FAQs

What is the best way to cut this architrave?

For the cleanest cuts, use a fine-tooth saw. A mitre box is recommended to ensure accurate angles, especially for corner joints.

Can this trim be painted?

No, the trim features a pre-finished smooth foil surface that is designed to be maintenance-free and does not require painting.

What adhesive should I use?

A strong grab adhesive suitable for uPVC and construction is recommended. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for application and curing times.

Is this trim suitable for bathrooms?

Yes, the moisture-resistant uPVC material makes it ideal for use in high-humidity areas like bathrooms and kitchens.

Can I use this trim outdoors?

Yes, the trim is designed for both internal and external applications and is resistant to weathering.

What are the dimensions of this specific product?

This product is 45mm wide and comes in a 5-meter length.

How do I clean the architrave?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Troubleshooting

Trim is not sticking securely.

Ensure the surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use a high-strength grab adhesive specifically designed for uPVC and building materials, or ensure panel pins are adequately secured.

Edges are chipping during cutting.

Use a very fine-tooth saw and ensure the trim is firmly supported during cutting. A mitre box can help guide the saw for cleaner, more precise cuts.

Visible gaps after installation.

Re-measure and re-cut the trim for a tighter fit. Ensure the wall surface is relatively smooth. Minor imperfections can sometimes be filled with a suitable decorator's caulk after installation.

Trim appears discolored over time.

While UV-stable, prolonged direct exposure to intense sunlight in certain climates could potentially affect the color. Ensure the product is suitable for the specific environmental conditions or consider alternative placements if fading is a concern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Measure the perimeter of the window or door frame where the trim will be applied.
  2. Carefully cut the 45mm x 5m uPVC trim to the required lengths using a fine-tooth saw for clean edges. Mitre cuts are recommended for corners.
  3. Prepare the wall surface and the back of the trim, ensuring both are clean and dry.
  4. Apply a suitable grab adhesive to the back of the trim or use panel pins for fixation. Press firmly into place against the wall and frame.
  5. Allow adhesive to cure fully before handling or cleaning.

Compatibility:

This trim is designed to fit standard window and door reveals. While it is a versatile product, ensure the 45mm width is appropriate for the gap you need to cover. It is compatible with most standard building materials.

Care:

To maintain its pristine appearance, simply wipe the trim with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the foil finish.
