Thermal break system and method for doors and windows

A door assembly comprising:

• a door frame including a first side having a first inner surface, a first outer surface, a first edge, and a second edge, the distance between the first edge and second edge defining a first width;
• a first panel located at the first edge extending perpendicularly from the first inner surface at a first depth;
• a second panel located at the second edge extending perpendicularly from the first inner surface at a second depth;
• a first land perpendicularly connected to the first panel extending parallel to the first inner surface, the first land having a first length;
• a second land perpendicularly connected to the second panel extending parallel to the first inner surface, the second land having a second length;
• a second side having a second inner surface, a second outer surface, a third edge, and a fourth edge, the distance between the third edge and fourth edge defining a second width;
• a third panel located at the third edge extending perpendicularly from the second inner surface at a third depth;
• a fourth panel located at the fourth edge extending perpendicularly from the second inner surface at a fourth depth;
• a first thermal break having a third width positioned between the first land and the second inner surface adjacent to the third panel;
• a second thermal break having a fourth width positioned between the second land and the second inner surface adjacent to the fourth panel;
• the first width and the second width being identical;
• the first length, and third width being identical;
• the second length, and the fourth width being identical;
• the first depth and the second depth being identical;
• the third depth and the fourth depth being identical;
• wherein the first outer surface of the first side is exposed to an external environment and the second outer surface of the second side is exposed to an internal environment;
• the third and fourth depths are greater than the first and second depths which correspond to the first and second thermal breaks being positioned closer to the external environment improving efficiency;
• and a plurality of metal screws clamping first land and the first thermal break together and the second land and the second thermal break together, the plurality of metal screws providing mechanical strength.
