Prefinished Doors & Frames

    Lasting Weather Resistant Finishes

    Choosing prefinished steel doors is a smart way to save time, reduce mess, and ensure a consistent, high-quality finish. These doors eliminate the need for onsite painting, which can often lead to uneven results, unexpected delays, and added labor costs. Instead, they arrive ready to install, with a durable factory-applied coating that meets industry standards.

    These commercial-grade finishes comply with ANSI/SDI A250.3, assuring a minimum level of weather resistance and adhesion. Prefinished doors and frames are painted in a dust-free, environmentally-controlled setting for a quality coating with consistent adhesion.

    With onsite painting, you have to deal with VOC emissions and cross your fingers that you get a good painter.  Not only do prefinished doors help streamline installation, but they also enhance the overall appearance of a space with reliable color consistency and a clean, professional look. Specifying prefinished steel doors and frames can be a good way to eliminate prep time at the jobsite and ensure a durable and striking finish.
