When using steel door frames there is a problem with maintenance, especially when painting plaster and also door frames. This can be avoided by using a finishing profile with a shadow joint, which nicely borders the door frame and makes painting easier. You need to talk to a plastering realtor about this to get these profiles and preferably from us. It is possible to use a steel profile that can be painted with any colour. The ideal use is in renovations of buildings or it can be used in any use of steel framing.
See a similar detail when using plasterboard with the simultaneous use of a timber jamb . High precision is required for this solution, as it is a joinery element that has a higher precision than the work involved in the execution of a rough construction. It is a solution that can also be combined when the skirting boards are recessed into the plaster.
Concealed door frames are normally implemented in such a way that a counter frame made of a metal profile must be fitted into the construction opening when a rough construction is being carried out. After all the construction work and painting is completed, the hidden door frame is fitted into this profile. When implementing interiors, it often happens that the above solution cannot be implemented due to the unset counterframe. Our solution using a profile designed to create a shadow joint makes this possible. It is necessary to finish the plaster or plasterboard in the places where the jambs will go. The jamb will be fitted into the frame created and this will allow the jamb outline to be flush with the wall outline.
We recommend you to use the following profiles
Contact us through our communication channels and we will be happy to help you. I have attached a photo gallery of door frames which is common everywhere where our comments and ideas have not been taken into account. The most common mistake is:
- cracking of plaster around the perimeter of the door frame
- contamination of the door frame with plaster
- cracks in the plaster and paint around the perimeter of the door frame
