Wood garage doors add warmth and sophistication to the facade of your home, yet require routine upkeep in order to stay protected against weathering and damage.
Faux wood doors may offer the ideal solution to save on costs and reduce upkeep hassle. Constructed from composite overlays molded from real wood, faux doors feature steel garage door bases attached with these composite overlays for easier maintenance.

Their resilient construction helps them last for much longer while still looking beautiful.
