Manufactured from solid meranti timber, a dense and durable hardwood widely used in South African door and window joinery, it is supplied unassembled and suits both interior and exterior installations.
The 56 x 80mm timber section provides a robust, rigid frame profile that accommodates standard door hardware and offers excellent longevity in residential and light commercial applications.
