There is no specific time limit for installing window and door casings—feel free to schedule it whenever it’s convenient for you. Before proceeding with the installation, first ensure that the dimensions of the预留 openings match the design specifications and that the quality of the previous construction steps meets the required standards for installation. Additionally, confirm that the base of any embedded components is sturdy and reliable—and remember to carry out this step only after the plastering work on the ceiling, walls, and floor has been completed.
2. Based on the opening dimensions and the centerline positions of door and window frames, support the joist framework with wooden blocks, ensuring proper防腐 treatment is applied. Additionally, the position of the cross braces must align precisely with the locations of the embedded components.
First, let's explore the benefits of window frames.
(1) The primary function of a window casing is to protect the edges of the window. Over time, these edges are prone to damage due to regular use, but since window casings are often made of wood, they provide excellent protection against bumps and impacts.
(2) The design of window casings also serves, to a certain extent, as a complementary element that harmonizes with door casings and baseboards, since all three work together to neatly finish off the edges of the entire space.
(3) A window casing serves as a complementary element to the windowsill design. When we place a piece of marble or similar material on the windowsill, it often feels somewhat plain and out of place. However, adding a window casing instantly enhances the overall aesthetic, making the setup feel more cohesive and polished.
Key stylistic features of window casings: Window casings are designed to harmonize with door casings—typically, if a door lacks a door casing, there’s no need for a window casing either. Conversely, if a door already has a door casing but the corresponding window doesn’t have one, it can create an unfinished or incomplete look. In most cases, it’s recommended that the style of the window casing matches and complements the door casing seamlessly.
When should the window casing be installed?
There is no specific time limit for installing window and door casings—feel free to schedule it whenever it’s convenient for you. Before proceeding with the installation, make sure to first verify that the dimensions of the预留 openings meet the design specifications and that the quality of the previous construction steps meets the necessary standards for installation. Additionally, confirm that the base of any embedded components is sturdy and reliable—and remember to carry out this step only after the plastering work on the ceiling, walls, and floor has been completed.
1. Door and window openings should be square and perfectly vertical, and the pre-embedded wooden blocks must meet design specifications and undergo treatment to prevent rot, fire, and insect damage. Door casings in damp areas should also be treated with moisture-proof measures.
2. Based on the opening dimensions and the centerline positions of door and window frames, support the joist framework with wooden blocks, ensuring proper防腐 treatment is applied. Additionally, the position of the cross braces must align precisely with the locations of the embedded components.
3. The joist framework should be flat, sturdy, and the surface planed smooth. When installing the joist framework, ensure it is perfectly square; in addition to allowing for the board thickness, any gaps between the joist framework and wooden blocks must be filled with wood shims for secure connections. When installing the joist framework around door or window openings, typically start from the top first, then proceed to the sides. The upper portion of the opening’s framework should be securely fastened to the appropriate hardware.
4. The baseboard corresponding to the wall should undergo anti-corrosion, fire-retardant, and insect-proof treatments, and its installation must be secure.
5. The color and pattern of the decorative panels should harmonize with each other. The panel surface should slightly overlap the joist framework, with the larger surfaces finished with smooth planing, while the smaller edges should be scraped straight. Wood grain should face downward, and when lengths need to be joined end-to-end, the pattern must flow continuously. Additionally, the joint location should avoid being directly in the viewer’s line of sight—ideally placed either above 2 meters or below 1.2 meters from the indoor floor level—and the joint itself should be positioned on a cross member.
6. The type, color, and pattern of the face veneer and trim pieces should harmonize with the decorative panels. Face veneer joints must be cut at a 45° angle, ensuring a tight and seamless fit between the face veneer and the door/window frame boards. Additionally, when the face veneer or trim covers plastered wall surfaces, it should overlap by at least 10 mm.
