Garage Doors

Maintaining wooden garage doors

If you have a wooden garage door, it’s essential to keep them well maintained and looked after to ensure they continue to look good and stay problem-free.

Although it sounds obvious, cleaning your door is vital to ensure it looks its best. Keeping it clean will also highlight any areas that need attention. Clean the door with warm, soapy water.

When cleaning your garage door, make sure you also check the mechanisms and runners.  Clean off any dirt and debris and oil all moving parts to keep it moving smoothly.

Depending on where you live, you may wish to sand your wooden door every 2-5 years to keep it splinter-free and smooth.

Some people paint their wooden garage doors, whilst others maintain the natural beauty by staining and sealing. Doing this will ensure that the door continues to look its best and protect it from the wind and rain.
