At Central Oregon Garage Door, we thrive on delivering unique, custom solutions that perfectly complement the architectural features of our clients’ homes. Our recent project — a custom wood garage door with a steel overlay — is a perfect example of the craftsmanship and attention to detail that sets us apart.
A Distinctive Design Vision
Our client was looking for something special that would not only function as a garage door but also capture the other metal elements found throughout the home. Our challenge was to create a door that would meet this aesthetic goal while delivering durability and performance. Collaborating with our in-house CAD designer, we developed a series of design ideas and worked closely with the architect and designer to ensure every detail aligned with the client’s vision.
Craftsmanship in Every Layer
We began by building custom wood doors and laying down Breckenridge as the base layer. This rich, textured wood was chosen for its strength and its ability to serve as a solid foundation for the next steps in the design.
Over the Breckenridge base, we added a layer of hot-rolled steel, which was powder-coated with a clear finish to preserve its industrial elegance while protecting it from the elements. This blend of materials — wood and metal — added a modern, industrial edge to the door’s appearance while maintaining the warmth of natural wood. Attaching the steel to the wood frame required a carefully planned process. We used a combination of high-strength adhesive and black Phillips screws, both functional and stylish, to secure the steel overlay in place. This combination ensured durability while seamlessly blending into the overall design, enhancing the door’s sleek, modern look.
The Collaborative Process
Bringing this project to life was no small feat. There were challenges along the way, from selecting the right materials to finalizing the design. But this is where our team thrives — solving problems and ensuring the end product exceeds expectations. Through multiple rounds of design revisions, material discussions, and collaboration with the architect and contractor, we were able to create a one-of-a-kind door that is both visually stunning and built to last.
