When choosing a door frame, most homeowners focus on appearance—but performance is just as important. Over time, a door frame faces moisture, temperature changes, and daily wear, all of which can lead to costly repairs if the wrong materials are used.

Here’s why Plastpro Polyfiber (PF) Door Frames are the better choice compared to traditional wood frames.

1. Moisture Resistance

Wood frames naturally absorb moisture, leading to swelling, warping, and decay. PF Frames are made from composite materials that do not absorb water, meaning they maintain their shape and integrity even in humid or coastal environments.

2. Rot-Proof & Durable

Over time, wood frames can rot—especially when exposed to rain or snow. They’re also vulnerable to termites and other insects. PF Frames are rot-proof and insect-resistant, ensuring long-lasting performance without structural damage.

3. Low Maintenance

Wood requires regular sanding, painting, or sealing to stay protected. PF Frames are virtually maintenance-free—simply wipe clean when needed. This means you save both time and money over the life of the product.

4. Consistent Fit & Finish

Wood can expand or contract with temperature and humidity changes, affecting the fit of your door. PF Frames stay consistent, ensuring smooth operation and a polished look year-round.

The Long-Term Value

While wood frames may have a lower initial cost, the ongoing maintenance and potential repairs can quickly outweigh the savings. PF Frames provide lasting durability, making them a smart investment for homeowners and builders alike.
