Although garage doors have evolved considerably over the years, ones made from cedar have continuously been popular. Aside from always being stylish, there are a number of other benefits to installing cedar garage doors. Here are just a few we thought were worth mentioning.
#1. Repels moths
Cedar is popular in closets because it helps repel moths, and having a garage door made of cedar will help prevent these pests from entering your garage as well. Repelling moths is especially important if you regularly store clothing or linens in your garage.
#2. Mold-Resistant
This is one of the most mold-resistant species of wood out there. If your garage is prone to dampness, you may want to consider a cedar door to help prevent mold from forming.
#3. Less prone to decay
Cedar can withstand exposure to the elements fairly well without decaying. As such, you won’t have to worry about replacing your garage door or making repairs to it for quite some time.
#4. Lightweight
The fact that cedar is lightweight makes it ideal for garage doors that must be manually opened. Automatic cedar doors place less strain on their openers, thereby helping them last longer. Even though it is lightweight, cedar nonetheless provides a durable barrier against the elements.
#5. Appearance
Many people prefer cedar because of its attractive appearance. You may enjoy the look of cedar so much that you find staining or painting it isn’t necessary. Cedar garage doors look attractive on any home, but are especially appealing on log cabins or houses with natural wood siding because of their rustic appearance.
Cedar doors are also easy to fit, and come in a huge selection of sizes and styles. To see the selection of cedar garage doors we have available, contact us.
