Though it goes without saying that doors are always an important consideration in all construction and remodelling projects, the frames often do not get the attention they deserve. The result is poor fit and finish that ends up taking away the charm of your spaces. So, to make sure that doesn’t happen with you, it is important that you know about the various types of frame available on the market. That is exactly what we will cover in this blog post. Read on.
Door Frame Types
Door frame types fall into two broad categories: rebated frames and engineered frames. Rebated frames are available in different wooden species, and come without a stopper. Engineered frames, on the other hand, come with different core options to suit the different applications, whether fire-rated or non-fire-rated. They also come with door stoppers that are manufactured using the same material used to manufacture the door frame. The door stoppers are usually 15 mm thick.

Types of Engineered Frames
Engineered frames can be further categorized into three types: LVL, MDF, and Hardwood frames. We discuss the three-door frame types in brief.
LVL-Frame
LVL or Laminated Veneer Lumber Frame is manufactured using multiple layers of thin veneer sheets. The layers are assembled together using adhesive, enhancing the frame’s durability and strength.
MDF-Frame
MDF or Medium-Density-Fibreboard Frame is manufactured using a highly moisture resistant MDF core, making it an ideal choice for spaces that are exposed to extreme weather conditions.
