Garage Doors

For many UK homes, the garage door isn’t a separate structure round the side, it’s built into the main facade, under the same roofline as the front door and windows. That makes it one of the largest visible elements on the house, and unlike a detached garage, there’s nowhere for a mismatched finish to hide. Knotwood’s aluminium garage door cladding and battens let architects, builders and homeowners carry the same considered finish across the whole elevation, garage included, rather than treating it as an afterthought bolted onto an otherwise finished facade.

It’s also a part of the home that takes more daily wear than almost any other exterior surface, opened and closed multiple times a day, facing direct weather from every angle with no eaves overhang to shelter it the way a wall might have. Knotwood’s aluminium profiles handle that use pattern without the maintenance real timber demands.

A timber-look garage door is one of the most requested finishes in the UK new-build and renovation market, it’s the detail that ties a garage door to the rest of a timber-clad or timber-look facade. The problem is that real timber struggles to hold that look under daily opening and closing without ongoing sealing and sanding. Knotwood’s aluminium profiles deliver the timber-look garage door finish with none of that upkeep, so the door still matches the rest of the house years after the two would otherwise have started to drift apart in colour and condition.
