Product Information

Full details

This Agate Grey Woodgrain PVC Architrave is designed for homeowners and contractors looking to achieve a seamless, professional finish around doors and windows. The 40mm width and 6mm thickness offer a low-profile aesthetic that complements modern interior designs, though the rigid PVC material requires careful handling to prevent snapping during installation compared to traditional timber trims.

FAQs

Can I paint this architrave?

It is not recommended to paint this product, as the woodgrain finish is a decorative foil intended to be left as-is.

What tools do I need to cut it?

A fine-tooth wood saw or a standard handsaw is sufficient for cutting PVC architrave.

Is this suitable for external use?

This product is specifically designed for interior use. Using it outdoors may cause the finish to degrade over time due to UV exposure.

Does it come with fixings included?

No, fixings are not included. You will need to purchase grab adhesive or silicone sealant separately.

Can I use this in a bathroom?

Yes, because the product is made of PVC, it is completely waterproof and ideal for bathroom installations.

How do I hide the adhesive lines?

Apply a thin bead of adhesive and ensure it is set back slightly from the edge to prevent squeeze-out.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not bonding to the wall

Ensure the wall surface is primed or free of loose paint and debris. Use a high-tack grab adhesive specifically designed for PVC and porous surfaces.

Trim is snapping during installation

Ensure you are supporting the length of the 5m piece while cutting. Avoid forcing the trim to bend against irregular wall curves.

Visible gaps at the miter joints

Use a precision miter box to ensure cuts are exactly 45 degrees. Small gaps can be filled with a color-matched PVC sealant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward and requires minimal tools. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and dust-free before application. You can fix the architrave using high-quality grab adhesive, silicone sealant, or cyanoacrylate (superglue) for smaller sections. For care, simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the textured woodgrain foil finish.
