Cedar garage doors are visually stunning and add a level of style and class to your home. However, if you do not maintain them correctly, they can become damaged and potentially rot. As cedar is becoming an increasingly popular material in construction, and more recently for the use of garage doors, it is important to understand a few helpful tips that can go a long way in maintaining your cedar wood and in turn, allow it to continue looking good for longer.

Western Red Cedar as a Material for Garage Doors

Homeowners are beginning to move further away from the classic Colourbond material that has been used for garage doors for decades. Instead, they are beginning to see the opportunity to make their garage door a statement in style, as well as functionality. At Impact Garage Doors, we are stocking several different types of garage doors made from different materials. We now provide BlueScope Steel doors, panel doors made from Maple wood, textured finished Tuscan designs and of course, Western Red Cedar. Our range of custom garage doors is growing at a rapid rate, and we feel it is important for our clients to know how best to maintain their own garage door.

Maintaining Western Red Cedar Garage Doors

1. Ensure a Quality Protective Coat

The first and most effective way of maintaining custom garage doors, and more specifically, Western Red Cedar doors, is to make sure there is a quality protective coating applied to all sides of the door. This protective coating will help shelter your door from rain, wind, and sunshine. A quality protective quote will prevent it from fading in colour.

2. Clean Your Garage Door Once Every Few Months

This is a very simple and easy job to do and will take no more than an hour. It is recommended that you do this at least once a year, however, if you can do it 3-4 times a year, that is even better! All you need to do is take a bucket of warm water and mix it with regular household detergent and then apply it to your door. Then, just scrub!
