Why Choose Aluminum Clad Outswing Door Frames?

FrontLine Aluminum Outswing Door Frame Cladding: Resisting the Forces of Nature™

Outswing entry doors are becoming increasingly popular in modern homes because they provide excellent weather performance, maximize interior space, and can offer enhanced security. However, because the door frame is exposed directly to the elements, protecting it is more important than ever.

FrontLine’s Outswing Door Frame Cladding surrounds your wood door frame with durable extruded aluminum, helping protect it from rain, snow, UV exposure, and everyday wear. The result is a beautiful, low-maintenance entryway that stays looking new for years—without the constant scraping and repainting.

Concealed Fasteners

Say goodbye to scraping, sanding, and repainting. FrontLine Outswing Door Frame Cladding protects your wood frame with durable aluminum, resisting rot, weather, and everyday wear while keeping your entryway looking beautiful with virtually no maintenance.

No Maintenance

Spend less time on upkeep and more time enjoying your home. FrontLine Outswing Door Frame Cladding eliminates the need for scraping, sanding, or repainting, while protecting your wood door frame from moisture, rot, and the elements for years of worry-free performance.

Impermeable to Moisture

Because outswing door frames are more exposed to rain, snow, and the elements, moisture protection is critical. FrontLine’s aluminum cladding creates a durable barrier that helps keep water away from the wood frame, reducing the risk of rot, swelling, and premature deterioration while ensuring long-lasting performance.

Why Homeowners Choose FrontLine’s Aluminum-Clad Patio Door Frames

A beautiful patio door can quickly lose its appeal when the frame begins showing signs of weather damage.

Traditional wood frames are constantly exposed to rain, snow, humidity, UV rays, and temperature swings. Over time, this can lead to:

  • Rot and decay
  • Peeling paint
  • Cracked trim
  • Warped frames
  • Expensive repairs

FrontLine’s aluminum cladding acts as a protective shield around the frame, helping prevent moisture intrusion and eliminating the need for ongoing painting and maintenance.

Outswing Clad Frames:

  • Heavy-duty 0.062 min. wall
  • Baked-on wet paint finish
  • No exterior exposed fasteners
  • Pre-routered hinge and latch cutouts
  • Single or double doors
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty

No, the factory-finished aluminum is designed to eliminate the ongoing maintenance associated with exposed wood frames.

Very little. Unlike exposed wood frames, aluminum-clad frames eliminate the need for routine scraping, sanding, and painting. Because our aluminum is non-porous and impermeable, dirt and environmental grime don’t “soak in” like they do with wood. A simple rinse with a garden hose or a wipe with a damp cloth is usually all it takes to keep it looking brand new.
