Hi guys, does anyone here knows anyone who sells and installs good quality aluminum frames with wooden doors ? I want nice designs too haha... anyone to recommend ? Thanks!

U have any pic that u can find in google? I'm about to do it for my house. Maybe u can ping me in a week, i can share the photo with you

I also discussed this with my contractor yesterday and he claimed aluminium frame cannot be used with heavy wooden door, hence he suggested either wood or metal frame instead. I am considering aluminium frame for my bedroom door which is near the toilet.

I have not talked to my aluminium door vendor about this though.

There is little reason why you want to use aluminium frame with a wooden door. If you worry about rust, wood will get damaged with moisture too. And aluminium frame cannot support heavy wooden door and you have to install the cheap low quality wooden door which will not last. Stick to metal frame should be fine.

For my case, it's because the bedroom door is adjacent to the toilet and sometime water from the toilets get splashed out to the floor, in contact with the door frame. Door is few cm off the floor and opened most of the time, so avoided the direct contact with water.

i'm going with metal frame and looking for some water repellent stuff to apply to the bottom of the metal door frame on top of existing paint. any suggestion?

sorry, i thought, metal and aluminum are the same thing lol... I guess im going for metal... reason why im changing to metal because of termites problem..

Even with metal frame also you need to be careful what type of wooden door. My bedroom door is those heavy wooden door and after 3-4 years the door start to sagging down because is too heavy. The problem cannot be fix unless you change the entire and redo from start again. Make sure you choose properly

Yes just go ahead with metal frame. It is cheap and widely available. Just put two or three coats of good quality rust protection paint will. Seal the lowermost part with silicone to repel water. It will last a long time.

yeah, going ahead with this plan. thanks for sharing!

Buy 'raw' metal door frame and send for galvanizing b4 installation.

Do u have any contacts ?
