Because first impressions deserve lasting protection.

In modern construction, the design of a door frame plays an important role in durability, security, and proper door fitting. One important feature used in high-quality door frames is the rebate.

Many builders and architects now prefer rebated door frames because they provide better support and sealing compared to traditional flat frames.

What is Rebate in a Door Frame?

A rebate in a door frame refers to the grooved or stepped section inside the frame where the door shutter fits.

This recessed portion allows the door to close tightly within the frame instead of sitting flat against it.

The rebate helps in:

Proper door alignment

Strong door fitting

Better closing support

Improved durability of the door frame

Most modern steel door frames and PPGI door frames are designed with rebate for better performance.

Why Rebate is Important in Door Frames

1. Better Door Fitting

A rebated frame allows the door shutter to fit perfectly inside the frame. This prevents movement and ensures smooth opening and closing.

2. Improved Security

Doors with proper rebate design are harder to force open because the shutter sits inside the frame structure.

3. Dust and Air Protection

Rebated frames help reduce dust, air, and outside elements entering through the gaps between the door and frame.

4. Strong Structural Support

Rebate adds extra support to the door shutter which increases the overall strength of the door system.

Types of Door Frame Rebates

Single Rebate Door Frame

This type of frame has one groove where the door shutter fits. It is commonly used in standard residential doors.

Double Rebate Door Frame

A double rebate door frame has two stepped grooves, which provide stronger sealing and additional support. These are often used in high-quality or commercial door installations.

Why PPGI Door Frames with Rebate Are Better

Traditional wooden door frames often face problems like:

Termite damage

Moisture swelling

High maintenance

Modern PPGI steel door frames with rebate design solve these problems.

They are:

Termite proof

Rust resistant

Strong and durable

Low maintenance

Long lasting
