Who Is This Solution For?




One Of The Most Recognizable Elements Of Architecture Is The Door Surround
Old Europe Style door surrounds look best with label moulding across the top and side blocking down the sides.

About Old Europe Style Door Surround
These doors tended to be more massive than typical front entrance wood-works. These doors were mostly made of hardwoods – where oak was the primary wood used in medieval times. Oak was chosen for its strength, durability, and availability in England and other parts of northern Europe.
These doors tend to look heavy and strong – typically embellished with hand-forged iron hardware. With Old Europe architecture, the door should not only appear heavy and strong, but actually be heavy to swing.
These doors are typically surrounded by stone which only magnifies the castle effect. The stone surround in very high-end residential structures was typically limestone in the American Tudor revival (1920’s), but the expense of this stone and the lack of skilled artisans to work it has thwarted its use.

These Days It Is Much More Common To Use Cast Stone Products Which Can Look Equally Authentic And Strong.
Gothic arched door stone surrounds
also normally have a “spandrel” which decorates perpendicular arches with carved motifs – sometimes with leaves or flowers while other times with coat-of-arm blanks or gothic motif like quatrefoils and trefoils.
These doors always have a deceptively simple exterior – where the internal construction can be quite complex with multiple mortise and tenons required to support the large weight. Many times iron nails or bolts were use to bind the layers or tenon to the enclosing planks. If nails were used, they were cinched or bent at the tip to disallow movement.
The doors of many English manors and castles are the original woodwork which is amazing considering the age of these structures.

Door surrounds
Every morning, before rushing to work or school, you grab your keys, take one last sip of coffee, and open the door. That moment — when you step outside — sets the tone for the entire day. Some days, you feel unstoppable. Other days, you notice the peeling paint, the tired frame, the way your entrance doesn’t really match who you are.
And then there are the glances — neighbors passing by, friends coming over, even delivery guys noticing details you sometimes wish they wouldn’t. We all care, even if we don’t always admit it. A door isn’t just wood and hinges. It’s a reflection of your style, your taste, your self-esteem.
Now imagine this: instead of a dull, ordinary entrance, you’re greeted by a door framed in elegance. Clean lines, modern design, that subtle “wow” factor. Suddenly, your home feels more you. You walk out taller. Guests walk in impressed. And your door? It finally tells the story you want it to.
hat’s the quiet power of a Royal Foam custom door surround — a small change with a big impact on how you feel every single day.
Door Surrounds – Elevate Your Entrance with Style and Strength
First Impressions Matter – Why Our Offer Is The Silent Luxury
Imagine this: you are walking up to a house. The pathway is neat, the lawn trimmed, but when you reach the entrance, the door looks bare, almost unfinished. Now picture the same home: elegant lines frame the doorway, adding symmetry, warmth, and timeless charm. Instantly, the entrance feels inviting, stylish, and well cared for.
That is where the power is: they are not just details – they are the frame of your home’s personality. Just as a fine picture looks incomplete without a frame, a doorway without surrounds misses the chance to impress. And it’s not only about looks. High-quality exterior not only protects the edges from weather but also adds insulation and improves durability.
At Royal Foam, we’ve seen homeowners struggle with heavy, high-maintenance stone or wood trims. Long installation times, cracks, repainting, and swelling from moisture make traditional solutions a headache. Foam-based front door surrounds solve these problems while keeping the premium look. They’re lightweight, quick to install, resistant to weather, and surprisingly low-maintenance—all without losing the elegance of classic architecture.
The Harmony of Aesthetics and Practicality Of Exterior Door Surrounds
A doorway is more than an entry point—it’s the welcome sign of your home. Adding these characters to the exterior creates harmony between the walls, the entry, and the entire façade. Whether you prefer sleek modern minimalism or Victorian surrounds full of ornament and detail, the right frame balances coziness with grandeur.
But the beauty isn’t just skin deep. Surrounds serve a practical purpose: they seal gaps, prevent water penetration, and reinforce vulnerable areas of the wall. This means less energy loss in winter, fewer repair costs, and a more resilient home structure.
Have you ever walked up to a neighbor’s home and felt that instant “wow” reaction? That mix of admiration and envy that makes you imagine your own entryway could look just as stunning? That movement you do every time you see a stunning element? That feeling isn’t just luck—it’s the magic of front surrounds. With Royal Foam’s premium door exterior, you can elevate your home’s façade, enhance curb appeal, and feel proud every time you return. Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee or welcoming friends for dinner, the right frame sets the tone for your entire home.
Why Should You Choose Royal Foam?
Looking for Quick and Easy Installation?
Who has time for cranes, scaffolding, and weeks of work? With Royal Foam, installation is straightforward and fast. Using just adhesives or light fasteners, what normally takes days with stone can often be done in hours. Save time, reduce hassle, and enjoy your upgraded entryway almost immediately.
Want Your Door Surrounds to Last for Years?
Tired of cracks, warping, or fading caused by harsh weather? Royal Foam’s premium durability means your decorative elements resist expansion and contraction through all seasons. From scorching sun to heavy snow, your entrance remains flawless, stylish, and welcoming.
How Much Time Do You Spend on Maintenance?
Wood or stone trims demand constant upkeep, from sealing to repainting. Why waste time? Low-maintenance foam surrounds with protective finishes stay stunning year-round with minimal effort. More time enjoying your home, less money and stress spent on repairs.
Concerned About Moisture Damage?
Rain, snow, and melting ice target the edges around your doors — the most vulnerable spots. Royal Foam surrounds act as a shield, directing water away and preventing mold, rot, and peeling paint. It’s subtle protection that saves big headaches in the long run.
Looking for Cost-Efficient Luxury?
Why choose between style and smart investment? Front surrounds from Royal Foam aren’t just beautiful — they help cut energy costs, reduce repairs, and even increase your property’s resale value. Affordable luxury that pays for itself, season after season.
Styles to Match Every Home
Your Front Door Surround Speaks Before You Do
Every time someone visits your home — whether it’s a neighbor dropping by, friends coming for dinner, or even a delivery driver — the first thing they see is your front door. And like it or not, that first impression sets the tone. Does your entryway whisper charm, radiate modern confidence, or feel unfinished?
Modern Stone Window Surrounds
That’s where Royal Foam makes all the difference. They’re not just frames; they’re statements. The right style instantly changes how people see your home — and how you feel walking into it every day.
Why Should You Choose Royal Foam?
Victorian – Think romance, history, and timeless elegance. With ornate curves and intricate details, these surrounds are ideal for historical properties or anyone wanting to give their home that regal, storybook charm. They whisper tradition but shout sophistication.
Modern Exterior – Minimalist yet powerful. Clean lines and smooth finishes work perfectly with contemporary architecture, giving your entryway that “less is more” confidence. It’s the kind of detail that makes your home feel new, fresh, and forward-thinking.
Decorative – From subtle, refined accents to bold, eye-catching frames, these surrounds add that designer touch you usually see in high-end interiors. It’s like putting the perfect frame around a work of art — only this time, the art is your home.
Custom – Because one size doesn’t fit all. Royal Foam offers tailored dimensions to ensure a flawless, gap-free fit that looks professional, polished, and perfectly aligned with your home’s unique proportions.
There is something special about the style you choose; its transformation is immediate. Your home’s entrance looks finished, elevated, and irresistibly welcoming — the kind of upgrade that makes people stop and say, “Wow, this looks superb.”
