Product Information
Full details
The B&Q Ovolo Architrave is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a professional, elegant finish around door frames. It provides a clean, modern aesthetic that complements various interior styles, with the primary benefit of being highly customizable due to its primed surface. While it offers durability and ease of installation, users should note that as a primed product, it requires a final coat of paint to achieve a polished, finished look.

FAQs
Does the architrave come pre-painted?
No, it comes with a primed finish, which acts as a base layer so you can apply your preferred topcoat color.
Can this be used in a bathroom?
While durable, it is not specifically treated for high-moisture environments. Ensure it is fully sealed with high-quality paint if used in a bathroom.
What tools are needed for installation?
A miter saw for clean angled cuts, a hammer and nails or a pneumatic nail gun, and wood glue for the joints.
Can I use standard wood filler on this?
Yes, standard wood filler is suitable for filling nail holes before sanding and painting.
Is the white finish the final color?
The factory white is a primer intended to be covered by your chosen wall or trim paint.
Troubleshooting
Miter joints do not sit flush
Check your wall for plumb and adjust your miter saw angle slightly to compensate for wall imperfections.
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface is free of dust or oils by wiping it down with a tack cloth before applying your final coat of paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic woodworking tools such as a miter saw, wood glue, and either finish nails or a nail gun. Ensure your door frame surface is level and clean of debris before mounting. When cutting, measure twice to ensure the miter joints fit tightly at the corners. For maintenance, keep the architrave clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the paint finish. If the material becomes chipped, a simple light sand and a touch-up with your matching paint will restore the original appearance.
