What is Door Frame Timber?

Door frame timber refers to the structural wooden framework that surrounds and supports a door, ensuring smooth operation and long-term durability. It typically consists of vertical jambs and a horizontal head, forming a stable structure where the door is hung using hinges.

Timber door frames are widely used in both residential and commercial properties due to their strength, versatility, and natural insulation properties. Whether for internal or external applications, they provide essential support while enhancing the overall finish of the doorway.
