The door frame component includes an elongate body having first and second opposite sides which are structurally distinct from one another; the first side having a door stop which comprises an abutment for engaging by a door; the second side being configured for engaging a wall; and a third side extending across the first and second sides, wherein, a decorative portion is integrally formed on the third side, which extends beyond the second side in a direction away from the door stop such that the decorative portion and the second side embraces adjoining sides of said wall structure.
Claims12
A door frame component configured for constructing a door frame that fits on a wall structure defined by an opening, the wall structure having an interior surface and an exterior surface adjoining the interior surface, the door frame component comprising:
- an elongate body, the elongate body having a first side, a second side opposite and spaced from the first side, and a third side extending from the first side to the second side, the first, the second, and the third sides being inseparable from each other to define the elongate body and being structurally distinct from one another;
- the first side having an integral door stop arranged to face outward from the wall structure when the first side is arranged on the interior surface of the wall structure, and which comprises an abutment for engaging by a door;
- the second side being configured for engaging the interior surface of the wall structure;
- a decorative portion configured to engage the exterior surface of the wall structure, the decorative portion extending from the first side and away from the second side of the elongate body, and the decorative portion is shorter in length away from the second side of the elongate body than a thickness of the wall structure, whereby the decorative portion exposes and does not cover a portion of the wall structure that is beyond the second side, such that the decorative portion and the second side of the elongate body respectively embrace the adjoining interior and exterior surfaces of the wall structure when the door frame component is fitted to the wall structure;
- the decorative portion includes an external surface arranged to face away from the exterior surface of the wall structure and being for a decorative purpose and the decorative portion includes an internal surface, and a projection extending from the internal surface, the projection being structurally configured for engaging the exterior surface of the wall structure;
- the internal surface and the projection defining a recess to offer flexibility to the decorative portion, the recess being located, and extending continuously, between the projection and the second side;
- the second side of the elongate body and the internal surface of the decorative portion are adjoined to form an engagement surface configured to match the adjoining interior and exterior surfaces of the wall structure;
- the decorative portion and the elongate body defining a bent portion for accommodating a corner of the wall structure defined by the interior and the exterior surfaces of the wall structure;
- and
- the external surface and the internal surface are inseparable parts of the decorative portion;
- and the decorative portion, the door stop, the bent portion, and the elongate body are solid blocks of inseparable parts which together form an integral and monolithic, L-shaped one-piece structure.
