FAQs

Can I use these architraves outdoors?

While PVC is moisture-resistant, these are specifically designed for interior finishings. Check product ratings if you intend to use them in exposed exterior conditions.

Can I paint this architrave?

The material comes with a permanent finish and is not intended to be painted.

What is the best way to cut the PVC?

A fine-toothed hand saw or a miter saw fitted with a blade suitable for plastics provides the cleanest cuts.

Does it come with fixings?

No, this product is designed for adhesive installation; adhesives should be purchased separately based on your specific wall substrate.

Can I use this on uneven walls?

PVC has some flexibility, but for significant gaps, you may need to use a flexible decorators caulk to bridge the gap between the wall and the trim.

What happens if I get adhesive on the front surface?

Wipe away immediately with a clean cloth. Depending on the adhesive, you may need a small amount of plastic cleaner, but test in a hidden area first.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive failing to bond

Ensure the wall surface is not porous or dusty. If the wall is unstable, use a small amount of mechanical fixing or improve surface priming.

Rough edges after cutting

Use a finer blade or gently sand the cut edge with a very fine-grit sanding block to restore a smooth finish.

Trim pulling away from the wall

Ensure the weight is supported while the adhesive cures. If the wall is bowed, use a stronger grab adhesive or apply more pressure during the initial set time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are dry, clean, and free of dust or oils before application.
  2. Cutting: Measure your frame accurately and use a fine-toothed saw to cut the architrave to length.
  3. Adhesion: Apply a high-quality grab adhesive or silicone sealant in a zig-zag pattern along the back of the trim.
  4. Placement: Press the trim firmly against the frame and hold or tape until the adhesive sets.
  5. Finishing: Use a color-matched silicone to fill any slight gaps at the joints or edges.
  6. Care: To clean, simply wipe down with a soft damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or solvents that may dull the finish.
