Garage doors might be made from timber, which is a more premium garage door material. However, they might just as easily be made of a wood effect material, such as fibreglass. Can you tell the difference? Perhaps not from a distance – they will indeed look very realistic in a wood effect finish. However, you might be able to tell closer up, and the material you select might not be as durable as wood.

Wood is the most premium option you can choose, however whilst it is durable, it might not be as durable as other materials. This is why some people opt for a wood effect instead. It is also to do with the cost – wood is going to cost more than any other kind of garage door because it is such a premium and expensive material. Look at both options and choose – if you can’t afford real wood, you may prefer something else altogether, like aluminium or steel.
