Hi Guys,
I'm about to install my first ever door frame and could use some advice from those with experience.
I got the closest size frame to the stud width which I could. The wall isnt skimmed yet, but including plasterboard both sides it's 100mm. The frame is 130mm
My understanding is a skim coat is around 3mm, which will leave me with an overhang of 24mm on each side of the wall.
How is this handled? Should I cut the frame down by 4.8cm?
I guess there must be a common way of handling this.
Advice appreciated.
