I have a question :-)
would you pay 17GBP for door archiatrave if it was fancy ie
victorian,edwardian,french provincial, basically a bit of upmarket class. The architrave would come in 2x7'&1x4' lenghts and you mitre the angle cut yourself to suit your own doorframe. So thats 17GBP per door. Thanks awfully. :-) -- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite |

I'm about to put in original internal doors at 65 quid a pop, so it's about in line with that. -- Mike W |

Thanks awfully. :-) -- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite It would have to be very fancy, or very high quality timber to be worth £1/foot. I pay less than that for custom cut moulding at my local woodyard. having said that last time I was there was 2 years ago and I bought 120 feet !!! So I guess if its a one off then maybe. If you have many doors then a local timber merchant with a moulding machine maybe cheaper. hth DeeBee |

However since you are knocking them up with your fancy new bits and I can do the same for the same price plus I get the bit, then errrr...... no. -- Mike W |

Oh its fancy ok, more to the point *unique* I pay less than that for custom cut moulding at my local woodyard. having said that last time I was there was 2 years ago and I bought 120 feet !!! You are joking? for a lumber yard to set up their equipment for a one off they'll charge you at least 2.50 per foot, I know I've looked into it. Paid a visit to three yards local to me. So I guess if its a one off then maybe. If you have many doors then a local timber merchant with a moulding machine maybe cheaper. No chance. hth DeeBee -- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite |

The message
from "The3rd Earl Of Derby" contains these words: So thats 17GBP per door. There's plenty that would, but of course, the likes of B&Q will mark it up to £64.99 -- Skipweasel Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. |

Arc goes around both sides, making it 50p per foot I pay less than that for custom cut moulding at my local woodyard. having said that last time I was there was 2 years ago and I bought 120 feet !!! Try it now, take your credit card though as it must have trebled in price in the past few years, blame house doctor, sarah beeny and that fat bloke who did the gardening thing with charlie dimmock, everyone and his uncle now wants 'fancy' skirtings, arcs and mouldings. |
