An architrave is a decorative molding or frame that encircles a doorway or window, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes in architecture. It acts as a transition between the wall and the door or window, often adding a refined touch to the structure. In Jamaica and globally, architraves enhance the appearance of openings, contributing to the overall design and style of a building. Typically installed during the finishing stages of construction or renovation, architraves are chosen to complement the architectural style of the property, whether in residential, commercial, or historical contexts.
