Door frames before or after plastering

Hi there, I've always fitted doors linings before plaster. Door linings falls under 1st fix carpentry. Reason being the door linings go in and it gives your plasterer a level to work to. This way when you come to fit your architraves they will be a nice snug fit without any gaps (if your plasterer is good). I'd recommend getting your door linings in, get your plasterer in and then get your chippie back to hang doors andarchitraves. Regards, Tom

Hi from my experience the door frame need to be fixed first and after plaster.The plaster on the wall need to be finished flash with the edge of the door frame.Important thing is to don't fix the door until the plaster is dry completely.The frame can swallow and the door it's not shut anymore.Thanks LC Carpenter

Hi, I have always fitted the door lining's before getting the walls plastered. Reason being the finished edges of the lining need to be flush with the plaster as then the architrave will sit flush with the finished lining. It makes all the different trades going in easier and gives the plasterer and edge to work off also. Hope this aids you, M.Palmer Building- Carpentry Specialists.

Need first plastering and after fitted door.

Hi guys Would recommend fitting door frames first but flush with existing walls Ready for plastering works Leaves a better finish Once painted Best wishes moving forward Troweltradeplasterers 👌

Door lining first. Bored your wall up to it. Then plaster the board. Fit the architrave around the door lining. Fit your new doors. Then finally door stops

Usually at that question carpenters and plasterers will have opposite opinions. Plasterers prefers the frame fitted first, because it helps them, and carpenters prefers to fit the frame after plaster is done, so the frame will remain clean of plaster. But the best for the you I think is to fix the lining door first, for the reason M. Palmer said above... the architrave will sit flush. By contrary, if the frames are fitted after, the carpenters will manage to mount the architrave, obviously, but never will sit as well. It can't be observed easier, but it's still there. I would protect the frame with a foil or tape if is finished or semi finished.

I would definitely recommend door lining to be fitted first and then skim up to them for a nice flat finish.

Door lining first.all finishings ie facing.scirting.flooring last to be completed

Always fit door frames first, this way is ideal for plaster to finish flush with the frame ready for architraves to be fitted and will avoid damaging the finished plaster.

always fitt the door lining's beforegetting the walls plastered. Reason being the finished edges of the lining need to be flush with the plaster as then the architrave will sit flush with the finished lining. It makes all the different trades going in easier and gives theplasterer and edge to work off . Than once plastered your ready for your new architrave and to hang your lovely new doors

I would always recommend putting all the stud work and more structural work in before the plastering work has commenced. You will often get a neater finish and in order for you to get the plaster flush. After that you can always add architrave and hang your new doors after.

Plaster after fit door frames so everything is levle x
