Care and Maintenance

Timber & Ply Doors

A routine clean of the garage door is recommended at least every 3 months. It may be washed with water and a mild detergent followed by a clean water rinse. This will help keep dirt, grime and salt from building up and affecting the coating. Avoid using abrasives or strong chemicals when washing the door.

We recommend that you regularly inspect your door for any paint breakdown, paying special attention to the edges as it is along these areas that water ingress is more likely to start.

Check the surfaces every 4 to 6 months and re-coat as necessary. The frequency and number of coats will vary depending on aspect, atmospheric conditions, thickness of existing coatings, exposure to the elements and other contaminants. We suggest that you consult your coating supplier for advice on coating amounts and procedures.
