Door Frames

A door frame is a rectangular structure that surrounds a doorway and provides a solid support for the door. It is typically made of wood, but it can also be made of other materials, such as metal.

Door frames are typically installed in a rough opening in the wall. The rough opening is slightly larger than the door frame to allow for shimming and levelling. Once the door frame is installed, it is secured to the wall with nails or screws.

Door Frame Functions

• Provides support for the door: The door frame provides a solid structure for the door to be attached to. This helps to ensure that the door operates smoothly and does not sag or warp over time.
• Creates a seal against the wall: The door frame helps to create a seal against the wall to prevent drafts and moisture from entering the room. This helps to improve the energy efficiency of the home and make it more comfortable.
• Provides security: A well-installed door frame can help to improve the security of the home by making it more difficult for intruders to break in.
• Enhances the appearance of the room: A door frame can be a decorative element that enhances the appearance of the room. It can be painted or stained to match the décor of the room.
