FAQs

Can I paint this architrave?

This product comes with a factory-finished black surface and is designed to be maintenance-free. Painting is generally not recommended or necessary.

What tools are best for cutting this PVC?

A fine-tooth handsaw or an electric miter saw with a blade suitable for plastics will provide the cleanest cut.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

While PVC is weather-resistant, this product is primarily designed for interior architrave applications.

How do I fix it if I don't want to use nails?

You can use high-strength grab adhesive or silicone sealant, which are excellent for a clean, nail-free finish.

Does the 6mm thickness provide enough coverage?

The 6mm thickness is ideal for standard interior door frames and window reveals to provide a low-profile, clean finish.

Can I use this in a shower room?

Yes, because it is made of moisture-resistant PVC, it is an excellent choice for high-humidity areas like shower rooms or kitchens.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not sticking to the wall

Ensure the wall surface is clean and free of loose paint or dust before applying the adhesive.

Visible gaps in miter joints

Use a miter block or high-precision miter saw to ensure 45-degree angles are perfectly flush before final bonding.

Surface scuffs during installation

Use a small amount of specialized PVC cleaner to gently buff out light marks, avoiding harsh solvents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Steps:

Measure the height and width of your door frame or window opening precisely.
Cut the architrave to size using a fine-tooth saw or a miter saw for clean 45-degree corner joints.
Ensure the surface being bonded to is clean, dry, and free of dust or debris.
Apply a continuous bead of high-quality grab adhesive or silicone sealant to the rear of the trim.
Press the architrave firmly into place and hold briefly while the adhesive sets.

Compatibility:

Works effectively with masonry, plaster, and timber surfaces.
Use compatible PVC-grade adhesives for the most secure bond.

Care Instructions:

Clean with a soft, non-abrasive cloth dampened with warm soapy water.
Avoid the use of solvent-based cleaners or abrasive pads that may mar the black surface finish.
