Hi Guys
How do I plaster board around a door frame without the edge showing between facing and frame, Do I use a strip of timber like 1/2 from frame edge same thickness as the board or is there a profile facing can buy ???

I'm not aware of any edging and so would use the timber Wink

the door frame should cover the edge of the plasterboard

it sounds like you are overboarding something and your door lining arnt wide enough

I would put wider door linings in

If the situation is as Tim describes it, I've been there myself.

On walls where the new boards really do stick out proud from the wall by a good 1/4" I used wider door linings.

But if its a matter of ball hairs I took a door surround and routed a recess down the entire length on the plasterboard side. I only had to take it down a few 1/16ths for it to fit snug as a bug...
