Cutting out door frames to fit tile under - TilersForums.com

[EdMac]

I'm talking about door frames. They have an irregular profile so it would look a mess if I tried to trim the tile around the frame.

No worries, thanks for the replies everyone.

You could just take the architraves off.
If it’s a newer build chances are they are only braded on so carefully lever them off and fix back when tiled.

But then you most probably have to redecorate, no chance you can take arcs off on most jobs

Boggs does full refits so he gets to decide. Same with me

Archatrave yes, but i don't understand the need to cut the actual door frame..

It's the moulded frame that meets the floor and that skirting will butt up against inside the room. I thought an architrave was a frame? Perhaps I've used the wrong word...

Architrave is the moulded wood strip fitted after the casing/frame goes in and is separate to the frame.. Have you got a multi tool?
