Product Information

Full details

The B&Q Chamfered Architrave is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a clean, modern aesthetic around door frames and internal openings. Its primary benefit lies in its high-quality primed white finish, which provides a ready-to-paint surface for seamless integration into any color scheme; however, installers should note that it requires mitre cutting and professional-grade adhesive or pin-fixing to ensure a crisp, gap-free fit.

FAQs

Can this be used in a bathroom?

This product is designed for general interior use. If used in a bathroom, ensure it is fully sealed with high-quality gloss paint to prevent moisture ingress.

Do I need to prime this before painting?

No, the product comes pre-primed. You can apply your chosen topcoat directly onto the surface.

What is the best way to attach it?

It is recommended to use a combination of flexible grab adhesive and small lost-head pins for a secure hold.

Can it be used for purposes other than door frames?

Yes, its clean profile makes it suitable for window reveals or other decorative trim applications.

What is the thickness of the architrave?

The thickness is 14.5mm.

Troubleshooting

Joints do not meet perfectly at corners

Use a mitre block to ensure 45-degree angles are precise; use wood filler to conceal minor gaps before painting.

Surface feels rough before painting

Lightly sand the primed surface with fine-grit sandpaper (240 grit) to achieve a smooth finish before applying the first coat of paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a professional finish, measure your door frame height and width accurately before purchasing. Always allow an extra 10-15% for waste during the cutting process. Use a high-quality wood adhesive or finish nails to attach the architrave to the door lining. Ensure the surface is dust-free before applying your topcoat. For long-term care, wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth; if marks occur, a slightly damp cloth with mild detergent is usually sufficient. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the paint finish.
