They want to link the entrance and interior doors with one ornament: which wooden capital KL-048 to order for the street and interior

The project has two different openings: an exterior entrance and an interior door in the hall. The designer wants them to read as one architectural system, so they choose the same carved motif — KL-048. In the picture, the solution seems simple: order four identical capitals, two for each portal.

But the same article number does not mean the same order line.

The exterior and interior positions have different operating conditions, different bases, different surroundings, and often different dimensions of the door frame. Therefore, KL-048 is better specified as two separate groups of one article: exterior and interior. For each, the size, material, sanding, future finish, abutment to a pilaster or casing, and mounting base are checked separately.

The KL-048 card allows the use of the capital for doors, columns, and pilasters, as well as in interiors and exteriors. This makes the scenario itself realistic. But the word "exterior" is not a ready-made exterior finishing technology: before ordering, it is necessary to separately agree on how exactly the exterior part will be protected and installed in a specific location.

Wooden capital KL-048: what the current card confirms

KL-048 is a carved wooden capital made of beech or oak. The model has several standard sizes.

For the current configuration, the card shows the gluing quality "Under enamel." The average production time for a missing item is 5–10 days.

As of September 8, 2026, in the fresh STAVROS KL-048 catalog blocks, the price starts from 2,290 ₽. The exact price depends on the selected size, material, and sanding, so it needs to be checked in the card after choosing a specific configuration.

If the design is approved, buy a wooden capital KL-048 better not at the minimum price "from", but by a fully filled project line.

The same ornament does not mean the same size of the outer and inner KL-048

Six sizes are an important feature of this scenario.

The entrance portal can be noticeably wider and higher than the interior door. If you mechanically install the same KL-048 on both openings, the inner portal may get a too heavy top part, and the outer one, on the contrary, too small.

For each opening, measure separately:

• the width of the vertical element on which the capital compositionally rests;
• the free height above the door;
• the projection of adjacent decor;
• the distance to the cornice, canopy, or ceiling;
• the depth of the area where the carved element is located.

After that, standard A/B/C/F KL-048 are compared.

The right goal is not to make two doors physically identical, but to preserve one ornament at an appropriate scale.

A capital for an entrance door and an interior door — two lines of one specification sheet.

Bad specification:

KL-048 / oak / 4 pcs.

It does not show which parts go outside and which go inside, and assumes that all four have identical conditions.

Better:

KL-048 / exterior zone / size ___ / oak or beech / sanding ___ / 2 pcs.

KL-048 / interior / size ___ / oak or beech / sanding ___ / 2 pcs.

Additionally, for each line, the future finish and reference to the opening are specified.

This way, the manager sees that it is one architectural motif but two operational tasks.

Exterior KL-048: what needs to be clarified before placing an order.

The card allows exterior application, but this is not enough for the phrase:

"KL-048 is suitable for outdoor use without additional conditions."

Before ordering an outdoor item, the actual installation location must be described.

Check:

• whether the capital is fully under the canopy;
• whether rain or wet snow falls on it;
• whether there is direct sunlight;
• what base is located behind;
• how the vertical under the capital is executed;
• who is responsible for the exterior finishing system;
• what fastening technology is provided by the project;
• how the ends and the back side should be processed specifically in this system.

The last point cannot be resolved with a universal phrase from the article. The exterior finish needs to be coordinated with the product manufacturer and the finishing contractor.

Interior door KL-048: the main check is the composition with the door framing

In an interior, the climate load is usually not the main issue. Here, mistakes are more often made in scale and alignment.

KL-048 should visually complete the vertical element. If there is no pilaster, casing, or other clear architectural support beneath it, the capital may look like a separate carved piece accidentally glued above the door.

Before purchasing, it is useful to do a frontal layout:

door leaf → casing/vertical → top horizontal → KL-048.

On it, check the width of the vertical and the B dimension of the capital, the side projection, the overall height of the composition, and the free space above.

If you need buy a capital for interior doors specifically for the finished opening, it is better to first get its actual dimensions rather than choosing KL-048 from a product photo.

Beech or oak for KL-048: street is not equal to oak, interior is not equal to beech

You cannot use a simple rule:

street — only oak;

inside — only beech.

Card KL-048 offers both species. The choice must be linked to the finish and the overall decorative system.

For an exterior position, a confirmed protection system for the specific wood in specific conditions is important. For an interior one, it matters whether the texture should remain visible and with which adjacent details the capital must match.

If both portals must have an open oak texture, it is logical to check oak for both zones.

If both portals will be under dense opaque enamel, the question of species becomes different: the project's structural requirements, surface preparation, and a coordinated finish technology are important.

"Under enamel" and "under tinting": you cannot automatically transfer one preparation to both zones

In STAVROS products, the quality of gluing is related to the future finish.

"Under enamel" is used for opaque coatings, where selecting lamellas by pattern is not the main task.

Translucent finishing requires a different logic for wood preparation and texture selection.

Therefore, if the outer portal is planned to be tinted and the inner one painted with opaque enamel, two KL-048 units of the same size and material still cannot be left as a single line item "4 pcs.".

They have different finishing requirements.

Standard or Prestige: we also record the sanding quality separately

KL-048 is available in "Standard" and "Prestige".

"Standard" is machine sanding. "Prestige" is detailed manual sanding with a higher degree of surface readiness.

If the outer capital still undergoes separate complex preparation by the contractor after delivery, the project may deliberately choose one level. If the interior part needs to be maximally ready for finishing, another level is chosen.

But this must be explicitly recorded.

Format:

KL-048 / outer / oak / Standard

KL-048 / interior / oak / Prestige

or the same quality for both zones, if the project so decides.

Capital on the door: first determine what it compositionally rests on

KL-048 is linked in the card not only to doors, but also to columns and pilasters. This is a hint for the correct composition.

Historically, the capital works as the completion of a vertical. In a modern door portal, this vertical can be:

• carved pilaster;
• smooth wooden post;
• wide architrave;
• half-column;
• another architectural element of the project.

If the vertical is not yet chosen, it is too early to buy only the capital.

First, check the entire assembly from bottom to top.

Buy a column capital: when KL-048 should complete a full vertical system

If the project includes a column or pilaster, it is useful to consider not just KL-048 alone, but an architectural trio:

base → vertical → capital.

Each part has its own size, and matching overall style does not guarantee geometric compatibility.

If the project is still being formed, buy a column capital and compare vertical elements better in the same section of pilasters and columns.

There you can also Buy wooden pilasters, if the existing door framing is insufficient for a full composition.

Existing door framing or a new pilaster: two different scenarios

Scenario A — the door is already framed

There is a wide wooden trim or a vertical post. Then KL-048 is matched to the existing geometry.

You need to measure the actual width and projection, then compare them with B and C of the selected capital size.

Scenario B — the portal is built from scratch

You can first choose the vertical element, then the capital, and only then coordinate the horizontal elements.

This makes it easier to avoid a situation where the capital is already purchased, but there is no suitable vertical element for it in the project.

Two doors in one house: when the KL-048 size can be made the same

The same size makes sense if the openings are similar in scale and the vertical elements have the same or very close width.

But the decision is better made based on the drawing, not for the sake of formal symmetry.

For example, if the outer portal is one and a half times wider, a large KL-048 may be justified outside, while the same size inside becomes excessive.

The unity of the ornament is preserved even with different sizes of the same model.

This is a strong point of the KL-048 line: you can repeat the motif without forcibly repeating the dimensions.

How to check KL-048 with a paper template before ordering

For each selected size, cut out a simple rectangular template according to A×B or print the outline at 1:1 scale.

Place it in the intended area.

Check:

• whether the capital touches the ceiling;
• whether it overlaps the adjacent cornice;
• whether the vertical space below it is wide enough;
• whether the element extends too far to the side;
• is the pair on the left and right read the same;
• doesn't the interior portal become visually heavier than the door.

The template does not replace the product drawing, but quickly filters out unsuitable scale.

It is better to order the outer and inner pairs in one request, but not in one line.

If two portals should be related, it is useful to send the entire set to the manager at once.

For example:

KL-048 — entrance portal — 2 pcs.

KL-048 — interior portal — 2 pcs.

Material of the outer pair — ___

Material of the inner pair — ___

Size of the outer pair — ___

Size of inner pair — ___

Finish of outer — to be agreed

Finish of inner — ___

This way the manager sees the overall design concept but does not mix different conditions.

One request is useful organizationally. It is not a guarantee of full matching of the natural wood grain between individual parts.

Carved wood decor: when one KL-048 is compositionally insufficient

Sometimes a paper layout shows that there is a beautiful capital above the door, but there is no connection with the rest of the portal.

In such a case, it is not necessary to add more capitals.

You can Buy carved wood decor from the general catalog and select other elements that connect the vertical, the top part, and the adjacent ornament.

The main thing is not to turn the door portal into a set of random SKUs. Each additional element must serve a clear compositional function.

Finishing materials: we consider exterior and interior KL-048 as different technological items.

The capital itself is only a wooden blank of a certain quality.

After it, the next task appears in the project: finishing.

For interior, this can be an opaque enamel, clear varnish, tinting, or another approved system.

For the exterior item, requirements need to be separately agreed upon based on actual installation conditions.

In the section buy materials for finishing wooden decor You can look at related materials, but the choice of a specific system must be confirmed by the contractor and manufacturer.

You cannot take an interior finishing scheme and automatically transfer it outdoors just because the capital's article number is the same.

What can be made identical for two openings — and what is better not to copy automatically

If the designer's task is to link the entrance and interior doors with one motif, some parameters can indeed be unified.

This table is useful because it does not force a choice between two extremes: either "everything must be the same" or "the exterior and interior doors are not connected at all."

The connection creates a common ornament. The remaining parameters must undergo a separate check.

How many KL-048 are needed for one door portal

One cannot automatically write "two capitals per door" just because a classical portal is often symmetrical.

If KL-048 completes two side verticals, a pair is indeed obtained: on the left and on the right.

But the project may provide for:

• one central capital above the upper part;
• two side capitals;
• four elements with two-sided design of the opening;
• capital only on one architectural vertical;
• combination of KL-048 with other central decor.

Therefore, the quantity is counted by the frontal layout, not by the number of doors.

For a project with one pair outside and one pair inside, the list will be:

KL-048 exterior — 2 pcs.

KL-048 interior — 2 pcs.

Total — 4 pcs.

But these numbers are only correct for a specific symmetrical scheme with two capitals per portal.

One control KL-048 before ordering four pieces

If the project is expensive or the dimensions of the two openings are still in doubt, it is useful to first order one KL-048 of the selected size and material.

On a physical part, you can check what is not visible in the catalog:

• the actual scale of the thread next to the door;
• the depth of C in the side view;
• the protrusion relative to the vertical;
• the quality of sanding;
• the pattern of beech or oak;
• the behavior of the selected test finish;
• the convenience of the installation area.

For an exterior position, the control sample is especially useful as a talking point with the finishing contractor: they can check the compatibility of their system with real wood and relief, rather than with an abstract picture.

After the sample is approved, its parameters are transferred to the specification of the entire batch.

Two different sizes of KL-048 can look like a single set

KL-048 has one ornament scaled in six standard sizes. Therefore, the outer and inner capitals can differ in A/B/C/F, but still be perceived as related.

For example, if the entrance portal is more massive, a larger execution may suit it. An interior door gets a smaller one.

It is important not to choose sizes only by a 1:1 ratio between doors. First, the appropriate geometry for each zone is selected, then the two compositions are compared side by side on a common project sheet.

If the motif reads the same and the proportions of the portals remain natural, different sizes do not break the unity.

What cannot be promised based only on the word "exterior"

The KL-048 description allows exterior use, but universal statements cannot be derived from this:

• that the product can be left without a protective coating;
• that any enamel is suitable for outdoor use;
• that any mounting adhesive is suitable for a facade base;
• that the capital can be placed under direct precipitation;
• that beech or oak do not automatically require maintenance;
• that the interior installation technology is fully transferred outdoors.

Such solutions depend on the actual location, climate, substrate, covering, and instructions of the materials used. This is verified before purchase.

Therefore, the article does not replace an external technical unit. It helps to ask the right questions before ordering.

What to send to the manager before ordering KL-048

The minimum request must be specific.

Such a table is much more useful than the phrase “we need four identical KL-048s.”

What to check in the card right before payment

Since KL-048 has six sizes and several material/finish options, final inspection is performed for each row.

Check:

• correct size;
• beech or oak;
• Standard or Prestige;
• quality of re-gluing;
• current price;
• the deadline;
• quantity;
• Purpose — outdoor or indoor pair.

If the price in the invoice differs from the "from" value, this is not necessarily an error: the base price refers to one specific configuration, and the selected model may be larger or have a different material and finish.

When not to buy KL-048 yet

It is better to postpone the order if:

• Outdoor and indoor openings have not been measured yet;
• One size was chosen only because the ornament is the same;
• It is unclear which vertical the capital rests on;
• For outdoor use, the finishing system has not been agreed upon;
• The buyer believes that the outdoor coating is already included in the product, although this is not confirmed;
• Material not selected;
• Outdoor and indoor items are combined in one line without specifying the purpose;
• there is no frontal sketch of at least one portal;
• the capital is bought before the vertical part of the composition.

In these situations, a pause to clarify the project is cheaper than redoing finished decor.

Where to buy KL-048 and other wooden capitals

If KL-048 is already approved, the final point is the card of the specific model.

To compare other shapes and sizes, you can go to the section capital to buy.

If the composition requires a pilaster or column, go to the section of wooden pilasters and columns.

If you need a wider range of ornaments, go to the Catalog of carved wood decor.

The main ordering principle:

One KL-048 article can connect the street and the interior with a single ornament, but the exterior and interior details must be listed as separate project items.

Their size, material, and finish may match — but only after a separate check of both areas.

Questions before ordering KL-048

Can KL-048 be used for a door?

Yes. The card links the model to door and architectural compositions.

Is KL-048 suitable for exterior use?

The model description indicates use in both interior and exterior. Specific exterior finishing and installation must be coordinated based on actual conditions.

What is KL-048 made of?

in beech or oak.

How many sizes does KL-048 have?

Six standard sizes — from 72×70×70×40 to 175×170×170×95 mm.

Should the same size be taken for the entrance and interior door?

No. The ornament can be the same, but the scale can be different. Both openings are measured separately.

What to choose: beech or oak?

The choice is linked to the finishing, adjacent elements, and project requirements. There is no universal rule of "oak for the street, beech for the interior."

Are there Standard and Prestige versions?

Yes, the current card shows both sanding qualities.

What does "under enamel" mean?

This is a gluing quality designed for opaque finishing; it is not a ready-made paint finish.

Can I order four KL-048 in one line?

Technically possible, but for a project with an exterior and interior, it is better to split 2+2 by purpose.

Do I need to buy pilasters together with the capital?

Not necessarily. If the existing vertical element fits in geometry and composition, the capital can be integrated into it. If the portal is built from scratch, the pilaster should be considered in advance.

How to choose the size of KL-048 for a pilaster?

Based on actual vertical dimensions and the capital drawing. You cannot choose only by photo.

Can the exterior and interior KL-048 be made of different materials?

Yes, as a deliberate design decision. If a unified material system is required, the stone type is fixed identically.

Does the price of KL-048 really start from 2,290 ₽?

As of the check in the latest STAVROS catalogs, the model is listed from 2,290 ₽. The exact price depends on size, material, and polishing.

How long is the manufacturing wait?

For a missing item, the card indicates an average lead time of 5–10 days.

What should be checked last before payment?

The size of each pair, material, polishing, quality of gluing, exterior/interior purpose, finish, quantity, and current price.
