Door frames: the strong, silent type of your home

Have you ever stopped to admire your door frame? No? Well, it's time to give it the spotlight it deserves. While doors are busy making a statement, door frames quietly hold everything together. They’re the dependable mate who doesn’t need applause but always has your back. Let’s explore why these understated frames are key to every home and how to make them work for you.

More than a frame for your door

An internal door frame isn’t just a chunk of wood or metal that holds a door in place. It’s a structural necessity to brac your walls and ensure your door swings (or slides) with ease. Whether upgrading your interior or replacing an old frame, the right choice can subtly transform your space. Think of it as the stage for your door’s grand entrance.

Why the right door frame matters

Choosing a door frame might not be the most exciting part of designing or renovating your home, but it’s one of the most important. The right frame does more than hold your door in place – it ties the whole look together, keeps things running smoothly and ensures your door stands the test of time. Whether you’re going for timeless charm or modern simplicity, here’s why getting your door frame just right matters more than you think.

Form and function go hand in hand

Your door frame isn’t just about holding the door in place – it’s about how the door operates and how it fits into your overall design. A well-chosen frame ensures your door swings smoothly, stays secure and complements the look of your home. It’s where practicality meets style, creating a seamless connection between rooms.

A frame for every space

Not all doorways are created equal, and neither are door frames. From wide openings that need sturdy support to compact spaces that call for slim, discreet designs, there’s a frame for every need. Whether a grand entryway or a cosy nook, the right frame ensures your door feels at home.

Durability and detail

Door frames endure constant use, so they need to be as tough as they are stylish. A robust frame will stand up to daily wear while maintaining its appearance. The details matter too – from the grain of the wood to the precision of the angles, these small elements can elevate your frame from functional to fabulous.   

Choosing your sliding door frame: what to keep in mind

Getting the right door frame can be a bit of a puzzle, but it doesn’t have to be hard. A little preparation and thought can save you from headaches later on. Let’s dive deeper into what to consider when making your choice.

1. Measure twice, buy once

Before you even think about picking a frame, grab your tape measure. You’ll need precise measurements of the door opening, as well as the space around it. Sliding doors need enough clearance for the panel to move freely, so check that there’s no furniture, light switches or other obstacles in the way.

For wall-mounted sliding doors, you’ll also need to consider how much wall space the door will cover when fully open. If you’re installing a recessed sliding door, check the cavity space within the wall — it’s often overlooked.

2. Match your materials

Your door frame is part of the bigger picture, so take stock of your room’s style. For a modern, industrial look, steel or black aluminium frames can add drama. Timber frames, on the other hand, bring a softer, more natural aesthetic. Got a Scandi-style home? Pale wood with a matte finish might be just the thing. The key is to create harmony. Your door frame should enhance the design, not compete with it.

3. Think about maintenance

Some materials need more attention than others, so consider how much upkeep you can commit to.

Steel frames: Steel is a heavyweight champion for durability. It’s resistant to wear and tear and can handle high-traffic areas with ease. To keep it looking its best, a regular wipe with a damp cloth is usually all that’s needed. For outdoor frames, ensure they’re treated to resist rust and corrosion, especially in damp or coastal areas.

Wooden frames: Gorgeous and full of personality, but they do need a bit more love. Regular sealing or varnishing will help protect against moisture and warping, especially if you use them in bathrooms or areas with humidity changes.

Composite materials: Low maintenance and durability are great options for those who want a wood look without the hassle. A quick clean now and then will keep them in top shape.

How to keep your door frame in top shape

Once your frame is installed, a little care goes a long way in keeping it functional and looking great. Regularly check the tracks, hinges and rollers for dust, debris or rust — these can lead to annoying bumps, squeaks or misalignment. 

A quick clean with a damp cloth keeps grime at bay, while a gentle wood polish or conditioner adds a protective layer for wooden frames, helping to prevent cracks or drying out. For metal frames, watch for signs of rust and touch them up with a protective coating if needed. Regular maintenance ensures your frame stays strong and smooth for years to come.
