Buy door frame profile: how to assemble an interior door frame from a wooden profile

It is worth buying a door frame profile not when "some kind of trim around the door is needed", but when you need to assemble a neat, durable, and stylistically cohesive door unit. An interior door works not only as a panel on hinges. Its appearance and convenience depend on the entire system: the frame, the groove for the seal, the platbands, the wall junctions, the decorative millwork, the hardware, and the future painting. If the frame is chosen randomly, even a good door leaf can look out of place in the opening.

A buyer often starts with a request to "buy an interior door frame", but quickly faces a choice: take a ready-made kit or assemble a frame from a profile. A ready-made frame is convenient when the dimensions are standard and the task is simple. A profile is needed when the material, geometry, painting to match the interior, a groove for the seal, a neat fit, and the ability to connect the doorway with other wooden millwork are important. This is especially relevant for carpentry workshops, door manufacturers, designers, and those who assemble an interior opening not from random elements, but as part of the interior.

In the STAVROS catalog you can Buy door frame profile DK-001 for framing interior door openings. The profile is designed for painting with enamels, has a groove for a seal with a width of 3.4 mm, a base of birch plywood 18 mm thick, and a front part made of two glued layers of deep-milled MDF. This is not a decorative platband or facade molding, but a structural profile from which the frame around the door leaf is formed.

Let's break down when a door frame profile is needed, how DK-001 differs from similar products, how to assemble an interior door frame from a profile, what to buy together, and what mistakes most often lead to warping, poor leaf fit, and an untidy opening appearance.

When a door frame profile is needed

A door frame profile is needed in cases where the door opening must be assembled precisely, neatly, and considering future finishing. This is not just a decorative strip. The frame holds the door leaf, forms the geometry of the opening, sets the fit, affects the operation of the seal, and becomes a visible part of the interior. Therefore, choosing a profile cannot be postponed to the final stage of renovation.

For assembling an interior door frame

The main scenario is assembling a frame for an interior door. If the door leaf has already been selected or is being made for the project, the frame must match it in size, thickness, geometry, and style. The DK-001 profile is used specifically as an element for framing interior door openings. It can be cut and assembled into a unit with proper measurement, preparation of the uprights and top crossbar.

An interior door frame must maintain straight geometry. If the uprights lean to the side, if the top crossbar is skewed, if the profile is chosen without considering the leaf, the door starts to close poorly, catch, create uneven gaps, or look sloppy. Therefore, buying a profile is not only a matter of appearance but also a matter of correct assembly of the unit.

For framing a door opening

Even when a door already exists, the opening may look unfinished. Old frames often do not match the new interior, have traces of repairs, pair poorly with platbands, or are not suitable for future painting. A door frame profile helps to re-form the visible base of the opening, especially if the entire interior is being assembled in a unified palette.

In classic, neoclassical, and modern interiors, the door frame should be calm, even, and connected to the architraves. If the frame looks random, the opening immediately reveals a careless renovation. If the profile is chosen correctly, the door is perceived as part of the wall and furniture, rather than an element inserted later.

For installing the seal

The DK-001 profile has a 3.4 mm groove for installing a seal. This is an important design feature. The seal helps the door leaf fit more tightly, makes closing more precise, reduces the feeling of impact, and improves the door's performance in daily use.

The groove for the seal cannot be considered a minor detail. If it is absent, the seal has to be selected and installed by other means, which does not always look neat. If the groove is present, you need to select a suitable seal for this size in advance and check how it will work with the specific door leaf.

For painting the frame to match the interior

DK-001 is designed for painting with enamels of various colors. This is convenient when the door, frame, architraves, and moldings need to be in the same color scheme. For example, in white enamel, in a complex wall shade, in the color of the door leaf, or in a contrasting interior solution.

A paintable profile is especially useful for design projects. In them, the frame should not be "approximately similar" in color. It must fit into the overall scheme: door, architrave, baseboard, wall panel, decorative molding. If the profile is designed for painting, it is easier to achieve a cohesive result.

For replacing an old frame without purchasing a ready-made door unit

Sometimes a buyer does not want to replace the entire door unit. The leaf may be in good condition, but the frame is outdated, damaged, does not match the color, or looks bad after renovation. In such a case, replacing the frame with a profile can be considered. But it is important to understand: this requires measurements, cutting, geometry checks, and careful assembly.

The profile is suitable for those who are willing to work with precise dimensions or hire a professional. If you need a completely ready-made unit that you can "install and forget," it is better to look for another solution. But if the task is to assemble a frame for a specific opening and finish, the profile offers more flexibility.

What is the DK-001 door frame profile

The DK-001 profile is a structural linear element for framing interior door openings. It differs from a regular platband in that it participates in forming the frame around the door leaf, rather than just covering the joint between the frame and the wall. It includes a groove for a seal, and the construction is made of plywood and MDF.

This table is important not only for a quick introduction to the product. It helps to understand that DK-001 is not a universal decorative strip. Its size, thickness, groove, and multi-layer construction are related to the door frame function. The buyer should check these parameters against the door leaf, opening, and future architraves before ordering, not after delivery.

Profile purpose

The purpose of DK-001 is to form the frame part of an interior door unit. It is suitable for framing an opening and working with a door leaf if the project involves assembling a frame from a profile. This product is especially useful for workshops that make custom doors and for design projects where a standard frame does not achieve the desired result.

The profile helps to assemble the opening with cleaner geometry and prepare it for uniform painting. If the interior already has wooden moldings, architraves, decorative trims, or carved baguettes, a frame made from a suitable profile integrates more easily with the overall finish.

Material and workmanship

The profile base is made of 18 mm thick birch plywood. This base is needed for strength, load resistance, and maintaining the geometry of the doorway. The front part consists of two glued layers of deep-milled MDF. This multi-layer structure reduces the risk of warping and helps achieve a neat front surface for painting.

For the buyer, this means one simple thing: DK-001 does not look like a random strip made of a single material. It is assembled as a working profile, where the base and the front part perform different tasks. Plywood is responsible for the base and stability, while MDF is responsible for the front finish and paintable surface.

Groove for seal

The 3.4 mm wide groove is one of the key features of DK-001. It is needed for installing the seal. The seal helps the door leaf fit more tightly, reduces noise when closing, and improves the feeling of a neat door operation.

Before purchasing, you need not just to note the presence of the groove, but to check which seal will be used. If the seal does not fit in size, the fit will be poor. If it is too hard or too soft, closing the door may become uncomfortable. Therefore, it is better to consider the profile and seal together.

Compatibility with enamel painting

DK-001 is intended for painting with enamels of various colors. This is an important advantage for interiors where the door group should not just be wooden, but painted in a specific shade. The frame can match the leaf, casing, wall, or decorative trim.

For a good result, you need to decide in advance how the entire assembly will look: frame, casing, leaf, handle, trim. If painting is done after assembly, you need to account for joints, corners, wall abutments, and the seal groove. If elements are painted separately, it is important to avoid color mismatch.

Where it is used in an interior doorway

DK-001 is used around the interior door leaf as a frame profile. It forms the jambs and top header, helps set the leaf fit, prepare the space for the seal, and create a neat visible contour. It should not be confused with the casing: the casing covers the joint between the frame and the wall, while the frame profile is part of the assembly itself.

Interior door frame: buy ready-made or assemble from a profile

The query "buy interior door frame" can lead to two different solutions. The first is to buy a ready-made frame. The second is to assemble it from a profile. Both options make sense but are suitable for different situations.

When a ready-made box is convenient

A ready-made box is convenient if the door is standard, the opening is level, the style is simple, the finish already matches, and the buyer does not want to deal with profile selection, trimming, and painting. This option is often chosen for mass renovations when speed is important.

But a ready-made frame does not always solve the design problem. It may not match the color of the future enamel, not fit the chosen architraves, lack the required groove for the seal, or look too simple next to wooden moldings.

When a profile is more advantageous

A profile is more advantageous in terms of meaning when flexibility is needed. For example, the door is made to order, the frame will be painted in the desired color, the opening requires careful adjustment, and architraves, moldings, or decorative trims are planned around it. In this case, the profile allows for a more precise assembly of the unit.

If you need to buy a door frame profile, DK-001 should be considered as the basis for such a solution. It provides clear dimensions, a groove for the seal, and a paintable surface. But the profile requires work: measuring, cutting, assembling, checking geometry, and preparing for painting.

What to check before purchasing

Before purchasing, you need to check the width of the opening, the height of the opening, the wall thickness, the door leaf size, the opening direction, the need for a seal, the future architrave, and the finishing method. An error in one parameter can lead to the profile having to be redone.

It is also important to understand in advance which elements will be nearby. If only a profile is needed, that is one order. If a complete door unit needs to be assembled, along with it you should consider architraves, carved moldings, seals, decorative elements, handles, and fittings.

What mistakes occur when selecting a profile

The most common mistake is perceiving the profile as ordinary molding. The buyer sees a long piece and thinks it can be used anywhere. But the door frame profile has its own purpose. It cannot be replaced by a casing or molding without losing functionality.

The second mistake is buying a profile without measuring the door leaf. The frame is assembled around the door, not separately from it. The third is forgetting about the sealant. If a groove is provided, you need to understand in advance which sealant will fit there and how the door will close. The fourth is not considering the paint finish: the frame, platband, and leaf may end up with different shades.

How to assemble an interior door frame from a profile

The query "how to assemble an interior door frame" often sounds like an instruction, but in reality it is primarily a question of correct purchasing. The frame can only be assembled when the profile, leaf, opening, sealant, and trim are coordinated in advance. Without this, installation turns into on-site adjustment.

Measuring the opening

Start with the opening. You need to measure the height, width, wall thickness, and check the verticals and horizontals. The opening may not be perfect: walls often have deviations, especially after renovation or removal of an old frame. If the frame is assembled only to the nominal size, it may not fit evenly.

Measurements should be taken at several points. Width — at the top, middle, and bottom. Height — on both sides. Wall thickness — in several places. This helps determine whether adjustment, additional solutions, or a different way of finishing the junction will be needed.

Calculating the profile length

The DK-001 profile has a length of 2400 mm. A standard frame requires two vertical posts and a top crossbar. However, the exact calculation depends on the door leaf size, opening height, connection method, element thickness, and trimming allowances. You cannot simply multiply the door height by two and add the width: you need to consider the actual assembly scheme.

It is better to plan the cutting before ordering. If there is not enough profile, you will have to buy more. If you buy too much without calculation, the surplus increases. This is especially important for a workshop: in serial or project work, proper cutting saves material and reduces the risk of errors.

Preparation of posts and top crossbar

The vertical posts and the top part of the frame are formed from the profile. Precision of the cut is important here. An uneven end will result in a gap, misalignment, or poor connection. If the frame is to be painted, the joints must be especially neat because enamel reveals geometry.

Before assembly, you need to check where the groove for the seal will be, how it is positioned relative to the door leaf, whether the sides are not mixed up, and whether the opening direction is correctly chosen. This seems like a small detail, but mistakes at this stage often lead to rework.

Geometry check

The frame must be rectangular. You need to check the diagonals, the verticality of the posts, the horizontality of the top crossbar, and the gaps around the door leaf. If the geometry is compromised, the door will close poorly, catch, or have uneven gaps.

The profile itself will not fix a crooked opening. It provides a base, but assembly requires control. Therefore, when working independently, you should not rush, and for a complex opening, it is better to involve a professional.

Seal installation

The seal is placed in the profile groove. The DK-001 has a 3.4 mm groove. Before installation, you need to select a seal that fits properly in terms of fit and behavior. A seal that is too unsuitable can interfere with closing or, conversely, fail to provide the necessary contact.

It is better to consider the seal as part of the door assembly, not as a small fitting at the end. It affects the sound of closing, the feeling of density, and the neatness of the door's operation.

Final painting

DK-001 involves painting with enamels. Painting should be planned in advance. If the profile, platbands, and decorative moldings are painted together, a more cohesive look can be achieved. If each element is painted separately, it is important to ensure the shade and surface quality match.

Before painting, the surface must be prepared, joints checked, defects removed, and care taken not to fill the seal groove or damage the fit. Enamel looks good on neat geometry but highlights mistakes.

What to buy for a complete door unit

Purchasing DK-001 profile often brings along related products. This is not a drawback but normal logic. A door frame does not exist on its own: nearby you need platbands, moldings, decorative corners, seals, hardware, sometimes handles, and elements for finishing the door leaf.

If the buyer only limits themselves to the profile, they get the box base. If the task is broader — the interior door should look like a finished unit — it's better to think through the entire set right away. This is especially relevant for enamel doors, classic interiors, doors in living rooms, studies, bedrooms, and hallways where the opening is constantly in sight.

What to buy together with the door frame profile

With the DK-001 profile, customers often buy not one item but a set. Below is a practical table that helps understand what is really needed and what depends on the project.

Not all items from the table are needed by every customer. If only the box is required, the profile and necessary installation materials are sufficient. If the entire doorway is being finished, architraves will be needed. If the door should look more decorative, carved moldings can be added. If furniture or facades are being updated nearby, handles and fittings will help tie the interior together.

Wooden trim for the doorway and door leaf

The door frame is responsible for the structure, while moldings help design the visible part of the door and opening. Carved moldings do not replace DK-001 but can complement it. For example, they can be used to create a decorative frame on the door leaf, emphasize the central area, tie the door to a classic interior, or repeat furniture motifs.

When needed Wooden molding for door opening, it is important not to confuse it with the frame. Moldings can run along the surface, creating a frame, line, or decorative contour. But they do not hold the door leaf and do not form the frame part. Therefore, they are purchased together with the profile, not instead of the profile.

Carved trim K-011 is decorative in nature and can be used where the door should be more expressive. If the interior is strict, it should be used carefully. If the style is classic, neoclassical, or eclectic, carved trim helps make the door leaf richer.

For a more pronounced design, you can consider carved molding K-031. It is suitable for decorative frames, but requires equally careful selection by scale. A too active line on a small door leaf can overload the door. On a tall door or in a formal interior, a more expressive trim looks more appropriate.

Wooden door trims: why they do not replace the frame

The casing covers the joint between the door frame and the wall. This is its main role. It completes the opening, hides the installation seam, and connects the door to the wall. However, the casing does not form the frame and does not replace the DK-001 profile. If the customer specifically needs a frame for an interior door, purchasing just a casing will not solve the problem.

In the catalog, you can select Wooden architraves for doors to match the style of the opening. This is especially important if the frame is painted with enamel and must be neatly finished around the perimeter. The trim can be simple, shaped, more classic, or restrained — the choice depends on the interior and the frame profile.

If the frame is assembled from DK-001, the trim is selected after understanding the wall thickness, the width of the abutment, and the future finish. You cannot choose a trim based solely on appearance. It must cover the actual joint, not conflict with the door leaf, not interfere with opening, and match the style of the frame.

How not to confuse the door frame profile with similar products

There are many products in the molding that look similar: profiles, moldings, casings, baseboards, baguettes, corner elements, decorative strips. But each product serves its own purpose. A mistake in purpose leads to an incorrect purchase.

Door frame profile

A door frame profile is a structural part for assembling the frame around the door leaf. It participates in the door assembly, determines the fit, may have a groove for a seal, and must be coordinated with the leaf. DK-001 belongs to this group.

Casing

The casing covers the joint between the frame and the wall. It is decorative but does not replace the frame. If there is no properly assembled frame in the opening, the casing will not solve the problem. Its task begins after the frame is already in place.

Carved molding

Carved molding is used for decorative finishing of the door leaf, frames, wall compositions, and openings. It can be very beautiful but does not perform the function of a frame. It is purchased as an addition if the door needs to be made more expressive.

Molding

Molding often works as a decorative applied line. It can decorate a wall, facade, door, or frame. But molding is not designed to serve as a frame around the leaf, unless specified in its purpose. Do not replace DK-001 with regular molding.

Door frame

A door frame is a finished or assembled unit. A profile is a part from which this unit can be formed. Therefore, the query "buy a door frame for an interior door" can mean either a ready-made kit or purchasing a profile for assembly.

Corner decorative element

The corner element completes the frame but does not serve the function of a door frame. For example, corner decorative element for a frame it can be useful for decorative finishing of the panel or wall frame, but it does not replace the frame profile.

Practical selection for different situations

Need to assemble a frame for a new door leaf

Start with the dimensions of the leaf and the opening. Then check if DK-001 fits in size and function. Calculate two uprights and a top crossbar. Immediately consider the seal, architraves, and future painting. Do not buy a profile without understanding which leaf will be installed.

Need to replace an old frame

First, disassemble or at least accurately measure the old unit. Check the wall thickness, the condition of the opening, the opening direction, gaps, and the space for the casing. If the old door leaf remains, the profile must be selected to match it. If the leaf is also being replaced, it is better to recalculate the entire unit.

The opening needs to be finished for enamel painting.

DK-001 is intended for painting with enamels. This is a good option if the door, frame, and casings should be the same color. It is better to select casings and moldings right away so that all elements are painted in the same logic. Different batches of finish and different surfaces may perceive color differently, so preparation is important.

A door in a classic style needs to be made.

A single frame profile may not be enough. The frame provides the base, but the classic character is often created by casings, carved moldings, decorative panels, and corner elements. Here, the DK-001 profile is best considered as a structural base, and the decorative details as an addition.

The joint between the frame and the wall needs to be covered.

For this task, you need a casing, not a frame profile. If the frame is already installed and working properly, you can select casings. But if the frame itself is damaged, warped, or does not fit the door leaf, the casing will only hide the edge and not solve the main problem.

The door unit needs to be updated together with the furniture.

Sometimes a door is updated not separately, but together with furniture in the hallway, bedroom, or dressing room. In that case, you should look not only at the frame and casings but also at handles, moldings, and hardware. For example, if nearby facades or cabinets are being replaced, shell-shaped furniture handles they can support the overall style, even though they are not a door frame.

What not to do from scratch if you have a ready-made DK-001 profile

The query 'how to assemble an interior door frame' often comes from people who are ready to do some of the work themselves. But this does not mean that the profile needs to be made from scratch. Making a frame profile from scratch is a complex task: you need to select the material, ensure geometry, form the front part, make a groove for the seal, and prepare the surface for painting.

The ready-made DK-001 removes a significant part of this work. The buyer does not need to assemble a multi-layer structure from plywood and MDF themselves. There is no need to mill a groove for the seal without experience. There is no need to look for a random batten and try to turn it into a door frame. You can take a ready-made profile and focus on correct measuring, cutting, assembly, installation, and painting.

This is especially important for a neat result. The door frame is in sight every day. An uneven line, a poor joint, or a crooked groove will be noticeable. A ready-made profile does not eliminate skill, but it helps to start with the correct part, not an unsuitable blank.

Mistakes when buying a door frame profile

Buying a profile without measuring the opening

Even a good profile will not fit if the opening is not measured. You need to know the height, width, wall thickness, and condition of the slopes. Without this, it is impossible to correctly calculate the uprights and the top crossbar.

Not considering the size of the door leaf

The frame is assembled around the leaf. If the leaf hasn't been chosen yet, the profile is bought blindly. If the leaf is already available, you need to check its dimensions and gaps. The frame cannot be considered separately from the door.

Confusing the profile with the casing

The casing covers the joint, while the profile forms the frame. If you buy casings instead of the profile, you won't be able to assemble the frame. If you buy the profile instead of the casing, the joint with the wall will remain unfinished.

Not checking the groove for the seal

The DK-001 has a 3.4 mm groove, but the seal must be selected separately based on the task. If you forget this, the door assembly may be incomplete. If you choose an unsuitable seal, the door may close poorly.

Not planning the painting

The profile is designed for painting with enamels, but a good result requires preparation. You need to decide whether the frame, casing, trim, and panel will be painted together. If not, differences in shade and gloss are possible.

Using decorative trim as a structural profile

Carved trim is beautiful, but it is not a door frame. It can be used to decorate the panel or opening, but not instead of DK-001. Each product has its own function.

Buying hardware without an overall scheme

Hardware, handles, and decorative elements must support the door assembly. If the door and nearby furniture are being updated, you can look STAVROS furniture fittings, but it is important not to mix door and furniture tasks without a project.

Who is the DK-001 door frame profile suitable for

DK-001 is suitable for carpentry workshops that assemble custom interior doors and want a profile with clear parameters. It is suitable for door manufacturers who need a base for a paintable frame. It is useful for designers when the door opening must match the interior concept rather than look like a standard block.

The profile is suitable for private clients who are renovating with a craftsman and want to assemble a door assembly for a specific opening. It is appropriate in projects where the door, frame, casings, and trim are painted in one color. It is suitable for those who want to select wooden and MDF components in a unified style.

DK-001 is also interesting for those who are updating an old door but do not want to buy a completely ready-made door unit. If the door leaf is suitable but the frame is outdated or does not match the interior, the profile can be considered as a base for a new unit.

Who should choose a different solution

The door frame profile will not suit those who are looking for a fully finished door unit with a door leaf, frame, architraves, hinges, and hardware in one set. DK-001 is a profile, not a finished door.

It will not suit those who do not plan to take measurements, cut, and assemble. The profile requires work. If there is no craftsman or experience, it is better to decide in advance who will perform the installation.

It is not needed for those who only need to close the joint between the frame and the wall. For that, choose an architrave. It will not replace a metal frame if the project requires a metal solution. It also does not solve the tasks of an entrance door: the DK-001 topic is related to interior openings.

How to buy a door frame profile at STAVROS

Start with the DK-001 card and carefully check the dimensions: 100 × 42 × 2400 mm. Then evaluate the material — plywood/MDF, groove for seal 3.4 mm, sanding quality, order status, and possibility of painting with enamels. After that, compare the parameters with your opening and door leaf.

If you only need the frame, calculate the profile. If you need a complete door unit, immediately select Wooden architraves for doors, if necessary wooden moldings STAVROS and decorative elements. If the panel will be decorated with a frame, you can look Wooden molding for door opening or carved molding K-031.

Before ordering, it is better to prepare the opening dimensions, wall thickness, panel size, color preferences, trim scheme, and a list of related parts. If the opening is non-standard, it is worth checking compatibility and the selection procedure with a STAVROS manager.

FAQ

Where to buy a door frame profile?

The door frame profile DK-001 can be purchased in the STAVROS catalog. Before ordering, you need to check the size 100 × 42 × 2400 mm, the material plywood/MDF, the groove for the seal 3.4 mm, and compatibility with your door panel.

Can an interior door frame be assembled from the DK-001 profile?

Yes, the profile is designed for finishing the opening of interior doors and can be used as an element of the door frame with proper measurement, cutting, and assembly. It is important to check the dimensions of the panel and opening in advance.

How does the door frame profile differ from the casing?

The profile forms the frame around the door panel. The trim covers the joint between the frame and the wall. The trim does not replace the frame, and the frame does not cover the entire decorative perimeter of the wall without the trim.

Why is a groove for the seal needed?

The groove allows the installation of a seal, which improves the fit of the leaf, makes closing the door more precise, and helps reduce noise when the leaf contacts the frame.

What is the groove for the seal on the DK-001?

The DK-001 profile has a groove width of 3.4 mm. Before purchasing the seal, you need to check compatibility with this size.

What is the DK-001 profile made of?

The base is made of 18 mm thick birch plywood. The front part consists of two glued layers of deep-milled MDF, each 12 mm thick. In the product card, the material is listed as plywood/MDF.

Can the DK-001 profile be painted?

Yes, the profile is designed for painting with enamels of various colors. Before painting, you need to prepare the surface, check the joints, and avoid damaging the groove for the seal.

What should I buy together with the door frame profile?

Usually, platbands, a seal, decorative moldings, corner elements, fasteners, and fittings are selected together. The set depends on whether you are assembling only the frame or the entire door unit.

Can DK-001 be replaced with a regular molding?

No, if you specifically need a door frame. Molding usually serves a decorative function, while the door frame profile is involved in assembling the unit around the door leaf.

When is it better to buy a ready-made frame rather than a profile?

A ready-made box is convenient for standard doors and quick installation. The profile is better suited for painting projects, non-standard openings, workshop work, and cases where you need to connect the box with trims and moldings.

How to calculate the amount of profile?

You need to measure two vertical posts and the top crossbar, consider the connection method, allowances for trimming, and the size of the door leaf. Since the length of DK-001 is 2400 mm, it is better to plan the cutting before ordering.

Is DK-001 suitable for an entrance door?

The article discusses interior doors. DK-001 is designed for framing an interior door opening. For entrance doors, the requirements for the frame are different, so you need to choose a profile according to its purpose.

What to do if you only need a beautiful perimeter around the door?

If the frame is already installed and the task is only decorative, look at trims, moldings, and casing. If you need to assemble the frame itself, you need a door frame profile.

Can carved moldings be used together with DK-001?

Yes, but for a different task. DK-001 forms the frame, while carved moldings can decorate the door leaf, frame, or opening. It is important not to confuse decorative and structural functions.

Result: door frame profile is the basis of a neat interior door unit

A door frame profile is needed where an interior door must be assembled precisely, neatly, and with a uniform finish. DK-001 helps form the frame around the door leaf, provides a 3.4 mm groove for the seal, is suitable for painting with enamels, and is built on a combination of plywood and MDF. It is not a casing, molding, or decorative strip, but a profile for the frame assembly.

If the task is simply to close the joint between the frame and the wall, casings are needed. If you need to decorate the door leaf, carved millwork will do. If you need to assemble an interior door frame, you should start with DK-001 and check the opening, door leaf, seal, paint, and related elements in advance.

STAVROS allows you to assemble a door unit not from random parts, but from interconnected products: frame profile, casings, millwork, decorative elements, and hardware. It is best to start the selection with the product card, where you can Buy door frame profile DK-001, and then supplement the order with the elements that are needed specifically for your opening.
