This picture shows the prehung door set has been set within the sub frame. All that is required now is fixing with corrugated staples. You can see that when the sub frame was put in they had allowed for the thickness of the tiles so the architrave goues over the top of the tiles so no complicated cutting of the tiles is required

Below are the various types of architrave that are available. As standard and included in our doorset prices is 70mm x10mm architrave in either the rounded, flat or molded styles. The architrave can also come in 80mm or even 90mm wide, if you have enough room around the framne to fit the extra wide archtirave. The architrave comes in all the wood finishes that we do. Matching skirting is also available. Please ask our sales team for more information and prices on this.

Here you can see the staple gun in position to fire a staple into the sub frame and veneered frame. If you click here you will see a short video of this being done.

Here you can see the staple in position. You need to take care not to get the staple too close to the opening as it needs to be set in so that it is hidden by the architrave.

You always need to have the subframe opening wider than the prehung doorset we supply. Usually if you follow our guidline there is usually 5-7mm gap. This picture shows that the gap is over 12mm and the staple still holds the frame and subframe together.

Here is a typical pin gun. If you use these to fix the architrave then there is very little sign of fixing marks.

On this installation as there was not enough room in the structural opening, expanding foam has been used. This can be a little more difficult than the staple system but still achieves a secure fit to the frame.

This shows a full shot of the door frame having been foamed in. The door set was initially held in position using wedges and some longer screws were screwed through the hinges into the wall. The expanding foam was then put in. This method still provides a solid method of invisible fixing. All is hidden by the architrave when it is put on

Once the architrave has been put on over the frame with foam around the edges, you are left with a very tidy finish. This door set is the 1002 in wenge finish. These doorsets were provided without the factory finish as the client required them to be a much duller finish to match some wenge bathroom furniture they had installed. The finish put on was a matt polyurethane varnish
