1 Continuing with doors and windows, here are some more tips. At the back edges of all door and window frames (chowkhats), prefer to provide 10 mm wide and 10 mm deep cuts. These cuts serve as keys to plaster. The plaster enters these cuts and a smooth finish is obtained. See that the chowkhats are fixed in true plumb and at the right face. An effective way to keep chowkhats in position is to support them in position by inclined pipes or ballis.
2 Like frames, work out the sizes of door, window and ventilator shutters also very carefully. For doors, the width of shutter shall be from rebate to rebate. Depth of door shutter shall be from top rebate to finished floor level minus 5 mm...For more tips, see the Hindustan Times of 02.12.06
