Product Information

Full details

Designed for DIY enthusiasts and trade professionals alike, this 60mm PVC architrave by Freefoam offers a durable, maintenance-free solution for framing interior doors and windows. The agate grey woodgrain finish provides a sophisticated, modern aesthetic that mimics natural timber without the risk of rotting or warping. While it is highly versatile and easy to install, users should note that the 5-meter length is rigid and requires careful transport and storage to prevent surface scratches or bending before installation.

FAQs

Can I paint this architrave?

This product is finished with a durable agate grey woodgrain film and is not intended to be painted.

Is this architrave suitable for outdoor use?

No, this specific woodgrain PVC architrave is designed exclusively for interior applications.

How do I cut the 5-meter length?

Use a fine-tooth hacksaw or a dedicated PVC trim saw to ensure a clean, smooth cut without damaging the surface.

What adhesive should I use?

A standard high-strength grab adhesive or clear silicone sealant is typically recommended for fixing the trim to flat surfaces.

Does the trim come with fixings?

No, the trim is supplied as a single 5-meter length. Adhesive or nails must be purchased separately.

Can I use this on uneven walls?

PVC is somewhat flexible, but it is best suited for relatively flat surfaces; significant wall irregularities may require extra adhesive or mechanical fixings.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive failing to bond to wall

Ensure the wall is free from dust and grease. Use a high-quality grab adhesive suitable for PVC-to-plaster bonds.

Mitre joints do not align perfectly

Use a sharp mitre saw or a high-quality mitre box to ensure the 45-degree angle is precise.

Surface scratches during installation

Use masking tape on the area where the saw will make contact to minimize surface damage during the cutting process.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to moisture and rot
  • No painting or staining required
  • Low maintenance cleaning
  • Lightweight and easy to cut to size
  • Professional woodgrain texture

Cons

  • 5-meter lengths may be difficult to transport
  • Cannot be sanded or refinished like real wood
  • Requires precise cutting to avoid splintering the PVC
  • Limited to internal use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward and requires minimal tools: a measuring tape, a fine-tooth saw, a mitre block for corners, and an appropriate adhesive. Before installation, ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust to allow the adhesive to bond effectively. When mitring corners, take extra care to align the woodgrain pattern for a seamless look. To care for the architrave after installation, simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent when needed. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can damage the finish and woodgrain texture.
