Granite Door Frame Chowkhat Detail Section for 3-inch Walls

This detailed section drawing illustrates four variations of granite door frame chowkhat installations for 3-inch wall thicknesses. The drawing showcases Photo Frame Chowkhat, Normal Chowkhat with Round Molding (shown in two variations), and Normal Chowkhat with Chamfer. Each design features a granite/marble frame secured with mortar/adhesive, integrated with 1:6 cement-sand mix plaster wall finishing. The patam (rebate) for doors is designed to accommodate varying door thicknesses, with the frame dimensions showing a 1-1/2″ depth. The round molding and chamfer details include polish finishing for aesthetic enhancement. Brick work interfaces are referenced to civil, in essence, work drawings for proper integration. These chowkhat details are particularly suitable for premium residential applications where natural stone door frames offer both durability and visual appeal. The designs demonstrate practical solutions for transitioning between wall finishes and door openings while maintaining structural integrity.
