ABSTRACT
Figure 16.5: Ideally, each architrave member should be in one piece, but sometimes there is a need to use up the offcuts. The joining of two pieces is known as splicing, which is done at 45 across the face. Splicing should never be done on a head piece and only be done sparingly on the legs, as low as possible – well out of eye level – and the splice, as illustrated, should be cut to face downwards in the doorway. This tends to make it less obvious.
