Why Choose Aluminum Cladding for New Builds?

Keep your new home looking new for years with our maintenance-free aluminum-clad entry door and garage door frames.

Even in new construction, traditional wood door frames begin absorbing moisture immediately. Seasonal expansion, paint failure, and early-stage rot often appear within just a few years — especially around garage openings and entry doors.

With FrontLine®Aluminum Cladding:

No Maintenance

Freshly painted wood frames look great at closing, but within 3–5 years, the sun and moisture will begin to peel the finish and rot the core. By choosing Frontline Cladding now, you aren’t just finishing a house—you’re eliminating a recurring home maintenance chore before it ever starts. Skip the future scraping, priming, and painting entirely.

Concealed Fasteners

Unlike wood or composite frames that require visible face-nailing, Frontline’s cladding system is engineered with concealed fasteners. Our unique snapping and interlocking design ensures that your entry and garage door frames maintain a smooth, uninterrupted finish. By eliminating unsightly nail heads and the need for messy color-matched caulk plugs, we provide a clean, professional appearance that enhances your home’s architectural design.

Impermeable to Moisture

While wood door frames are essentially sponges that absorb rain and humidity, Frontline’s extruded aluminum is impermeable and doesn’t swell, warp, or wick moisture, protecting the structural wood of your new home. In a new construction environment where ‘sealing the envelope’ is critical, our cladding ensures you’ll never have to worry about the ‘hidden rot’ that can plague traditional wood frames behind the paint, providing you with a foundation that is as dry as it is durable.
