Architraves, Skirting's and Mouldings

Timber trim that may need to be fixed through the linings into a steel frame can be readily secured with countersunk head extended point self-drilling screws, 50mm long for timber up to 23 mm thick and 65mm long for timber 23 to 30 mm thick.

With some framing systems the fix-out skirting, architraves and internal door frames can be secured by nailing.

Manufacturers’ recommendations for appropriate nail sizing and procedures should be followed at all times.
