Contemporary Casing

Standard door and window casing ranges from 2-1/4" to 3-1/2" wide. The choice depends on architectural style, door size, and proportion to other room elements.

Typically, leave a 1/4" to 3/8" reveal between the window jamb edge and casing. This creates a shadow line and accommodates minor irregularities in the opening.
