3 Wood Door Frame Problems Solved with FrameSaver®

Have you seen any of the following problems with wooden door frames before?

• Rotting

• Peeling paint

• Warping

• Mold

Of course you have. They’re all too common. Even rookie builders are familiar with the cosmetic and foundational issues caused by flimsy, water-wicking door frames and how to repair the damage caused by warped and rotting wood.

But why spend time fixing it when you could prevent the root causes in the first place?

FrameSaver® products by Endura are made of our hybrid composite materials that offer the best of both wood frames and composite materials without any of the pitfalls like demanding maintenance or fragility.

FrameSaver® frames by Endura are designed with a composite material located at the bottom of the frame that is finger-jointed to wood for a perfect fit that maintains the structural integrity of the frame. FrameSaver delivers the strength and durability of wood with the maintenance-free performance of composite frames.

FrameSaver products prevent these common issues from the get-go:

• Water damage

• Swelling

• Rotting

Water Damage

Moisture and water damage are common problems with wooden building materials. Moisture-wicking wood can cause cosmetic issues like peeling paint and unsightly mold growth, which can then lead to serious foundational problems like rotting and swelling if not handled properly.

FrameSaver composite will never wick water from humid conditions, rain, or standing water like wooden materials. This guarantees FrameSaver door frames, mulls, and brickmoulds are rot proof and maintenance free.

Swelling

Wood swells and shrinks as moisture is absorbed and released during changes in humidity or seasonal weather changes. As wood gains and loses moisture, this can lead to foundational issues like warping, cracking, ill-fitting construction, all of which compromise the stability and reliability of the wood.

FrameSaver materials are immune to changes in temperature and weather, making them the most reliable option for ensuring the structural integrity of your building projects.

Rotting

Rotting wood plagues builders, renovators, and homeowners alike. Exterior door frames can begin to rot as soon as 3 months out from initial construction and installation, and can end up costing around $3,000 dollars to replace.

In order to prevent a total replacement, traditional wooden door frames require time-consuming maintenance and too much hassle.

FrameSaver door frames are crafted with our composite bottom, which will never absorb water or wick moisture from the atmosphere, which prevents mold from forming in the door frame. FrameSaver materials don’t just put off the effects of wood-rot, they prevent it from starting at all.

As you can see, FrameSaver products save time, manpower, and money by preventing the most common maintenance issues altogether. Did we mention they’re backed by an unlimited, transferable lifetime warranty? Not that you’ll ever need it. We’ve never had a claim!
