The Snowdon Timber Ogee Architrave is designed for homeowners and professional joiners seeking a classic, decorative finish for interior door and window frames. Its primary benefit is the pre-prepared, smooth surface that minimizes sanding and priming time, ensuring a high-quality aesthetic result. A notable caveat is that the product is supplied as unfinished natural timber, meaning you must invest time in painting or staining the boards to match your interior decor before installation.

No, it arrives as smooth, natural timber ready for you to paint or stain in your preferred color.
Each piece is 2.1 meters long, and there are 5 pieces per pack.
It is intended for interior use. If used in a high-moisture area like a bathroom, ensure it is thoroughly sealed with high-quality, moisture-resistant paint on all sides.
Use a sharp miter saw for clean, accurate cuts, especially when creating corner joints.
A good quality wood primer followed by an undercoat and a topcoat of eggshell, satin, or gloss finish is recommended.
Ensure your miter saw is calibrated to exactly 45 degrees and use a small amount of wood glue to bond the corners securely.
Ensure the timber is fixed securely at regular intervals along the wall using appropriate fixings to pull the wood flush to the frame.
Before installation, it is recommended to store the timber in the room where it will be fitted for 24-48 hours to allow the wood to acclimatize to the ambient moisture levels. Use high-quality wood glue for miter joints and ensure the architrave is secured using finish nails or panel pins. While the surface is pre-smoothed, a light rub-down with fine-grit sandpaper after the first coat of paint can help achieve a professional, glass-like finish. Always seal all sides, including the rear, with primer or paint to prevent warping caused by humidity changes.
