Hello. I have rebuilt our "pizzeria arch" that was in the living room when we bought the house. I have made a traditional "square opening" and am now going to buy door frames.
The framework used is 45x70 and 10mm chipboard. So the opening is 90mm thick.
Now to the issue, the only door frames I find are 80, 95, 110mm.
Aren't there any in 90mm? What would you have done?

You shouldn't cover the chipboard with plasterboard? Should have gone with 95 as it's nicer for it to be slightly uneven rather than completely even with the boards if you're not going to have molding.
The walls are wallpapered so that's not an option, unfortunately. Trim, however, will be used.Stefan N said:
you install it so it aligns with the wall from one side. On that side, just install the trim as usual.
on the other side, you install a lining of 10mm +- a few mm, the wall is probably not straight.
then you install the trim against that as usual.

Aha! Thanks for the tip. But as I understand it with the casing I've found, the corners are rounded, which would make for an awkward jointA Aunty said:
Alternatively, you take one at 95mm and plane down 5mm. Or adjust the error so it isn't visible when the trim is in place.
