Editorial Director

Do you love the look of wood but don’t want the upkeep that a wood door requires? Thanks to a decade of innovations in manufacturing and material technology, garage doors now have a higher level of energy efficiency, durability, and design. The result is a wide array of new garage door options that are not just fashionable, but functional, too.

Clopay Garage Door Gallery Collection

The Gallery® Collection from Clopay® Garage Doors takes iconic raised panel steel garage doors and gives them a vintage feel. This collection is available in a wide variety of colors, including Clopay’s® exclusive Ultra-Grain® faux woodgrain paint finish.

Not only have these advances led to more energy-efficient products, but they have also increased the number of finish options available. For example, the use of faux wood is a trend we have been seeing in garage doors recently.

Clopay® Garage Doors has a number of residential options that combine the flexibility of wood with the low-maintenance durability and energy efficiency of insulated steel. Depending on the model, the surface is painted or stained, so you can choose from a variety of customizable looks and colors to fit any home style and budget.

Closet Garage Doors Canyon Ridge Collection Ultra-Grain Series

The Canyon Ridge® Collection Ultra-Grain® Series is a collection of insulated steel carriage house garage doors with faux wood overlays.

The Canyon Ridge® Collection

The Canyon Ridge® Collection Limited Edition Series is a line of insulated garage doors constructed from a durable, low-maintenance composite polymer that won’t rot, warp, or crack.

The material is molded from actual wood pieces in order to create the natural texture and intricate grains from the species it emulates. The composite cladding is attached to a polyurethane foam insulated three-layer steel base door that combines strength and durability with an impressive 20.4 R-Value.

These doors are available in three cladding species—Pecky Cypress, Clear Cypress, and Mahogany—and arrive factory-finished in a Medium, Dark, or Walnut stain. They are also available in painted white or primed for a custom finish.

You can choose a door from the Canyon Ridge® Ultra-Grain Series, but this finish is also available on the Gallery® Collection, the Modern Steel™ Collection, and the Classic™ Collection.
