Choosing Woodrite Up & Over Timber Garage Doors
Depending upon your requirements Woodrite up & over garage doors are available in a choice of 2 build types. Detailed below are the differences between the 2 options therefore please read this information to ensure you choose the right system to suit your garage opening, tastes and budget.
Panel Built
Timber garage doors manufactured in this way feature a steel or aluminium sub frame onto which the wood panel is mounted as this gives the door additional strength and rigidity without the need for additional timber braces.
To create a seamless appearance the timber cloaks the sub frame so that it is not visible from the outside. This is something Woodrite refer to a “edge to edge timber” and is a neat finishing detail that is unique to them. In terms of panel designs all the options within the Somerset, Buckingham and Monmouth range are only available in the panel built option. In comparison the Warwick and Thetford range has the option of panel built and solid built styles.
Solid Built
For most door sizes this style of construction does not require the panel to have a sub frame. Thanks to the benefit of traditional construction techniques the door has adequate strength to support its own weight and is the preferred choice where the aesthetics inside the garage are of equal importance to the outside appearance.
Within this range of doors the Balmoral and York designs are only available as solid built whilst the Warwick and Thetford range has the option of solid or panel built designs.
Choice of Lifting Gear
To ensure smooth operation, reliability and performance Woodrite up and over wooden garage doors are available in a choice Masta and Super Chassis lifting gear.
Masta-Gear: This type of lifting gear is designed to be compatible with all up and over doors within the Woodrite range. The masta chassis mounts onto an aluminium sub-frame (on panel built doors) or directly to the timber (for solid built doors) and is available in retractable and canopy styles to suit user preferences. For increased usability retractable lifting gear can be ordered with cranked arms at wing mirror height to increase drive through width making it an excellent feature for single garages.
Up & Over Size and Design Configuration
To maintain the correct proportions across the complete range of designs all Woodrite up and over wooden garage doors over 10ft 6” in width will be manufactured to give the appearance of two single doors fitted side by side.
Garage Doors under 10ft 6” will be made with repeated design features or may have wider proportions to ensure an aesthetically pleasing and balanced overall appearance is achieved.
