Give Your Garage Door a Classic Look with Our New Wood Tones
There’s no look more classic and desirable for your home décor than wood tones. They are simply unparalleled when it comes to exterior aesthetics—wood siding, wood shingles, and wood window frames all look great.
Do you already have a beautiful wood grain finish to your home’s siding and front door? You can add that kind of vintage warmth to your steel garage door too with the new line of wood tones from Creative Door Services™.
Let’s take a closer look at what kind of wood tone options you can choose from for your steel garage door.
Revamp Your Exterior with Our New Wood Tones
In all aspects, whether it’s windows, siding, decking, or doors, products that imitate the look of wood have become extremely popular. Natural wood looks are highly desirable, but they can be very expensive to buy and onerous to maintain. Faux-wood mitigates those issues. When you’re considering renovating the exterior of your home, consider the durability and customizability of wood-look steel garage doors.
Creative Door Services™ offers a brand-new line of colours for our Landmark Series of garage doors so you can extend that classic wood tone look to every part of the exterior of your home.
Benefits of Choosing Wood Tone Steel Doors
So, you may be asking yourself “Why should I go with wood tone steel doors rather than just installing real wood doors?” There are many reasons why you should choose wood tones rather than real wood for your doors. These reasons include:
Eco-friendliness and Sustainability
Steel is eco-friendly and much more sustainable when compared to real wood doors. Steel is easy to recycle and produce. Wood requires logging to produce, which contributes to deforestation and is not environmentally friendly. While steel does require mining to produce, steel can also be recycled much more easily. A steel door can wear out, then be melted down and remade into a new door. You can’t do that with wood!
Real wood also requires much more maintenance. Since wood, even treated wood, is more susceptible to weathering, mould, rot, warping, and cracking, plus termites and rodents, it can become worn out a lot more quickly than steel doors. Steel doors are much easier to maintain, which means less work for you and much lower maintenance costs.
Finally, these steel garage doors are more energy efficient, which means you can still get a classic wood look while also using less electricity in your home. That’s an even bigger environmental benefit!
Improve Your Home’s Curb Appeal
Wood is a classic look that appeals to pretty much everybody. Adding new wood tones to your garage doors will make your home the envy of the neighbourhood. That kind of mass approval will have a positive effect on your home’s curb appeal and value.
Once you’ve made the switch and taken advantage of the new wood tones from Creative Door Services™, you can be proud of your home and the visual appeal you’ve accomplished simply by installing wood tone garage doors.
Better Customization Lets You Achieve a Specific Aesthetic
Wood-look doors offer much more customizability than solid wood. If you’re trying to attain a specific aesthetic with your home’s exterior, wood tones can go a long way to helping out thanks to the large range of designs, styles, and colours that are available. You can choose the option that best suits your preferred aesthetic, whether you want rustic cedar, elegant hickory, or any other grain.
Affordability
Wood tones on steel garage doors present a much more affordable way to get that wood look you’ve always dreamed of.
When compared with solid wood doors, the price tag ends up being much more reasonable. Natural wood starts with a higher upfront cost, plus it can require much more maintenance thanks to the higher likelihood of warping, cracking, or rotting. A wooden door may also be much heavier, which will necessitate the installation of a heavy-duty garage door opener, adding even more costs to the pile.
Finally, modern garage doors made from fibreglass or steel are made to be much more energy efficient, which can mean you save a bundle on heating and cooling costs.
