DOOR JAMB SYSTEM WITH PROTECTIVE STOP AND JAMB CLADDING

摘要

A protective door jamb system integrally connected to a door frame. The door jamb system of the present invention includes both a door stop and jamb cladding each manufactured from an extruded plastic product such as hollow rigid plastic, cellular plastic, granular filled plastic or fiber filled plastic. The door stop and jamb clad are each designed to attach to a door jamb substrate through compression deflected fingers. Th e door jamb system of the present invention may also include a weather strip to ensure a weather-tight seal of a door when the door is closed into the frame. The jamb clad of the present invention covers the recessed portion of the door jamb substrate adjacent th e jamb to completely cover the substrate and thereby increase both the structural and aesthetic integrity of the frame. The door jamb system of the present invention therefore permit s use of otherwise aesthetically unpleasing, and less expensive material, for the doo r jamb substrate, with the advantage being that a high quality product may be manufactured for less associated cost.
