wooden door frames

A wooden door is beautiful, but it will only be appreciated if is nicely hung on hinges, so that it fills the door frame. It must also be fitted out with suitable hardware that allows it to be easily opened and closed. Exterior doors and exterior wooden door frames are, of course, subject to some extreme conditions of sun and weather, and must be stout and weather-resistant. We have the technical know-how, expertise, and experience of supplying matching wooden door frames to make your wooden door feel perfectly at home.

Most exterior doors and frames are constructed of wood because they are light-weight yet sturdy, reasonably easy to work with, and far cheaper than metal. Unlike inside door frames, with little need of weatherizing, an exterior door frame requires considerable attention for the prevention of draughts or leaks. These will rob your home of proper insulation. A wood frame is subject to rot if it is not properly coated and maintained.

To fit your wooden door solidly and expertly into place, we provide the perfect dimensions. Exterior wooden door frames consists of posts, casings, jambs, and a threshold. The threshold is the bottom piece of the frame. Although timber or hollow-core doors are supplied in standard sizes, almost all doors have to be trimmed to fit the opening as a result of floor level.

Installing a traditional door frame can be difficult since the frame needs to be measured, hinged and squared, and without the right framing knowledge or the proper tools, the haphazard frame won't allow the door to swing freely on its hinges.

Wooden door frames serve a huge purpose in any building that requires an entrance, providing the support and structure for the door.
