What does an architrave do in detailing?

They offer both practical and visual appeal, helping to:

  • Conceal joints, gaps, and uneven plaster edges
  • Protect the edges of openings from daily wear
  • Provide a seamless, finished look
  • Enhance architectural interior details

Offer stylistic cohesion with other timber mouldings (skirting boards, dado rails, picture rails)
