Architraves are commonly referred to by various names depending on context and region. Some of the most widely used terms include moulding, beading, trim, casing, lining, frame, surround, skirting, edging, and reveal. These terms are often used interchangeably in carpentry and interior design to describe the decorative or functional elements that frame doors, windows, and openings, adding detail and finishing touches to interiors.
These elements are used to cover gaps between walls and frames, giving a clean and finished look. Trim, moulding, and beading add decorative detail, while casing and lining provide structure. Skirting protects lower walls, and edging ensures smooth borders around doors and windows.
