I am in the process of fitting skirting board in my bathroom .I am
using this profile .

http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/120620?...QPN Xrg%3D%3D

I have architrave that I used previously and it has a very similar
profile ..although narrower ( altho' I might use some of the skirting
cut down to suit if I have enough left over) and I am having an
argument with myself .

I am correct in thinking that the tapered edge goes towards the door
space am I not so that it meets the dor stops. ?....if it makes any
difference and I can't see why it should...the door opens outwards in
to the hall so from the hall inwards you have Door/Door
Stops/Architrave .

Yes - tapered edge to the inside. IMHO it would look pretty odd the
other way round, but I suppose you could do it that way... although it
might impinge on the door opening fully at the hinge side.

The door is on the outside of the portal which is about 6-7" deep and
it opens outwards as the bath is just inside the door and would not
allow the door to open inwards
Thx for your help

When used as skirting, you can use either the tapered side or the rounded
side up, depending on preference. Whichever you *don't* use is hidden
against the wall, next to the floor.

If you cut it down to make architrave, you again have a choice of whether
you want the narrowed side to be tapered or rounded - personally I prefer
rounded, but it needs to match everything else in the room.

The idea of architrave is to cover the gap between the door frame and the
plastered wall. You fix it with the tapered or rounded edges facing inwards,
with about 5 or 6mm of the inboard edge of the frame showing. The tapered or
rounded edges also meet at the mitred corners. The square edge on the
plaster side is ideal for papering up to, if you're papering the walls.

I'm using it with the tapered edge showing as thats what the architave
I have is like but,as I said ,if I have enough skirting left I'll cut
it down so it all matches exactly

I had not realised you were supposed to leave a little of the door
frame showing ....I was just going to fit it flush
Thx for your help too
