A classic material that’s been used in construction for millennia, wood is a great option for your door frames. With more modern and convenient materials on the market, wood is not as common as it used to be. However, to this day, wood still holds its own and is a very reliable material. First and foremost: it looks gorgeous. The earthy veins, rich colors, and grainy texture of natural wood are what attract so many buyers.
But it’s not mere aesthetics that have made wood a staple of door frame materials. Door frames are not simply there to look good. There is a practical application to doors and getting the material right is super important if you’re looking to insulate your home well. Wood is one of the best, if not the best, material out there for insulating your home. The natural, thick fibers on the inside of the wooden boards don’t allow for the warm air indoors to escape, keeping the interior warmer better than other materials. And while wood does require regular maintenance as well as quality finish to last a long time, there are plenty of clever solutions and workarounds to help you overcome these issues quite easily. Certain types of wood finish, for example, will protect it from water damage, those being varnish and lacquer. To protect your door frames from warping and misshaping you can use door oil. If you need help picking out which sealer or finish to use for your doorframes, ask the DIY store sales representative to give you their recommendations on brands and types to purchase.
