Hi all. In a weak moment several years back, I purchased a new wood garage door! I did not realize (until it was too late) that the inset panels were some sort of fiberboard. They are now deformed, cracked, and therefore junk. I plan to use my oscillating tool to remove the backside round over lip so I can remove the panels. I will mill some new quarter round to secure the new panels. I could use some advice in choosing a good material to use for new panels.
I looked at thin luan plywood and bought a small piece and left it in the garage for a while to see how it would do. The panel does not stay flat! I have thought about using vinyl designed for use as beadboard and the lines would add interest but I am concerned about the weight. I have also looked at the plastic panels used in rest rooms but I do not know about painting them as they have a shine to them that does not go with what would be flat painted rails and styles. I have even thought about making some raised panels using Azec.
You wealth of experience would be greatly appreciated.
And yes, perhaps the sensible solution is to simply buy a new door!
