Pre Hung Exterior Door Composite Frame


I thought I remember someone made a standard prehung exterior door with a no rot frame.
At least bottom of frame was made of PVC or composite.

Have a job I would like to use one on but cant find or remember the manufactor.

Regular wood frame seem to last only if you have a roof over it or put on a storm door to protect the frame.

Re: Pre Hung Exterior Door Composite Frame


You have no luck with your supplier? Sounds like a good product, but i have not heard of it yet. And are you talkin bout the jamb or the brickmold frame?

Re: Pre Hung Exterior Door Composite Frame


FYI, around here that composite bottom 6" or so of jamb and brickmoulding is an "option" with Therma-Tru. If you don't spec it you will get an all wood jamb.
