Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam 90mm Grey PVC Architrave is designed for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts looking for a low-maintenance, high-quality solution to frame doorways and windows. Its primary benefit is its long-lasting, weather-resistant PVC composition that eliminates the need for painting or regular sanding. However, users should note that the 6mm thickness profile is best suited for flush mounting and may require careful handling during transport to prevent bowing in the 5-meter lengths.

FAQs

Can this architrave be painted?

It is designed with a durable pre-finished surface and generally does not require painting. Painting is not recommended as standard paints may not adhere well to the PVC surface.

What tools are needed to cut the 90mm PVC architrave?

A fine-tooth handsaw or a power miter saw with a blade suitable for plastics will produce the cleanest results.

Is this product suitable for external use?

While PVC is weather-resistant, this specific product is primarily intended for interior finishing applications.

How do I join two pieces if my door frame is larger than 5 meters?

Use a high-quality PVC-compatible adhesive to butt-joint the pieces, or create a scarf joint for a cleaner look.

Does the 6mm thickness vary?

The product is manufactured to a consistent 6mm thickness throughout the profile length.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive failing to bond

Ensure the wall surface is free of dust, grease, and loose paint before applying adhesive.

Visible gaps at mitered corners

Check that the wall is plumb and use a miter box to ensure precise 45-degree cuts for tight fitting.

Surface scuffing during installation

Use a soft-bristled brush or a microfiber cloth with warm, soapy water to gently buff out surface marks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to moisture and rot
  • Requires zero painting or maintenance
  • Lightweight and easy to cut with standard tools
  • Provides a sleek, uniform finish

Cons

  • 6mm thickness may be too thin for some historical restoration projects
  • 5-meter lengths can be cumbersome to transport
  • Cannot be sanded or refinished like traditional timber

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure the wall surface is flat, clean, and dry before installation. When cutting the architrave to size, measure twice and use a miter block to ensure accurate 45-degree corner cuts. To fix the profile to the wall, apply a high-quality grab adhesive or a professional-grade silicone sealant to the rear of the board. Hold the piece firmly in place until the bond sets. If using superglue for corner miters, apply sparingly to avoid surface discoloration. Care is minimal: simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth and a mild non-abrasive household cleaner to remove dust or scuff marks. Avoid using harsh solvents or wire brushes which may mar the smooth finish.
