Types of window/door frames and linings
If the door frame or window frame is to be built-in, the frame must be
assembled so that the head of the frame protrudes 75mm either side
of the jamb.
This protrusion is called a horn and has a splay cut so that it can be
built into the brickwork at the head of the frame

Types of window/door frames and linings
Storey frames have jambs that are
at room height or storey height –
this is why they are called storey
frames.
The jambs are grooved so that
partition walls can sit inside the
frame, giving it more strength and
stability.
They are also nailed to the floor
joists for added strength.
