Purpose for this article
[edit]There has been a gap in wikipedia coverage for the topic of window and door frames or surrounds, which are basic architectural elements. The term "Door frame" has, incorrectly, previously been a redirect to Door#Frame and fill, a section in the Door article which is not about a door frame but rather type of door itself (consisting of a frame filled by, say, tongue and groove boards).
There has been no article for the term "door surround". So let this article, for now, cover door frames, window frame, window frames, window surround and window surrounds, to the extent that they differ, and redirect those terms to here. Niche surround and niche surrounds are also to redirect to here.
There has been an existing article Gibbs surround, which is just one type of door surround, specifically of "rusticated", banded style; that topic has a substantial article, which I think should not be merely a section here. --Doncram (talk,contribs) 03:54, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
