ABSTRACT
Figure 17.1(a) : This is the name still used to describe the cover moulds of various designs and sizes that are fixed around the edges of door linings and door frames, etc., primarily to cover the unsatisfactory joint between the lining or frame within the opening and the plaster (or plasterboard) surface of the wall. Even though present-day architraves are usually plain in design, they add a visual finish to the opening. Architraves are referred to as being in sets. A set of architraves for a door opening consists of two uprights, called jambs (or legs) and a horizontal piece called a head. A door lining or frame normally requires two sets of architraves, one on each side of the wall.
