Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam PVC Architrave is designed for homeowners and professional tradespeople looking for a durable, maintenance-free finishing solution for interior door frames and window surrounds. Its key benefit is the robust, smooth black finish that requires no painting or sanding, making it an ideal choice for modern interior designs. A notable caveat is that while it offers a sleek aesthetic, it is a rigid plastic product that cannot be sanded or filled like traditional timber, meaning precise measurements and cuts are essential during installation.

FAQs

Can this architrave be painted?

No, this product comes with a permanent smooth black finish and is not designed to be painted.

What is the best way to cut this PVC?

A standard fine-toothed hand saw or a powered mitre saw with a sharp blade will provide the cleanest results.

Is this product suitable for external use?

While PVC is weather-resistant, this specific architrave is designed for interior finishing applications.

Can I use nails to attach it?

Adhesive is recommended for a cleaner finish, but if you must use nails, ensure they are thin, non-corrosive pins to prevent splitting the PVC.

How do I remove adhesive stains from the face of the trim?

Wipe away excess adhesive immediately with a damp cloth; if it has dried, use a gentle PVC-compatible solvent cleaner, testing it on an off-cut first.

Troubleshooting

Trim not sticking to the wall surface

Ensure the wall is clean and free of paint flakes or dust; if the wall is uneven, use a stronger grab adhesive or provide temporary support until the glue cures.

Visible gaps at mitre joints

Use a small amount of black-pigmented silicone sealant to fill the gap and wipe away excess immediately with a damp cloth.

Trim edges look jagged after cutting

Switch to a finer-toothed saw blade and ensure the trim is fully supported while cutting to prevent vibration.

Pros and Cons

Maintenance-free surface that never needs painting
High resistance to moisture, humidity, and warping

Cons

Cannot be sanded or filled like wood if damaged
Fixed colour means you cannot change the finish later
Requires precise cutting as joints are highly visible

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the wall surface is dry, clean, and free of dust. Measure your frame length and mark your mitre cuts carefully. Use a high-quality grab adhesive applied in a zig-zag pattern along the back of the trim, or utilize a professional-grade silicon sealant for a flexible bond. Hold the trim firmly against the frame until the adhesive sets. For minor gaps at corners, a matching black sealant can be used for a seamless appearance. To maintain the finish, simply wipe the architrave with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can dull or scratch the smooth black surface.
