The quality solid pine frame forms the foundation of Trendy doors, ensuring a strong and durable construction. The frame boasts a width of 1 ½’’ and undergoes multiple drying processes in specialized heating chambers to maintain the wood's humidity level at around 8%. Depending on the door model, the frame thickness can range from 1 9/16’’ to 1 ¾’. Trendy doors may feature three core types, depending on the model:

• Solid wood core (comprising natural hardwood filling or MDF)
• Honeycomb core (filled with honeycomb cells, providing added lightness to the door, thereby protecting the hinges from excessive load while retaining high noise reduction and thermal insulation qualities)
• Smart core (incorporating technologically advanced, eco-friendly filling, featuring high-density natural wood fiber for additional durability, noise reduction, and thermal insulation)

Additionally, Trendy doors casings are made of MDF board. With the use of our telescopic L-shaped casings, the thickness of the wall covered by the door frame can be extended to 5-1/2”, eliminating the need for other extensions.

Trendy doors sizes fully comply with US market standards. The regular stock sizes are as follows:

• Widths: 18’’, 24’’, 28’’, 30’’, 32’’, 36’’
• Heights: 80’’, 92 ½’’ The Arvika model is available in heights of 80’’, 84’’, and 96’’. Essentially, the largest possible sizes for Trendy doors custom door slabs, based on the type of finish, are as follows:
• Veneer-coated doors: W: 37 3/4’’, H: 92 1/2’’

• Lacquered doors: W: 39 3/8’’, H: 96 7/16’’

Here are the instructions to accurately measure the size of the rough opening: Measure the width between the studs of the doorway three times (see picture 1) and record the smallest of the three measurements. Measure the height on both sides (see picture 2) and record the smallest measurement. Congratulations! You have now determined the width and height of the rough opening.

Determining Door Slab Size for Various Configurations To determine the door slab size for single and double door configurations, follow these steps: Deduct 2" from the rough opening width and 1 1/4" from the height to ascertain the door slab size.

For example, if the measured width of the rough opening is 35", deduct 2" from the width to determine the door slab size.

The 2-inch reduction in width accounts for the standard jamb thickness of 3/4" on each side. This leaves a 1/2" space for construction foam.

After subtracting 2" from the width, the resulting value will indicate the suitable standard door width for the 33" wide opening, which would be 32". Any remaining space can be filled with construction foam and covered with prefinished casings.

The standard width of Trendy doors casings is 3 1/2". For barn, magic, bi-fold, bypass, and pocket door systems: Please refer to the manuals provided by the hardware manufacturers for specific instructions.

A jamb extension serves to widen the frame by filling the depth of the wall space from the inside face of the door frame to the face of the wall. When the wall thickness exceeds the standard jamb width, extensions are necessary. Trendy doors jamb extensions are typically constructed from MDF and provide a clean edge for the casing trim to be nailed to or inserted if it is a telescopic L-casing. With these extensions, Trendy doors frames can accommodate walls ranging from 4 7/8” to 6 7/8” in thickness.

A typical US rough opening comprises: One key component is the wall stud. Studs are commonly constructed from wood, typically 2"×4" or 2"×6" dimensional lumber and usually spaced 16 inches (406 mm) apart at their centers, although they may also be spaced at 12 inches (305 mm) or 24 inches (610 mm). It is important for the wood to be dry when used, as issues can arise if the studs shrink and twist as they dry out.

Taking this into consideration, the actual dimensions of the framing studs are as follows: The standard 2"×4" or 2"×6" wall assembly looks like this:

Studs with insulation filling in between and a layer of drywall on both sides of the structure. The drywall typically has a thickness of 5/8’’. Sometimes multiple layers of drywall are utilized. This information is crucial when determining the thickness of the wall, as it ultimately determines whether an extension is necessary.
