Architrave Question
I asked this question in another thread however it may have been the wrong thread to ask it.
I am just doing the architraves on internal doors along a hallway. I Just wanted to know whether the verticals on the architraves should touch the floorboards or whether there should be a spacer gap of a couple of millimetres under??

I have just completed the same job and I used a 250mm piece of lambs tongue mdf to join the skirt and arc. I looked at having the doorway arc run to the floor but thought it didn't look as attractive. This may depend on what skirting board you are using though as I used 190mm colonial mdf and has come up great.
What are you using for the skirting and architrave??

I'm using 240x18mm Victorian MDF for the Skirt and 120x18 Vic MDF for the archs.
Just spoke to the flooring guys and they said the skirt and arch can sit directly on the floor.

just as a matter of interest, why do you think there should be a small gap underneath.
