Frequently Asked Questions
What are door frames & linings?
Door liners are another name for our door frames, providing a strong and stable structure for hanging internal doors. Installed directly into the wall, they ensure a secure and professional fit. At Door Station, our specialists select only premium engineered door liners, offering superior durability and stability for long-lasting performance in your home.
How tall is a door frame?
The standard height of a door frame in the UK is typically 1981mm (6 feet 6 inches), designed to fit a standard internal door. However, external door frames can vary, with common sizes around 2085mm (6 feet 10 inches). Bespoke door and frame kits can also be made to custom heights if required.
How do you replace a door frame?
To replace a door frame, start by carefully removing the old frame, ensuring minimal damage to the surrounding wall. Clear any debris and check that the opening is level and square. Position the new door frame in place, using packers for a precise fit, then secure it to the wall with screws, checking alignment as you go. Fill any gaps with sealant or expanding foam for insulation, then sand and paint or finish as needed. For an easier installation, a pre-made door frame pack includes all necessary components for a perfect fit.
How do you paint door frames?
For a smooth and professional finish, start by cleaning and lightly sanding the door frame to remove dirt, dust, and old paint. Apply a suitable primer, especially if painting over bare wood or a dark colour. Use a high-quality, durable paint like satin, gloss, or eggshell for a long-lasting result. Paint in even strokes with a small brush, following the wood grain, and apply at least two coats, allowing proper drying time between layers. For added protection, especially on external door frames, consider a sealant or topcoat to enhance durability.
