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. :-)

It would have to be very fancy, or very high quality timber to be
worth £1/foot.


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.
