Architrave and quadrant.

Dec 08, 2008 3 Replies

Internal door in the corner of a room.



In the corner on the upright part of the doorframe is only enough room for quadrant beading. What is the correct way for the quadrant beading to join up with the ogee architrave of the head?

The normal way is to cut down the same architrave to fit the available space.

If you like the quadrant, then it is usually profiled to "overlap" and follow the contour of the architrave. Personally I have used thin strip wood instead in this situation as it gives a cleaner slightly more modern look

Scribe or mitre as the occasion demands - or depending upon material sizes, a simple butt-joint may suffice with a bit of filling to hide imperfections of fit.
