Get the Total Frame Defense
Cascade Wood Products says there is more than one way to save a frame.
Its new Total Frame Defense treats the entire door frame as opposed to
other products that only protect the bottom few inches of the frame, according
to the company.
The company’s Woodlife 111 preservative treating process treats the entire
frame, protecting it against rot/decay, splitting/checking, warping/twisting
and mold/fungi. The Woodlife 111 is a clear penetrating, non-swelling,
paintable water repellant wood preservative that meets the Window and
Door Manufacturers Association’s Hallmark Certification Program requirements.

frame to have a dark finish without the risk of deformation due to heat,
and no special primer or preparation is needed. The TriSys frame system
