FAQs

Can this architrave be painted?

It is designed to be maintenance-free with a pre-finished woodgrain effect. Painting is not recommended as it will void the aesthetic finish.

Is the material flexible?

It has moderate flexibility to accommodate slight wall undulations, but should not be bent around tight curves.

What is the best way to cut this material?

A standard fine-toothed wood saw or a power miter saw with a blade suitable for plastic/PVC will produce the cleanest results.

Can it be used outdoors?

While it is durable and moisture-resistant, it is primarily designed for interior use as a decorative architrave.

Does it come with fixings?

No, fixings and adhesives are sold separately to allow you to choose the best bonding agent for your specific wall type.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive failing to bond to the wall

Ensure the wall is free of dust, grease, or peeling paint. If the wall is porous, prime it before applying adhesive.

Miter joints look gapped

Use a sharp, fine-toothed miter saw to ensure 45-degree angles are precise; use a small amount of color-matched filler for minor imperfections.

  • Sophisticated woodgrain aesthetic
  • Long 5-meter length reduces the need for joints

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Steps

  1. Measure the door or window frame accurately, accounting for the 45-degree miter cuts at the corners.
  2. Cut the architrave to size using a fine-toothed hand saw or a miter saw for perfect corner joints.
  3. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from loose debris or dust.
  4. Apply a generous bead of high-quality grab adhesive or silicon sealant to the back of the trim.
  5. Press firmly against the wall and frame, holding until the bond sets. You may use small pins for additional support while the adhesive cures.

Care and Maintenance

  • To clean, simply wipe with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution.
  • Avoid the use of abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical solvents that may scratch the woodgrain surface.
