Door Frames

Half the complaints in this trade are frame problems wearing a door problem costume. We make the frame with the leaf, from the same batch of timber.

Sections and profiles

Rebated single-rebate frames for standard leaves, double-rebate for pairs, and deeper sections where the frame has to bridge a plastered brick wall. Architraves are cut to match and mitred at the mill so the site joint is a nail, not a saw cut.

Ground contact and termites

Frames destined for ground floor openings are pressure-treated before machining and get a hardwood or stone plinth block at the foot, keeping raw end grain away from a wet screed. Termite risk in Penang is real and the detail matters more than the chemical.

Export sets

We ship complete frame sets, knocked down and bundled with their fixings and a fitting sheet, to distributors across the region. Every bundle is stencil-free, wrapped and cornered so it lands in the same shape it left.
