Benefits of Faux Wood Garage Doors

Looking for a classy, renewed look for your home’s exterior? Consider upgrading to a faux wood door or including one as part of your home renovation project. Faux wood garage doors look like genuine wood, but are actually made of steel.  That way, you get all of the gorgeous texture and look of wood without having to deal with the maintenance and upkeep that comes with real wood garage doors.

If you are split between wanting the look and luxury of a wood door, but don’t have the budget or time for the upkeep of wood, then a faux wooden door is your answer.

Genuine wood doors are notoriously difficult to maintain because they need regular maintenance including a new coat of paint or stain and sanding. You’ll have to keep an eye on warping, cracks, rot or at the very least color fading as well.

Let’s take a look at a more reasonable solution that achieves the look of a wood garage door without breaking the bank.

Benefits of a Faux Wooden Garage Door

Durability

Amarr’s doors are made with steel or aluminum and are able to maintain their integrity through harsh storms, particularly wet seasons and severe weather. In the summertime, steel doors can withstand humidity and extreme meteorological conditions, making them a great choice no matter where you live. Faux wood doors will easily keep your home safe and comfortable.

Pest Free

As long as you maintain the balance and mechanics of your steel wood-like door, you won’t have to worry about pests entering your home through your garage. With a wood door, it’s not uncommon for rodents to chew through small corners of a garage.

Easy Maintenance

Faux wood doors are insulated and made of steel meaning they’re easy to maintain. You won’t have to worry about moisture seeping into your garage unlike if it were a wood door. Furthermore, surface-level maintenance is fairly easy and straightforward. After a freezing, salted winter, for example, you’ll only have to hose off the door or grab a sponge and soap to spruce up the appearance.

Increased Curb Appeal

A garage door has an incredible cost-to-value ratio and can help improve the look of your home. If you’re in the market for a new home or just want to spruce up your exterior, a faux wood door can perform all of the magic of a real wood door for likely a quarter of the price.

Deciding on the Right Garage Door

A faux wood garage door doesn’t have to have your average, run-of-the-mill look. You can customize faux wood garage doors in the same way as any other door from Amarr. We offer a wide variety of beautiful wood colors from Walnut and Golden Oak to Mahogany. Or if you have decided the wood look just isn’t your thing, you can choose from a number of other door colors.

For design inspiration, pull from the natural colors of your surrounding landscape such as brown or deep green. Depending on your style, you have endless color choices to choose from within with the Amarr Color Zone selections.

Adding windows to your door can invite some natural light into your home as well. Amarr windows are just as strong as the rest of the door so you don’t have to worry about breakage, even after years of use.

Our custom wood garage door features allow you to make it as unique and as you’d like. With Amarr, the sky’s the limit.
