WOOD PROFILE AND ARCHITRAVE
Architrave is the frame that borders around a door or window, while profile is the board that runs around the room along the floor and at the bottom of a wall, sometimes wainscoting. Each has a different function and feature. There are plenty of ways you can use different styles of wood profile and architrave because we have nearly 100 choices for you.
In most cases, we suggest that you should try to ensure that your architrave and skirting profile is a similar width if you go with profile and architrave. This is also the case with the thickness of your skirting or architrave. If these are different then one will sit back from the other and the two won’t line up. This will immediately show up and they won’t match.
However, it is not critical that they are a perfectly matching pair, but you need to attend to detail and follow these guidelines to ensure your match is as close as possible.
