Description

A meranti hardwood door frame with a left sidelite is a high-quality external entrance frame that combines a solid timber door surround with a fixed glazed side panel positioned on the left-hand side when viewed from outside.

The frame is manufactured from meranti hardwood, chosen for its strength, stability, and smooth grain, making it well suited to painted or stained finishes. The integrated left sidelite allows natural light into the entrance area while maintaining a strong, unified frame construction.

Typically, the door and sidelite are housed within a single continuous outer frame, rebated to accept glazing and fitted with appropriate weathering details such as a drip groove, sealed joints, and a compatible threshold for external use. The sidelite is usually fixed and double glazed for thermal performance and security.

This type of frame is commonly used in residential front entrances where additional light and a wider visual opening are desired, offering a clean, balanced appearance while retaining the durability and practicality of a hardwood frame.
