A cladded door frame system protects exterior surfaces of door frame members from the elements. The system includes spaced left and right frame members orthogonally joined at upper portions thereof to a header, thus defining a door opening having exterior and interior sides. Each of the frame members includes a side jamb (or header) and a brickmold orthogonally extending along an exteriorly disposed surface of the side jamb (or header). The system also includes first, second and third cladding strips, each of which frictionally engages a respective frame member. Each of the cladding strips includes a U-shaped inner flange that engages three surfaces of one of the jambs (or header) and a U-shaped outer flange that engages three surfaces of one of the brickmolds. The inner flange is joined to the outer flanges at an orthogonal orientation. The inner flange includes a second leg that engages most of the surface area of a door jamb surface of the respective side jamb (or header). The elongate cladding strip is roll formed and made of metal. Each cladding strip is elastically deformable such that the cladding strip may be snapped into position upon one of the frame members for frictional engagement therewith.
