Description
The Delta Castellated Aluminium PanelDor With Wood Look Finish is a custom sectional overhead garage door designed to combine the strength and durability of aluminium with the warmth and architectural appearance of timber.
Manufactured from Delta’s standard 38mm aluminium frame using purpose-designed 6063-T5 extruded aluminium rails and stiles, the door is finished with purpose-designed castellated aluminium slats installed vertically across the face.
The castellated slats are finished in a wood look coating, providing the appearance of timber without the ongoing maintenance requirements associated with natural wood. The slats are face fixed and mechanically secured to the aluminium frame with no visible fixings across the finished face.
🏗️ 38mm Extruded Aluminium Frame
The Delta Castellated PanelDor is built around our standard 38mm aluminium framing system.
Each sectional panel is constructed from purpose-designed 6063-T5 extruded aluminium rails and stiles, providing a strong and rigid structure while keeping the overall door relatively lightweight.
Internal vertical supports are incorporated as required according to the size and structural requirements of the individual door.
🌲 Wood Look Aluminium Finish
The external face of the door is finished with purpose-designed castellated aluminium slats in a wood look finish.
This provides the visual warmth of timber while retaining the durability, consistency and low-maintenance characteristics of aluminium.
The wood look finish is particularly suited to contemporary homes where natural materials form part of the architectural palette but the maintenance requirements of real timber are undesirable.
▥ Castellated Architectural Profile
The castellated slat profile creates a strong three-dimensional appearance across the garage door face.
The raised and recessed sections of the aluminium profile produce depth and shadow, giving the door a more architectural appearance than a conventional flat panel.
This makes the Castellated PanelDor particularly effective on modern façades where texture, repetition and vertical lines are important design elements.
↕️ Vertical Slat Design
The castellated aluminium slats are installed vertically across the face of the garage door.
The vertical orientation creates a taller and more refined visual effect while helping the door integrate with contemporary façades that feature vertical timber battens, aluminium screens or architectural cladding.
The finished appearance is clean, linear and highly suited to modern residential design.
🔩 Concealed Fixing System
The castellated aluminium profiles are mechanically secured to the aluminium frame while keeping the face of the door free from visible fixings.
This provides:
- No exposed screws across the finished face
- Clean uninterrupted vertical lines
- Neat panel transitions
- A more refined architectural appearance
- Secure mechanical attachment to the frame
The concealed fixing arrangement helps the garage door read more like an integrated façade element than a conventional sectional garage door.
⬛ Satin Black Frame as Standard
The internal aluminium frame is powder coated Satin Black as standard.
This provides a durable internal finish and creates a clean contrast behind the wood look castellated face.
Alternative powder coat colours are also available where the frame needs to coordinate with other architectural finishes.
🏡 Designed for Contemporary Architecture
The Delta Castellated Aluminium PanelDor is particularly suited to homes where the garage door is intended to form part of the overall architectural design.
Its vertical timber-look appearance works especially well with:
- Contemporary residential homes
- Custom-built houses
- Architectural residences
- Luxury developments
- Timber-look façades
- Vertical batten features
- Modern entry doors
- Aluminium screening
- Feature walls and cladding
The garage door can be designed to complement surrounding materials and create a more cohesive external appearance.
🚪 Sectional Overhead Operation
Although the finished door has the appearance of a custom architectural façade, mechanically it operates as a sectional overhead garage door.
The door is made up of multiple rigid horizontal sections connected together with hinges.
When opening, the sections initially travel vertically within the opening before following the curved track and moving horizontally underneath the garage ceiling.
This provides the space-efficient operation of a sectional garage door while retaining the appearance of a continuous vertical castellated façade.
⚖️ Spring Counterbalanced System
The finished weight of the Castellated PanelDor is counterbalanced using a correctly engineered spring system.
The springs offset the weight of the door, reducing the force required to operate it manually or automatically.
Spring selection is calculated according to the final dimensions, frame configuration and finished weight of each individual door.
Correct balance is essential for smooth operation and long-term reliability.
🔩 Sectional Track & Hardware System
The individual door sections are guided through their movement using a purpose-designed sectional overhead track and hardware system.
Garage door wheels travel through the vertical and horizontal tracks, maintaining the alignment of the sections throughout the opening and closing cycle.
The track configuration is selected according to the dimensions of the door, the available headroom and the installation conditions.
📏 Custom Manufactured for Each Project
The Delta Castellated Aluminium PanelDor is custom manufactured specifically for the dimensions and design requirements of each project.
The system can be manufactured up to:
- Maximum Width: 8000mm
- Maximum Height: 3660mm
This allows the door to suit standard residential openings as well as very wide architectural garage doors.
Final availability at larger sizes depends on the overall design, finished weight, structural requirements and installation conditions.
📐 Suitable for Large Garage Openings
With widths available up to 8000mm, the Castellated PanelDor can be used across openings significantly larger than those of many standard sectional garage doors.
Potential applications include:
- Wide double garages
- Triple garage openings
- Large residential garages
- Architectural vehicle storage areas
- High-end custom homes
- Oversized sectional door applications
As the door increases in size, additional internal frame reinforcement, spring capacity and higher-capacity automation may be required.
🎨 Low-Maintenance Timber Appearance
One of the main advantages of the wood look aluminium finish is the ability to achieve a timber-inspired appearance without using natural timber as the external surface.
Compared with natural timber, aluminium does not require the same level of ongoing sanding, staining or refinishing.
This makes the door particularly attractive where a timber aesthetic is desired but lower maintenance and greater finish consistency are priorities.
⚙️ Suitable for Automatic Operation
The Delta Castellated Aluminium PanelDor can be automated using an appropriately selected sectional garage door operator.
The correct operator is selected according to the size, finished weight and operating characteristics of the completed door.
Larger or heavier installations may require a higher-capacity residential or commercial garage door operator.
Regardless of operator capacity, the door itself must remain correctly spring balanced.
🛠️ Custom Manufactured by Delta
The Castellated PanelDor is manufactured as a complete custom sectional garage door system rather than simply attaching decorative material to a standard panel.
The extruded aluminium frame, castellated slat layout, concealed fixing system, spring configuration and track hardware are all incorporated into the design of the finished door.
This provides significantly greater flexibility in size, appearance and architectural integration.

Construction
Each Delta Castellated Aluminium PanelDor is made up of multiple rigid horizontal sections.
A purpose-designed 38mm framework of 6063-T5 extruded aluminium rails and stiles forms the structural base of each section.
Purpose-designed castellated aluminium slats are then installed vertically across the external face and mechanically secured to the frame using a concealed fixing arrangement.
The completed sections are hinged together and travel vertically within the opening before transitioning through the track system and moving horizontally beneath the garage ceiling.
This construction combines the strength and practicality of aluminium with the visual appeal of a timber-look architectural façade.
