Full details

FAQs

Can I use this outdoors?

This specific architrave is primarily designed for interior use to provide a clean finish around doors and windows.

Does this architrave require painting?

No, it comes with a durable brown finish that does not require any painting or staining.

What is the best way to cut this PVC?

A fine-toothed hand saw or a power miter saw with a blade suitable for plastics will provide the cleanest results.

Can it be installed on uneven walls?

Yes, its slight flexibility allows it to follow minor wall imperfections, though a strong grab adhesive is recommended to bridge gaps.

How do I clean scuffs off the surface?

Use a damp microfibre cloth with a mild soap solution. Avoid scouring pads or harsh chemicals.

What is the length of each board?

Each strip is 5 meters long, allowing for long, continuous runs with fewer joints.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not sticking properly

Ensure the wall surface is free from dust, paint flakes, or moisture before applying adhesive.

Miter joints look uneven

Use a miter block or powered miter saw to ensure precise 45-degree angles on all frame connections.

Board bowing on wall

Use a stronger grab adhesive or apply more frequent, even beads of sealant behind the board to hold it flush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Requires no painting or staining
  • Highly resistant to moisture and rot
  • Easy to clean with simple household detergents
  • Lightweight and simple to cut to size
  • Cost-effective alternative to traditional timber architrave

Cons

  • Not suitable for structural load-bearing applications
  • Can be prone to scratching if hit with sharp objects
  • Requires specific adhesives for optimal bonding
  • Color is limited to the factory finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or debris. Measure your frame length and mark your cuts clearly before using a saw. You can fix the board using a high-quality grab adhesive, which provides an immediate hold, or a combination of silicon sealant if you need a waterproof seal. For smaller touch-ups or specific trim sections, instant superglue is effective. For care, simply wipe down the architrave with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution when cleaning your home; avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh solvents that could mar the brown finish.
