Timber Architraves FAQs

What Joints are Used for Architraves?

Unless you intend to use rosette blocks at the corners of your architrave, the best joint to use is a mitre which provides a clean finish. The legs and head of the architrave are typically cut at a 45 degree angle to allow them to join together perfectly.

Should Architraves be Same Thickness as Skirting?

Traditionally, architraves should be the same thickness or slightly thicker than the skirting that adjoins them. This creates a tidy finish, particularly when both elements are painted in the same colour.
