        "text": "The most common material for door opening framing is lumber, specifically dimensional lumber like 2x4s or 2x6s, depending on the wall's construction and load-bearing requirements. For headers, engineered wood products such as LVLs (Laminated Veneer Lumber) or solid structural lumber are often used, especially for wider openings or load-bearing walls, to provide superior strength and prevent sagging. Metal studs may also be used in commercial or some modern residential constructions.",
