Door frame depth and wall thickness
Wall thickness varies with blockwork, studs, plasterboard, tile and other finishes. A frame that is too narrow or too deep creates extra finishing work.
Door frame depth and wall thicknessThis section view supports door frame depth and wall thickness by showing the wall, frame and door as one coordinated opening.
The frame has to meet the wall cleanly
Measure the finished wall where possible and consider whether extension pieces, lining adjustments or custom frame dimensions are needed. The goal is a clean relationship between frame, wall and architrave.
What to look at
Start with the opening, the condition of the existing door and frame, the way the space is used, and the finish you want to achieve. These details usually narrow the practical options quickly.
