PRACTICAL DETAILS / EHL PROLIST
A tidy doorway is a small detail with a large effect. Pre-mitred architrave sets move part of the preparation away from the installation site.
Interior inspiration: Rindalslist, EHL Profiles Group. The Prolist pre-mitred set is shown below.
Choose the doorway as a complete detail
An architrave frames the transition between the door lining and the wall. Its width, profile and finish should work with the door and nearby skirting. Start by comparing those elements together rather than choosing each item in isolation.
What a pre-mitred set changes
EHL Prolist’s pine architrave sets are supplied with the corner cuts already made. The upright pieces are trimmed to the required height on site. The range includes sets for door modules 8, 9 and 10, with white finish options NCS S 0502-Y and NCS S 0500-N. Confirm the exact set and profile against the current product information.
Measure the actual opening
A module number is useful for selecting a set, but it is not a substitute for checking the doorway. Measure the lining, the reveal you want and the space available beside the opening. Existing walls and floors may vary, especially in renovation work.
Dry-fit, check, then fix
Lay out the three pieces and check their orientation before trimming. Offer the set up to the doorway, inspect the corner joints and confirm the bottom lengths. Follow the product’s guidance for fixing, handling and any touch-up work. Pre-cut corners help with preparation; a good fit still depends on the opening.
Make the specification easy to repeat
For several doors, record the module, profile, colour code and finish in one schedule. Keep the approved sample with that record. This gives the installer and supplier a shared reference when similar-looking doors need different sets.
