About our architectural door surrounds
It’s not just trim; it’s a complete, engineered system designed to turn any doorway into a powerful architectural statement.
The anatomy of a grand entrance
An entrance is more than an opening; it’s the first handshake of a building. It establishes prestige, tells a story, and guides the human eye. Our door surrounds are engineered to be that powerful focal point. Crafted from a lightweight, high-density core, they transform any standard doorway into a memorable architectural statement.
Each custom door surround system consists of precision-made parts that work in harmony:
- Pilasters or Casing: The vertical elements (door casing or more decorative pilaster door surrounds) that frame the doorway, creating a sense of strength and presence.
- Architrave & Frieze: The horizontal door architrave and decorative frieze that span the top, adding character and detail.
- Pediment: The crowning element (door pediments can be triangular, curved, or custom-profiled) that provides a definitive architectural flourish.
Get a complete, engineered system that installs with flawless precision.
The science behind a flawless finish: from foam to "stone"
Our architectural door surrounds are not just foam; they are a composite masterpiece of material science. The process begins with a structural, high-density Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam core, precision-cut with CNC technology to match your exact architectural drawings. This ensures every curve, angle, and detail of your door molding is perfect.
This lightweight core is then encapsulated in our signature polyurea hard coat. This isn’t just a layer of paint; it’s a spray-applied, seamless, waterproof, and impact-resistant shell that transforms the foam into a monolithic structure with incredible durability. It’s the armor that makes our foam door surrounds ready for the real world.
The final step is the art: an integrated, architectural finish that provides the authentic texture and feel of limestone, precast concrete, or rich wood, while offering superior resistance to UV rays, weathering, and time. This is how we build entrances that are not only beautiful but brutally tough.

Engineered Solutions for Every Architectural Style
Before and after: a first impression, redefinedAfter:
The Challenge: A new commercial building had a functional but completely forgettable entrance. The flat facade failed to convey the premium identity of the tenants inside, projecting a generic, low-value image. The owner needed a high-impact upgrade without the massive cost and disruption of masonry work.
The Solution: We engineered and delivered a complete custom door surround with strong, clean lines to complement the building’s modern architecture. The lightweight, pre-finished components were installed by a two-person crew in a single day, with zero disruption.
The ROI: The entrance was transformed from a simple doorway into a powerful architectural feature. This new sense of prestige not only elevated the building’s curb appeal but directly contributed to a higher property valuation and helped attract and retain high-value corporate tenants. It wasn’t just a decoration; it was a strategic asset.
How a custom door surround redefines your property's value
A door surround isn’t just door trim; it’s the handshake of your building. It’s the first and last thing clients, visitors, and tenants interact with. A well-engineered surround instantly communicates quality, stability, and attention to detail—setting you apart before anyone steps inside.
- Curb Appeal That Commands a PremiumA strong, architectural entrance acts as a visual anchor, dramatically increasing a property's perceived value. It signals permanence and quality, which helps attract premium buyers and tenants and justifies higher price points.
- Durability That Protects Your InvestmentForget the endless cycle of painting wood or patching cracked concrete. Our polyurea-coated foam door surrounds are engineered to be virtually maintenance-free. They resist moisture, pests, and impact, ensuring your first impression remains flawless for decades. That’s not an expense; it’s a smart, long-term investment.
- Custom Design That Tells Your StoryYour entrance should be an extension of your brand or architectural vision. From a classic brick mold door look to a futuristic design, we can fabricate a surround that perfectly aligns with your property's identity, reinforcing your brand and making your building a landmark.
