Door line going before you plaster so you can plaster up to the door lines and then clean them off

New door frames should go in before plastering and skimming.
This ensures a neat finish where the plaster can be brought right up to the frame for clean edges, and it also avoids damaging finished plaster when fitting the frame.

New door frames always go in before plastering and skimming

Before

All New door frames internal and external should be installed before plastering commences as should Windows .
The reason is if when internal door frames are fitted nine times out of ten there will be some sort of prep work around them to insure the desired finish.

In a word before as the plaster needs to be adjacent with the door frame.

Usually tend to go in before but in some cases we have done this before the door frames have been fitted no issue

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.

I prefer to put in door frames in first to plaster flush up to them so that the architrave sits flush when fitted

We fit new door frame before plastering and skimming.

It can be done either way but you always put the casings in first wherever possible,
It may sound a little weirded but I have known on the odd job where it wasn’t always possible to get the casing’s in first

New door frames usually go in before plastering and skimming. This way, you can ensure a clean finish around the frames without any gaps. Plus, it makes it easier to get the plaster nice and smooth around the edges!

Door frames should ideally go in before plastering and skimming. This allows the plaster to be applied right up to the frame for a clean, seamless finish.

However, protect the frame with masking tape or a protective film to avoid damage during plastering.

Your best off doing the door frames before plaster as the plaster will crack when you remove the frame

Before

Normally door frames are installed first, plastering and skimming come afterwards, this way we get a much more neater finish.... All the best

The new frames should be fitted before plaster

Before plastering

its better to install the doorframes first then plaster up to them

The door frames will be require fitting prior to the plastering commencing. Thanks, Kyle

New door frames should generally go in before plastering and skimming. Here’s why:

1. Provides a Clean Edge: Installing the door frame first allows the plasterers to work up to the edge of the frame, creating a clean, seamless finish around the door opening.
2. Secures the Frame: The frame is securely fixed into the wall structure before plastering, which helps ensure it’s stable and won’t shift as the plaster cures.
3. Avoids Damage: Plastering around an already-installed frame reduces the risk of damaging the plaster when later fitting a frame.

After the frame is in place, plastering and skimming can proceed around it for a neat and finished look.
