angelsephemera Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Recommend a shop for front doors - HomePro is ok but I couldn't see any architrave - they don't use it here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisb Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Course they do. Try looking for floor skirting. Same same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyecatcher Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Its rarely used, as is skirting which they tend to paint a brown stripe around the bottom. 2nd fix timbers are just expensive for the common man here, intact for us also. So they will chamfer the wall render to give a quirk into the door frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelsephemera Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 no architrave really makes a difference- it makes the doors look shit... I have examined my neighbours doors and seen two which have an ornate but effective columnar type architrave and headpiece. more legwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyecatcher Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Yes the fluted archies are quite Georgian and the beauty about the corner finials is the are easy to fit and no need for mitres. You can find this moulding in Global, if you are going to paint it then look for mdf it will save you a lot of cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelsephemera Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Time I went to global for a major shop (minimum for free delivery is about 5K I guess?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
