Regular Door Frame.

This door frame is the most common type used across North America. For many years, this was the only type available in stores, making it familiar to most contractors who find it straightforward and easy to install. The key difference with our door frames is that they come with a factory-applied finish that matches the door finish. As a result, the frame is already aesthetically pleasing and does not require painting. The finish is a durable, wear-resistant PVC film that perfectly mimics the texture of natural wood, offering four times the durability of standard paint.

Advantages of this door frame include:

  • Ease of installation: The installation can be carried out by contractors with basic skills, without the need for specialized tools.
  • Compatibility: Since the width of the frame fully corresponds to the width of standard wall thickness, this type of frame can be installed with any type of moldings.
  • Suitable for standard new walls: Works well with standard drywall (1/2") and wall structures like 2"x4" (4-19/32").
  • High-quality hardware: The frame is equipped with premium ball-bearing hinges that do not require mortising. This eliminates the risk of damaging the frame's finish or the door during installation.
  • Pre-finished and ready to use: The frame is finished with a high-quality PVC film that mimics the texture of wood, making it ready for immediate installation without the need for additional painting.

Disadvantages of this door frame include:

  • Problems or difficulties with non-standard wall widths.
  • No compensation for wall irregularities: When installing on walls with vertical deviations, there is no way to compensate for the unevenness of the walls.
  • Visible mounting elements: Installation is done using nails or screws, all of which remain visible.

Recommendations:

  • Use a finish nailer with 23-gauge nails for installation.
