Isn’t that the wood that goes around the door and holds it in place? Yes, it is the just make sure you understand a door frame or jamb is the vertical member used to secure the door either on the hinge side or the lock side. Exterior frames are intended for applications where the outside portion of the door frame is exposed to natural elements. The strength of the door frame is important because the hinges for the door are supported primarily by the frame. However, most building codes specify that at each hinge, there must be a 3” screw extending through the frame and anchoring securely in the stud wall of the opening. Most types of door fasteners and deadbolts extend into a mortise or recess in the door jamb when engaged, and the strike plate or deadbolt plate is often reinforced by wrapping it round onto the back of the frame. A good door jamb will keep a door secure and in place, without leaving excessive gaps where air can leak into the house. Weston Wood Solutions produces superior door frames. All Weston Wood Solutions’ wood door frames are manufactured using their precise specifications and materials. Exterior quality glues in all finger joints and edge laminations, and a controlled moisture content of 10-12% create a product that is strong, straight, and suitable for exposed applications once primed and painted.

There standard exterior frames include a built-in stop with a weather-strip kerf. Typically in Canada prehangers will use a compression weatherstrip on the hinge frame side and a magnetic weatherstrip on the strike frame side. For colder parts of the country we supply our door jambs with an extra groove along the rabbeted edge which is for an additional weatherstrip seal between the edge of the door and the frame. The main reason is to stop the incursion of wind, water, or snow into the structure via spaces between the door and door frame. In most parts of the US compression weatherstrip is used throughout the frame.

Weston Wood Solutions supplies frames with dados for the head jamb and the sill. These are machined to customer specifications so that the head and the sill fit snugly into the frame when it is assembled. Typically these dimensions, and the length of the head and sill, are designed to give a 1/8” gap or reveal around all the edges of the door. Most prehangers dado the top of the hinge and strike frames so that the head is recessed into the assembly. However, some prehangers prefer to dado both ends of the head instead so that there is no possibility of water migrating down into the door.

There are 2 main types of assembly techniques for double doors or entrance doors with sidelights. The most common and easiest to make, is a box system, where each component (door and sidelight) is made first and then joined or mulled together. The other is a continuous head system where the mullion fits into a recess which is mortised into the head. Weston supplies head profiles for door frames in any length, including 16 ft lineal, and a special profile called burlap which covers the joint when 2 frames have been mulled together.

It is important to ensure that the doorframes are properly primed before exterior grade paint, stain, or protectant is used to properly seal the frames from the elements.

Ordinary life insurance is straight life or traditional whole life, a type of permanent insurance that guarantees your death benefit for the rest of your life, while providing cash value that you can access for any reason. This type of insurance policy similar to a with-profits policy or a participating policy that pays dividends. Money accumulates as you pay your premiums in an account and grows with interest and often with dividends paid directly by the insurance company. Your premium amount is guaranteed to remain level for as long as you live, even if the insurance company’s costs rise, with whole life. When you reach retirement or old age, that premium will not increase over the amount started in your policy.

An insurance company will calculate the level premiums sufficient to pay the cost of your insurance coverage or mortality costs to the end of your life. In the early years, the level premiums are higher than the mortality costs. This difference is called the cash value which is the difference between the mortality costs and the level premiums. In later years, as mortality costs rise due to your advancing age, your level premiums are lower than the mortality costs, and your whole life insurance policy draws on the cash value to help pay the insurance costs. If you continue to keep up your premium payments, your cash value will eventually grow to an amount equal to your policy’s death benefit. But if you die at any time before you reach the maturity date, your beneficiary receives the full death benefit, no matter what the amount of your cash value at the time of your death.

Your cash value can be used at any time as long as there is some money in the policy. Whole life insurance accumulates cash value as savings. Part of each payment accumulates in this account and continues to grow tax deferred as long as the policy is in force. You can access up to your cost basis without any income tax consequences. However, surrender will terminate all or part of your coverage and may have tax consequences if you have had any gains in your policy.

The cash value build-up is creditor proof in most states which makes whole life insurance a sort of double indemnity policy by protecting your family should you die suddenly, as well as protecting your family should you be sued or have to declare bankruptcy. If you ever feel that you are unable to continue making premium payments, or that you have more coverage than you need, but you do not want to surrender or take a loan against the policy, you have a number of alternatives. Based on the size of your cash value account, you can use your cash value to purchase what is known as reduced paid-up insurance, whereby your coverage amount is lowered and no further premiums are required. Or, you could turn the cash value into extended term insurance, which would provide the same level of death benefit you now have, but for a limited period of time.

Traditionally, most people bought life insurance through an agent that would come to their houses and present them with options for whole life insurance. More often than not, the agent was working for only one company, sometimes using scare tactics and high pressure salesmanship to guilt trip a customer into buying a policy.

On the other hand, the internet has long offered term life quote comparisons available instantly without any expert consultation. However the nature of whole life insurance is more complicated because it is permanent and includes a personal savings element. As such, finding the best whole life insurance online requires the ability to compare companies and policies without bias, as well as access to highly knowledgeable life insurance professionals.
