Standard garage door motors aren’t designed to lift heavy materials like hardwood or fibre cement. Excess weight can increase wear on motors, tracks, and automation systems - and limit design options.
Why Vulcan Timber Is Ideal for Garage Doors
- Ultra‑lightweight – Under 8kg/m² at 18mm thickness
- Dimensionally stable – Reduced movement compared to traditional timbers
- Durable exterior performance – Designed for exposed applications
- A smarter timber alternative – Sustainably sourced innovative timber, matching the beauty of traditionally used timbers
