Torus Architrave
(1 Product)A Torus Architrave is a type of architectural moulding or trim that is rounded in shape and typically used as a decorative element in a building. It is a convex moulding with a semicircular cross-section, resembling a quarter-circle, that is used to frame doors and other openings.
The Torus architrave design is ageless. Its use has spanned centuries, from its inception in classical Greek and Roman buildings to modern-day structures; it is thus a beloved choice for both new builds and redevelopments alike.
Prior to deciding on a Torus architrave, keep in mind that unique vendors may provide different interpretations of the same design. To ensure your new product perfectly complements your existing torus, it is critical to compare all dimensions and details.
