Transom/Sidelite

Certain situations call out for additional light between rooms, but had been faced with limitations should the opening need to be fire rated wood. Grandoor Frames now offers fire rated sidelites, transoms, and borrowed lites in both 20 minute ratings and 45 minute ratings. See our technical section for sizing options.

STC Sound Ratings

In our loud, “always on” society, SILENCE is truly golden, yet often unattainable. This noisy epidemic is partially due to the fact that the International Building Code (IBC) does not have requirements for minimizing noise through door frames – only walls, windows, etc. Without any requirements, the responsibility falls to astute architects, builders, and developers to ask the questions up front.

Grandoor Frames has independently tested our fire rated door frames with Architectural Testing Inc (Intertek). Our fire-rated wood frames achieved a remarkable STC 40 rating using basic Pemko seals. This is greater than most wood doors on the market today, assuring your desired STC level doesn’t slip through the cracks.

Oversized Frames

Need doorframes (fire rated or not) that are over 36″ in width or 96″ in height? No problem! Wide, tall, deep, and thick doorframes are a common occurrence with Grandoor Frames since we Build to Order. Whether it is a condo in NYC looking to create a 90 minute rated “grand” entrance (9’0 tall or higher), or a commercial application that has to meet ADA requirements, we’ve built it. Some general parameters to keep in mind.

FRAME WIDTH: Up to 48″ wide to accommodate doors

FRAME HEIGHTS: Up to 10′ (call for details)

WALL FRAME DEPTH: 12″ – no maximum.

FRAME THICKNESS:  ¾” up to 3″ thick (and everything in between)

Concealed Closers

A commonly mentioned challenge by design teams of bespoke hotels, condos, senior living, and corporate interiors is the unsightliness of overhead closers on unit entry doors.

In response to their wishes, Grandoor Frames is proud to now offer the design community the ability to CONCEAL THE OVERHEAD CLOSER INSIDE the wood door frame!

Concealed Closer Fire Ratings: 20 minute, 45 minute, 60 minute, and 90 minute options
Wood Veneer Options:  available in both painted and assorted veneers.
Edge Detail: Available in Single Rabbet and Double Rabbet options (can be customized).
Hinge/Strike Legs:  Typically standard ¾” thick, but can be thicker to match frame header.
