When specifying a certified door we have to make different decisions such as design, finish, hardware, type of frame, chambranes, etc., but, what was thought to be fixed, was the choice of a certified metal frame.
This no longer has to be so, today we can find options in wood that can be adapted in cost and design to your project. The thought of not opting for a certified wood frame due to cost or lack of options is a thing of the past and we are beginning a new era of having a harmonious and unique design in each project.
Here are some advantages of being able to use a wood frame in a certified solution.
Aesthetics
In a project where the protagonist is the natural, the wood, it is impossible not to highlight a metal frame in the middle of the door, chambrana and wood panels. This causes a visual discord for the viewer. By choosing a wood frame you can choose the same species and finish as the doors to achieve the perfect intonation, a visual continuity in all the products that derives in a perfect aesthetic.
Acoustics
Wood is an optimal product when looking for sound reduction due to the internal fibers of which it is composed, an acoustic door opening works perfectly with a wood frame with its respective seals.
Installation
Wood is lighter weight which allows for better handling, less time and fewer mishandling incidents. A wood frame is safe to install and is easier to work with for adjustments than metal.
Oxidation
Wood does not oxidize in saline conditions.
Thermal Insulation
Wood has a greater capacity to insulate heat. This generates less cooling costs.
Environmental Certifications
Due to its composition, there are some suppliers of FSC certified wood adding a higher valuation by environmental agencies.
Choosing and specifying a wood frame will not only maintain the desired design but will also generate all the advantages and benefits listed above.
