Your Door Frame Deserves a Closer Look

When choosing an entry door, most homeowners focus on the door itself. They compare styles, glass designs, colors, and finishes. But there’s another component that has a major impact on the long-term performance of an entryway: the door frame.

The frame serves as the foundation of the entire door system. It supports the door, helps maintain proper operation, contributes to energy efficiency, and plays a critical role in resisting the everyday wear caused by weather, moisture, and changing temperatures.

That’s why at Plastpro, we believe your door frame deserves just as much attention as the door it surrounds.

Why the Door Frame Matters

A door is only as strong as the frame supporting it. While traditional wood frames have been widely used for decades, they can be vulnerable to issues such as warping, splitting, cracking, and rot when exposed to moisture over time.

Because the frame is constantly exposed to the elements, choosing the right material can make a significant difference in the longevity and performance of an entry system.

A Different Approach to Door Frames

Plastpro PF™ (Polyfiber) Door Frames were developed to provide an alternative to traditional wood door jambs. Designed to combine the appearance of wood with the benefits of advanced composite technology, PF Frames are built to deliver long-lasting durability while standing up to challenging environmental conditions.

Unlike conventional wood frames, PF Frames are engineered with HydroShield Technology™, helping protect against moisture-related issues such as warping, rotting, and splitting.

For homeowners living in humid climates, coastal regions, or areas that experience significant seasonal weather changes, moisture resistance can be an important factor in protecting an entryway investment.

Strength Where It Counts

A door frame does more than create an opening. It provides the structural support necessary for smooth operation and long-term reliability.

PF Frames offer twice the screw-holding power of traditional wood door frames and are 25% more rigid than wood. Their continuous-frame construction eliminates finger joints, creating a stronger and more consistent frame structure.

The material is also termite-resistant throughout the frame, providing another layer of protection that homeowners and builders can appreciate.

Built for Efficiency and Low Maintenance

Many homeowners are looking for products that perform well without requiring ongoing maintenance. PF Frames are designed to be maintenance-free while supporting the overall energy efficiency of the entryway.

Because Polyfiber material is more thermally resistant than wood or metal, it helps create a more effective and durable entry system. And since PF Frames install using the same methods as traditional door frames, builders and contractors can work with familiar installation practices.

Designed to Complement Any Home

Performance is important, but appearance matters too.

PF Frames are available in a variety of options, including Oak Grain, Fir Grain, Mahogany, Primed, and White-Capped PVC finishes. They can be painted or stained to coordinate with a wide range of architectural styles and exterior color palettes.

To create a complete entryway solution, the PF product line also includes complementary components such as brick moulds, flat casing, trim boards, transom sills, mull posts, J-channels, and storm door adapters.

Looking Beyond the Door

When evaluating a new entry system, it’s easy to focus on the door panel itself. But the frame is working behind the scenes every day to support performance, durability, and appearance.

A high-performing frame can help protect against moisture, provide lasting structural integrity, and contribute to a more durable entryway overall. That’s why at Plastpro, we believe homeowners, builders, and dealers should look beyond the door and give the frame the attention it deserves.

Because a better entryway starts with a stronger foundation.
