Metal frames around doors add durability to the framing structure. When you have an expensive wood door, painting the metal frame a solid color distracts from its beauty. To showcase the door, we suggest wood graining the door frame to match. The frame can be grained with the colors of your door and/or exterior. The frame also can be wood grained to match the exact grain of the wood.
An example of this is shown in the frames that match expensive knotty alderwood doors in an exclusive Park City condominium. The contractor wanted the doors to be the main focus without the distraction of the metal. By woodgraining the frames, the focus remained on the doors. The grained frames added the to beauty of the doors.
Woodgraining the metal frame to match a building's exterior and the door's colors adds visual beauty. The door seems larger because the matching metal frames don't define the door size. The same principle applies when woodgraining a metal door. The door frame can be grained to match the grain of the metal doors.
Wood casings can be woodgrained to match a door. Sometimes the wood casing is a different wood than the door. The casing takes the stain differently. By woodgraining and color matching the stain used on the frame, the casing will not be a distraction.
Not every painter or painting contractor can wood grain a door to look authentic. It takes someone who can match colors on site. By mixing colors on site, the match will be more exact.
Make sure your painter is a knowledgeable artist with experience.
