About Cedar Garage Doors
Cedar Door: Fine Timber Craftsmanship & Natural Elegance
Based in Derbyshire, Cedar Door has built a stellar reputation over more than 35 years for producing fine timber garage doors. Constructed using top-grade Western Red Cedar, which is renowned for its natural durability, dimensional stability, and rich grain patterns, each door is built by skilled craftspeople to deliver exceptional strength, longevity, and thermal insulation.
As trusted independent specialists, Doorfit supplies and fits the complete Cedar Door range across Birmingham, Solihull, and the wider Midlands region. Every timber door is built to exact opening dimensions, fitted with durable steel or matching timber frames, and can be automated with smart electric operators for smooth daily operation.
WHY CEDAR GARAGE DOORS?

Frequently Asked Questions About Cedar Garage Doors
Why choose Western Red Cedar for a garage door?
Western Red Cedar is widely considered the finest timber for external joinery. It possesses natural oils that make it exceptionally resistant to decay, rot, and moisture damage. It also has a low contraction rate, preventing warping, and offers superior natural thermal and acoustic insulation properties.
Do Cedar Door timber garage doors require maintenance?
Yes, like all natural timber products, Cedar Door garage doors require periodic re-treatment with quality wood stains every few years to protect the timber from UV rays and weather exposure. Doors supplied in factory-finished stains require less initial maintenance than base-coat treated doors.
Can timber up-and-over garage doors be automated?
Yes. Retractable Cedar Door up-and-over models and sectional timber doors can easily be fitted with an electric operator system for remote-controlled automatic access.
Do you supply and install Cedar Doors across Birmingham and the West Midlands?
Yes. We provide complete survey, supply, and installation services throughout Birmingham, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, Kenilworth, Lichfield, Warwickshire, and the wider West Midlands region.
How long does it take to supply and install a custom Cedar Door?
Because each Cedar Door is individually handcrafted to order in the UK, lead times typically range between 4 and 6 weeks from the final site survey and order confirmation. The installation process itself is completed by our qualified engineers in less than a day.
