Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam Black PVC Architrave is designed for homeowners and contractors looking for a durable, low-maintenance finishing touch for door and window frames. Its key benefit is its resilient PVC construction that resists warping and rot while providing a modern, clean black aesthetic; however, users should note that as a rigid material, it requires precise cutting to ensure seamless mitred corners.

FAQs

Can I paint this architrave?

No, this product is designed with a pre-finished black surface and is not intended to be painted.

What tools do I need to cut the PVC?

A fine-tooth saw is sufficient to achieve clean cuts through the PVC material.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

While PVC is weather-resistant, this specific product is primarily intended for interior finishing. Check with your supplier if you intend to use it externally.

Can I use nails to install this?

While adhesive is recommended for a cleaner look, you can use panel pins, but ensure you use a black touch-up or cover cap to hide the pin heads.

How long is each length?

Each individual length of architrave is 5 meters long.

Does the PVC warp over time?

No, one of the primary benefits of PVC over timber is that it remains stable and will not warp or twist with changes in temperature or humidity.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not bonding properly

Ensure the wall surface is completely free of dust, grease, or peeling paint before applying adhesive.

Gaps at the corners

Use a miter block when cutting angles to ensure a 45-degree match, or use a black-colored caulk to fill small gaps.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to moisture and rot
  • No painting or ongoing maintenance required
  • Easy to cut and install with standard tools
  • Modern, uniform black finish

Cons

  • Rigid material requires careful measurement
  • Visible join marks if not mitred perfectly
  • Cannot be sanded or refinished like timber

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust. Measure the door or window frame accurately and use a fine-tooth saw to cut the PVC to size. Apply a bead of silicone sealant or grab adhesive along the back of the trim, press it firmly against the frame, and hold in place until the adhesive sets. For maintenance, simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or solvent-based cleaners, as these may dull the smooth black finish or scratch the surface.
