The Freefoam PVC Architrave in Chartwell Green is designed for homeowners and contractors looking for a low-maintenance, aesthetically pleasing finish for door and window frames. This durable trim offers the professional look of traditional wood without the associated issues of rotting or the need for constant painting, making it a perfect long-term solution for interior upgrades. However, users should note that as a rigid PVC product, it requires precise cutting to achieve seamless miter joints, and it is intended for interior use where it will not be subjected to extreme structural stress.

The product is designed with a pre-finished surface intended to be left as-is. Painting is not recommended as standard paints may not adhere well to the PVC surface.
You will need a fine-toothed hand saw or chop saw, a mitre box for corner cuts, a tape measure, and a high-quality grab adhesive or silicone.
This specific architrave is intended for interior finishes. For exterior use, ensure you are selecting a product explicitly rated for outdoor weather resistance.
Yes, because the material is PVC, it is highly moisture resistant and will not rot or warp in humid environments like bathrooms.
Always use a sharp, fine-toothed saw and cut slowly. Do not apply excessive pressure when sawing to prevent chipping the PVC edges.
Ensure the wall is free of paint flakes and dust. If necessary, lightly sand the area where the adhesive will be applied to create a better bond.
Use a mitre block to ensure perfect 45-degree angles. You can hide minor gaps using a small amount of matching colored sealant.
Check that the adhesive used is suitable for PVC to masonry or wood. Ensure the trim is held firmly in place with masking tape until the adhesive has fully cured.
Installation of the Freefoam PVC Architrave is straightforward but requires proper surface preparation. Before application, ensure that your wall or frame surface is dry, clean, and free of loose dust or debris. You may use high-quality grab adhesive for quick-set mounting or a combination of silicone sealant and light nailing for a more permanent hold. For corners, use a mitre box to ensure your 45-degree cuts are precise. Maintenance is minimal; simply wipe the surface down with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent if it collects dust. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical solvents, as these may scratch the surface or affect the Chartwell Green finish.
