FAQs

What tools are needed for installation?

You'll need a saw, measuring tape, pencil, sand paper, nails or construction adhesive, and a hammer or nail gun.

Can I use this architrave in a bathroom?

While suitable for interior use, consider the humidity levels in a bathroom. Ensure proper sealing and finishing to protect against moisture.

What type of paint should I use?

Use interior grade paint suitable for wood surfaces. Consider using an oil-based primer for best results.

How do I remove old architrave?

Carefully pry it off using a pry bar, being cautious not to damage the surrounding wall or door frame. You may need to cut through any adhesive with a utility knife.

Can I stain the architrave?

Yes, you can stain the architrave. Ensure you use a wood stain appropriate for the pine material and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

What is the best way to cut the architrave?

A miter saw or hand saw with a miter box will provide the most accurate cuts. Ensure the blade is sharp for clean edges.

How much architrave will I need?

Measure the perimeter of each door frame and add a little extra for waste. The GoodHome architrave comes in 2.1m lengths.

Troubleshooting

Architrave does not fit the door frame.

Double-check measurements and ensure accurate cutting. You may need to trim the architrave to fit.

Paint or stain does not adhere properly.

Ensure the surface is clean and properly prepared before painting or staining. Use a primer.

Architrave is splitting or cracking during installation.

Pre-drill pilot holes before nailing to prevent splitting. Use a suitable adhesive.

Uneven finish after painting or staining.

Sand the surface lightly between coats of paint or stain. Apply multiple thin coats.
