Composite Wood Garage Doors: Combining Style and Durability
Love the look and texture of a real wood garage door, but not the maintenance? Our composite wood garage door series offers an alternative. Engineered from a high-density blend of recycled wood fibers and advanced resins, these doors deliver the authentic grain and feel of timber with none of the susceptibility to rot, warping, or pests.
The Benefits of Composite Wood Garage Doors
Low Maintenance
Composite wood doors usually come with “factory-finished” UV-resistant coatings and need only a cleaning with mild soap and water to keep them looking new.
Durable Materials
These weather-resistant doors offer the authentic appearance of natural wood while remaining impervious to moisture, insects, and rot.
Eco-Friendly Option
Our composite wood doors are made using recycled wood fibers and resins. This makes them a more sustainable choice compared to harvesting old-growth timber for solid wood panels. They are often made from sustainable, recycled materials and have a high R-value for energy efficiency.

Composite Wood FAQs
- Wood composite is made from a mixture of wood fiber, plastic, and a binding agent (like glue). It’s a subgroup of natural fiber plastic composites (NFPCs) and may contain fillers like pulp fibers, bamboo, and peanut hulls.
- Wood composite (also known as wood-plastic composite or WPC) is heavy, dense, and strong, making it perfect for a variety of outside applications. Along with garage doors, it’s often used for decks, fences, window frames, siding, and more.
- Wood composite garage doors are extremely low-maintenance in comparison to some other door materials. Our faux wood composite garage door materials are naturally moisture-, weather-, insect-, and rot-resistant, so they’ll look brand new for years after installation.
- Composite garage doors are an environmentally friendly choice because they’re made from recycled and sustainable materials. The pliable nature of wood composite also means it can be molded into a garage door of any shape. Plus, it accepts paint and stain just like real wood. And when you do paint or stain your wood composite garage doors, you won’t have to touch them up as frequently.
While wood composite garage doors look like real wood (and contain pieces of wood), they aren’t 100% wood. So, if you’re looking for a door that looks and feels like real wood, a composite door won’t suit your needs. Real wood doors are also heavier than composite doors, so they provide more security for the contents of your garage.
- Because they’re not 100% wood, composite garage doors excel in any climate. They’re moisture-resistant, which means they won’t shrink or expand in humid climates. Plus, they won’t be damaged or warped by freezing and thawing in cooler environments.
- Every Artisan wood composite door features a precision-engineered, heat-reflective finish to minimize solar heat gain and sun damage. This makes them perfect for beach, lakefront, and coastal properties.
- Wood composite garage doors are very low maintenance and can withstand years of exposure to the elements. There’s no need to wash your door on a regular basis or buy special cleaning products.
- We do recommend an annual inspection to make sure the finish is consistent across the face of the door. If the finish has lost its sheen, simply apply a clear, protective top coat like Helmsman spar urethane.
