The Reserve® Wood Modern garage door blends clean, contemporary lines with the natural warmth of real wood. Every detail is thoughtfully crafted, from the choice of premium materials to the minimalist design that highlights the wood’s rich, natural grain. With options to customize everything from the wood species to the window placement, you can tailor the look to suit any modern exterior. The result is a door that balances a striking look with a welcoming, sophisticated feel.

The Reserve® Wood Modern door stands out precisely because it’s unexpected, adding warmth and character where you’d least expect it. It catches the eye, surprises in all the right ways, and still delivers on practicality. For a garage door that’s unmistakably modern yet inviting, this is anything but ordinary.
Each door combines natural wood cladding, a sturdy base core, polystyrene insulation, and a smooth wood backer for long-lasting strength and energy efficiency.
Pick from seven sleek designs and six gorgeous wood species plus optional windows or metal accent strips. Finish it off with paint, stain, or choose from over 1,500 Color Blast® custom colors.
Polystyrene insulation (R-value 5.9) keeps your garage more comfortable, no matter the weather.

For doors up to 10 feet wide, ask about seamless “no splice” options for an uninterrupted appearance.

Garage doors vary in thickness based on the construction, insulation type, and material. Clopay offers polystyrene insulated wood doors with a 6.5 R-value. Keep in mind, wood is a natural insulator.
We also have steel doors insulated with polyurethane foam or polystyrene. The R-values range from 6.5 to 20.4, depending on the model. A higher R-value means the door is more energy efficient.
