Veneered jambs offer a more
economical option when the door
and frame are of matching species
and will be stained. A veneered fir
jamb with a 4-9/16" width would
typically be used with a fir door as
shown in the photo above.
Solid Jamb
Made from a solid piece of wood and can be trimmed to custom jamb
widths. Solid jambs provide a stainable frame that can be trimmed for
custom sized applications. This is typical in an older home where the
door and frame are replaced within an existing opening.
Veneered Jamb
Veneered is applied to a wood core. It provides a lower cost option
for a stained finish. Width is fixed.
Engineered Jamb
Made from solid wood components laminated together and can be
trimmed to a custom width. The engineered construction provides
strength and stability to the frame.

Primed finger-joint pine jambs
are standard with all interior door
units. They are used in most
installations where the jambs are
typically painted. Doors that are
pre-hung in a primed frame may
be painted or stained.
Primed solid poplar jambs provide
both strength and stability and
should be used with doors of
substantial weight such as MDF
doors and are available in both
11/16” or 5/4” thickness. Poplar is
harder than pine, and will provide
superior durability especially coupled
with a heavy duty ball bearing hinge.
