Design and appearance
This Centre Ribbed Horizontal smooth wood‑effect door combines linear ribbing with a refined timber look, giving you the appearance of a modern boarded wooden door without the upkeep. The horizontal ribs break up the surface in a controlled way, so the door reads as a wide, well‑proportioned feature rather than a flat slab.
The smooth woodgrain finish adds depth and warmth, especially in the darker tones, and works well on both contemporary homes and more traditional properties with timber‑style windows or cladding. It is a good choice where you want a natural look but prefer a crisp, engineered finish.
Construction and insulation
Each leaf is formed from a 40mm thick, double‑skinned steel panel with a rigid foam core, giving a solid, insulated structure that feels substantial in use. The panel and frame system are engineered together, so the door closes firmly into the frame and compresses the seals evenly.
This construction not only improves thermal comfort and helps control draughts, it also gives the leaves good resistance to dents and distortion. The smooth wood‑effect surface is bonded to the outer face, so the "timber" look is built into the panel rather than applied on site.
Operation and configuration
The door is side hinged, opening outwards to keep the inside of the garage clear and free from overhead tracks. Day‑to‑day access is simple: use one leaf as a pedestrian door and only open the second leaf when you need the full width for vehicles or larger items.
Configurations with equal or unequal leaf splits are available, so you can set a wider active leaf if that suits the way the garage is used. This makes it a practical solution where the garage doubles as a workshop, store or utility space as well as vehicle housing.
Finishes, textures and colours
This model is offered in four smooth wood‑effect finishes, designed to echo popular timber tones while keeping a clean, modern surface. The finely detailed grain pattern sits well with the horizontal ribs, giving a boarded look when viewed from a distance.
The internal face of the door is supplied in a light finish to keep the interior bright, while the external wood‑effect can be chosen to complement existing doors, windows and cladding. The surface is designed for straightforward cleaning rather than regular staining or painting.
Sizing and installation
Doors are manufactured to measure up to 3188mm wide, allowing a close fit to the existing opening and a balanced look even on larger garages. Accurate factory production keeps the rib lines straight and the joints between frame and leaves consistent.
The doorset is delivered pre‑assembled, with the frame and door leaves already hung and aligned. Installation is then largely a matter of positioning, fixing and final adjustment, which helps maintain both appearance and performance.

- Improved sleek look
- No additional costs
- Improved security by removing the visible point of attack and making it harder to lever open the door.

- BS EN1303 Cylinder Security Grade 2
- Anti-drill and anti-pick design
- 3 keys as standard
- Break off system - designed to prevent the cylinder from being broken by including a 'sacrificial' section that is designed to break off in an attempt to break the cylinder is made, whilst leaving sufficient cylinder remaining to still operate the lock with a key.
> Stainless Steel Handles - High grade stainless steel handles and lock covers are tough and attractive.
> Double seals and mitred corners - In addition to the circumferential seal around the door leaf the door frame has a three sided seal for excellent draught reduction. Profiles are mitre jointed for a neat finish.
