Garage Door Types » Timber Garage Doors » Oak Garage Doors
Oak is traditionally a very difficult timber species to manufacture garage doors with as it is extremely heavy and can be very unstable in the varying air moisture content that we have here in the U.K.
The weight is the larger of the two problems as single garage doors contain 3 to 4 times the volume of timber that a front entrance door generally has and to lift it above your head in a one piece up and over panel is clearly going to be a safety issue as well as a mechanical challenge without enormous springs and oversized lifting armsOak garage doors from Cardale doors. Although it is possible the sizes are generally restricted.


Cardale are currently the only manufacturer to produce a range of traditional Oak one piece up and over garage door panels in the UK with full CE compliance. Produced from stable engineered European Oak they offer a consistent high quality oak door range with standard or purpose made sizes up to 2438mm (8 feet) wide.

The designs in the door range recreate very traditional styles and are only offered in a clear finish to enhance the natural beauty of the Oak graining and the warmth of the oak colour.

The garage doors are built using traditional joinery methods combined with elements from modern up and over garage door construction offering the very latest fully retractable operating gear fully compliant with the latest CE regulations.

If you require Oak in garage doors larger than 8 feet wide there are 2 superb options available - Rundum Meir round the corner and sectional garage doors or Silvelox garage doors.

Both these garage door options offer a wide range of designs and size options up to 5.5 metres in the sectional, 9 metres in the round the corner door and 6 metres in the Silvelox. Bespoke designs are possible with both door types and drawigs are produced prior to manufacture to ensure you get the perfect garage door design.

Both these manufacturers have tested and refined these garage door systems to perfection over the years so you can be confident in purchasing a high quality door system that will offer years of trouble free, safe operation whilst looking as good as the day they were installed.
