Timber Garage Doors in Crawley
If you are replacing a door in Crawley, Timber Garage Doors are cut to your actual opening rather than to a nearest standard size.
Specifying a door for Crawley
Crawley is a relatively sheltered inland location, so the specification is driven more by how the door looks and how secure it is than by weather resistance.
Housing in and around Crawley is largely post-war and mixed estate stock, which suits flush or two-panel doors with a clean square-edged moulding. We match the mouldings and panel proportions to what is already on the street rather than fitting a generic pattern.

Common questions
Which garage door type suits timber best?
Side-hung, because the weight is carried on hinges rather than a mechanism. Up-and-over in timber works but the gear must be specified for the weight.
What door suits a post-war house?
A flush or two-panel door with a square-edged moulding and a simple glazed light. Clean lines suit the elevation better than applied period detail.
What glazing goes in a timber door?
Sealed units in a range of obscure, etched, leaded and clear finishes, bedded and beaded from the inside so the glass cannot be removed from outside.
How energy efficient is a timber door?
A modern insulated timber door with a sealed unit performs comparably to composite alternatives, and timber itself is a far poorer conductor than aluminium or steel.
What finish options are there?
Factory spray in any RAL or heritage colour, translucent stains, and natural oils on oak. All applied and cured in controlled conditions before the door ships.
Do you remove the old door?
Yes, and we take it away. If the frame is sound we can hang into it; if it has rotted at the foot we will say so at survey rather than after.
