Architrave

Architrave is a type of decorative molding that is used to frame the areas around doors, windows, and other openings in a building. It is typically made from wood, but can also be made from plaster or other materials. Architrave is installed around the perimeter of an opening to create a finished look and to hide any gaps or rough edges that may exist between the opening and the surrounding wall.

Architrave comes in a variety of styles and designs, ranging from simple and minimalist to highly ornate and detailed. It can be painted or stained to match the surrounding walls or other architectural elements in a room. Some architraves are designed to match other types of moldings, such as skirting boards, cornices, and dado rails, to create a cohesive and unified look.

Installation of architrave typically involves measuring and cutting the molding to size, and then affixing it to the wall using screws or adhesive. The installation process may also involve filling any gaps or rough edges around the opening with caulk or other finishing materials.

In addition to its decorative function, architrave can also serve practical purposes. For example, it can be used to conceal wiring or other mechanical elements that may be present around the opening. It can also help to provide additional insulation and soundproofing around doors and windows.

Overall, architrave is a versatile and attractive architectural element that can add both beauty and functionality to a building. Whether used in a traditional or modern setting, it can help to create a polished and finished look that enhances the overall aesthetic of a space.
