Henderson Gloucester Timber

Style & Design
The Gloucester design is based on a traditional style of timber panel door. A broad Cedar frame is divided by slim Cedar mouldings into vertical panels that form a continuous arch across the top of a door. A grid of square panels creates a sturdy and secure exterior. The Cedar mouldings contrast with the wood grain of the underlying marine plywood to enhance the appearance and depth of the panels. The Gloucester is supplied as standard with a factory-applied water repellent preservative – waiting for you to finish in a stain of your choice at home. It can also be ordered in factory finished Dark Oak or Mahogany as options.

Operating Gear

Henderson’s range of doors are designed for ease of operation using one of three types of “up and over” operating gear. Canopy employs no horizontal tracks protruding into the garage with the whole mechanism mounted to the fixing frame. When opened, one third of the door remains outside the opening to form a canopy. Tracked gear allows the door to retract fully into the garage space on horizontal tracks. Optimiser gear fits entirely to the door frame and incorporates tracks mounted to the door itself. This unique lifting gear is ideally suited to remote control electric operation. 

Materials and Finish

Henderson constructs its timber garage doors from solid Cedar boards, or solid Cedar mouldings on marine plywood. All timber comes from replenishable sources and is kiln dried before use. A box section steel chassis is used to enhance rigidity and security. The timber is treated with a micro porous water repellent sealant to enhance its durability and this may be finished in-situ in a suitable wood stain coating. Some styles are available in factory finished dark oak or mahogany. Timber doors require regular re-treatments to maintain the beauty of the wood and its long life.
