Architrave in Meath
Architrave frames an internal doorway and creates a transition between the door lining and the surrounding wall. Craftsman Construction fits and replaces architrave across County Meath as part of our second fix carpentry service. Although it is a relatively small detail, its width, profile and junction with the skirting can have a noticeable effect on the finished room.

Choosing a suitable profile
Architrave should be considered alongside the other timber details in the property. A plain profile may suit a modern room, while a more detailed moulding can complement traditional doors and skirting. Width and thickness matter too, particularly where there is limited wall space beside a doorway. If you are keeping existing joinery in nearby rooms, photographs of those profiles are useful. We can discuss whether the new work should follow those details or form part of a different, coordinated scheme within the rooms being updated.
Care at corners and junctions
The corners of a door surround and its meeting with the skirting are prominent parts of the work. Accurate fitting helps the separate lengths read as a continuous frame around the opening. The condition and alignment of the door lining also need to be understood before the new architrave is fitted. In older properties, the available space around each doorway may vary. These differences are a reason to look at the openings individually rather than assume every surround can use an identical arrangement.
Architrave within a second fix project
Architrave can be fitted as a standalone job or discussed together with internal doors, skirting boards, window boards and other mouldings. Considering these items together makes it easier to establish consistent proportions across a room. It also helps define what is staying and what will be replaced before work begins. Our focus is the carpentry and fitting of the timber details, with materials and finish preparation considered in the specification. Share any chosen profiles or supplier information so the proposed scope is clear.
