Perhaps you’ve had this experience. Walking through a striking commercial building where no detail was left untouched. But one glaring mismatch catches your eye. Well, here’s a great example of that. Can you spot it? Look carefully and you’ll see that the doors and wall panels in mahogany convey a rich and inviting palate to appreciate, only to be interrupted by a PAINTED metal frame. Argh!
Too often, architects revert to old specs which call for metal frames in rated and non-rated openings. While no options existed a couple decades ago, today with Grandoor Frames there is zero reason NOT to pair wood frames with wood doors. Fire ratings ranging from 20 minute to 90 minute | concealed overhead closers | concealed hinges | rabbeted “hidden” door concepts | and oversized openings | All are now achievable using wood frames. Imagine how much nicer this photo would be with matching wood frames. Mismatch no more!!
Now if finding matching socks was this easy…
