Introduction
In a market where wood has traditionally ruled, the door frame segment is quietly undergoing a transformation. The modern homeowner no longer wants to deal with warping, moisture damage, or termites. Enter WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) door frames — a smarter, long-lasting alternative to traditional wooden frames.
SBM Gold, with its legacy of quality in pipes, tanks, and windows, is leading the WPC movement with strong, sustainable, and ready-to-install frames.
What is a WPC Door Frame?
WPC stands for Wood Plastic Composite, a material made by combining natural wood fibers with thermoplastics. It mimics the look of wood but eliminates its weaknesses.
WPC = Strength of Plastic + Texture of Wood – All the Problems of Wood
Why Wooden Frames Fall Short
-
Termite Infestation: Wood attracts termites, especially in humid climates
-
Warping & Cracks: Wood expands/contracts with moisture and temperature
-
Maintenance: Requires regular polishing, painting, and repairs
-
Sustainability: Cutting trees for door frames is not eco-friendly
For a future-facing home, wood simply doesn’t cut it anymore.
