Which frame type are suitable for your door

Usually, different manufacturers will have their own unique door frame styles, but the purpose is the same, to secure the door frame in the wall. These different door frame styles have their own characteristics, which is why it is important to pick the right door frame. The right door frame is not only good in vision and strong, but it also offers some special functions.

Normal frame type:

Have one or two rabbet. Suitable for masonry walls and other solid walls with sufficient load-bearing capacity. The frame itself is fixed to the wall by means of Masonry anchor(clip) and/or expansion screws. Since it does not need to be clipped to the wall, the thickness can be the same as the wall thickness, keeping the whole wall flush.

Wrap around wall frame type:

Door jamb thickness is higher than the wall thickness, wrapping the wall and fixed with self-tapping screws. It is suitable for dry wall, wall made with mild steel keel and plasterboard, or wooden wall with limited load bearing capacity, etc. Door jamb can be designed with pattern to keep the beauty. This type of door jamb is also suitable for masonry walls and can also be used if there are special requirements for visual effects.

Wooden door jamb/frame：

Suitable for wooden doors. The entire door jamb is made of solid wood or LVL, which maintains the same visual effect as the door jamb. Similar to a wall wrapping frame, it will extend out to wrap around the wall. Normally divided into 2 Architrave and several pieces of door jamb. In addition, wooden doors are also able to use steel door frames and their frame types.

Doors can be sound-proof and smoke-proof and insect-resistant by attaching a sill to the door frame at a specific pre-determined location, and the door frame itself can be designed to block smoke or sound.
