Door Frames are highly visible, hardworking parts in a home’s interior, they deserve thoughtful attention when it comes time to buy new ones. The right frames will stand up durably to daily usage, minimize sound transfer between rooms, and add character or style to the home’s overall interior design.
Door frames come in many different styles and configurations and are made from a variety of materials. The type of frame you choose for your home can dramatically affect your home interior’s privacy, noise control, and overall visual impression.
Doors and door frames must be tough enough to withstand wind, rain, scorching sun, and would-be intruders, yet handsome enough to make a good first impression. Unfortunately, meeting those needs is a tall order for many doors. Most older ones are made of wood or wood veneer, both of which warp, crack, and delaminate after years of exposure to the elements. Metal doors don't last forever, either--the surface on some older steel doors can peel. Marble or stone door frame, are current time demand, which stand durable with time
.
Whether that describes your front door or you just want to trade a solid door for one with glass panels that offer more light, you'll find plenty of options available. There are new door frames that resist the elements better than earlier versions, as well as metal and fiberglass door ones that look like wood, combined with this stone door frames, provide greater security and often cost less.
Detecting Damage
Sometimes replacing a door means simply exchanging one door, called a slab or blank, for another. But in some cases you'll have to rip out and replace the old door framing, which includes the door jambs and threshold — especially if these wood members have begun to rot.
Even if the old door frame is fine, the wall studs it's nailed to can bow and settle out of square. This makes it difficult to open and close the door. To make a new wood door fit an out-of-kilter frame, you'll need to plane the top and bottom or even trim one of these edges so the door hangs correctly. This is only an option with a wood door; metal and fiberglass doors can't be planed or cut.
Most new doors are prehung, which means the door hangs on hinges within a new frame (these systems also include some form of weatherstripping). Prehung doors are an ideal choice if the old frame is bad or if you're removing the frame because you want to enlarge the opening.
If you're replacing your old door with a prehung unit, first determine if you need a left- or right-hand door. Stand in the doorway and face outside. If the lockset is on your right, you have a right-hand door.
To choose the proper jamb size, measure the height and width of the existing door jamb between the inside edges of the casing. Add 1/2 inch to the frame height and 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch to the width . The width of the door is measured across its face. Most doors are sold as 3-0 (36 inches) or wider.
An alternative to replacing the entire frame is to use door-replacement kits, such as Replace Door Systems from Pease Industries. Here, the door is prehung in a small steel frame that attaches to the old one. Benefits include easy installation and the added security of the steel frame. However, these kits slightly reduce the original opening, they're available in only a few sizes, and they can't be installed over rotted jambs.
Door-to-Door Frame Shopping Tips
Going Online
Whether you buy at a store or online, you'll save time by doing some research online and at least visiting a store to truly see what you're buying. Manufacturer sites describe materials and offer catalogs, and can help you to find a local retailer. And even if you don't see the exact product you want, a similar model can give you a good idea of construction and finish.
Energy Efficiency
Stone frame is suitable with every material door like; wooden, Steel, Fiberglass & glass.
Steel and fiberglass doors typically have more insulating value than wood doors. Models that are Energy Star-qualified must be independently tested and certified, and often boast tighter-fitting frames, energy-efficient cores, and, for models with glass, double- or triple-panel insulating glass to reduce heat transfer. You'll find more details on the website. But you may not save as much as you think, since doors are a small part of the surface area of a house and typically don't allow significant amounts of warm air to escape. What's more, heat is generally lost through air leaks around the door, not through the door itself.
Installation
Doors & door frames are also known as door systems because they come pre-hung in a frame and are often pre-drilled for a knob and deadbolt. Unless a replacement door is part of a larger remodeling project, you may want the new door to be the same size as the old one. Choosing a larger door or adding sidelights means redoing the door framing around the door—a job best left to a contractor. Home centers generally offer installation or referral services. Unless you're a skilled carpenter, you may also want to hire a pro to install same-size doors.
Keep Yourself and Your Family Safe
It takes a quality door lock to deter burglaries and home invasions. Many crooks kick in doors to get in. But unless your door is hollow, it's not the door itself that lets burglars in. Our tests with a battering ram have shown little difference in strength among door materials. All eventually failed because the doorjamb split near the lock's strike plate, though we also found that beefed-up locks and strike plates can greatly increase a door's kick-in resistance.
Some other ways to strengthen an exterior door: Use a lock with a 1-inch-long deadbolt and a reinforced metal box strike. Use 3-inch-long mounting screws so they lodge in the framing beyond the door jamb. And don't overlook the door that leads into your house from the garage.
We (Rameshwaram Marble)have own manufacturing facility for stone door frame. So i don't think , that i have to make big search. But first time experience for using for own home. There are lost of features of stone frame, its always good to prefer stone frames over wooden one.
