Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam 90mm Black PVC Architrave is designed for homeowners and contractors looking for a durable, maintenance-free solution for finishing interior door frames and window reveals. Its primary advantage lies in its moisture-resistant PVC construction, which ensures it will not rot, warp, or require painting like traditional timber trim. However, users should note that as a rigid PVC product, it requires precise measurement and cutting, as it lacks the malleability of wood during installation.

FAQs

Can I paint this architrave?

This product comes pre-finished in black and is not designed to be painted.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

This product is designed for interior detailing; while moisture-resistant, it is not intended for exterior architectural use.

How do I cut the material safely?

Use a sharp fine-tooth hand saw or a power mitre saw with a fine blade. Wear appropriate eye protection.

Can I use nails to install this?

While adhesive is recommended for a cleaner look, you can use thin, headless pins if you have a pneumatic nailer, though adhesive is preferred.

What should I do if the wall is uneven?

Use a flexible gap-filling sealant along the rear edge to accommodate irregularities between the wall and the trim.

How long is each piece?

Each individual length of architrave is 5 meters long.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not bonding properly

Ensure the wall surface is free from loose paint, dust, or wallpaper before application.

Rough edges after cutting

Use a fine-tooth saw specifically designed for plastics and ensure the board is supported while cutting.

Visible gaps at corners

Use a black-colored silicone sealant or touch-up filler to blend the mitre joints for a seamless appearance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to rot and moisture unlike timber
  • No requirement for sanding, priming, or painting
  • Generous 5-meter length minimizes waste
  • Easy to clean with a simple damp cloth
  • Modern, high-contrast aesthetic

Cons

  • Not as impact-resistant as solid hardwood
  • Requires careful cutting to prevent splintering or cracking
  • Black finish may show scratches or dust more prominently than white
  • Rigidity can make installing on uneven surfaces challenging

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Measure your frames accurately before cutting the 5-meter lengths. You can attach the architrave using standard grab adhesive, or for smaller fixes, a reliable superglue or silicone sealant.

Maintenance is minimal: simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or strong solvents, as these can dull the black finish or cause micro-scratches on the surface.
