Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam PVC Architrave in Brown is an ideal solution for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a low-maintenance, wood-effect finish for interior door and window frames. This 65mm trim offers a clean, professional aesthetic with its classic bullnosed design, providing a moisture-resistant alternative to traditional timber. While it excels in durability and ease of installation, users should be aware that the rigid PVC material does not flex as much as soft wood and requires precise cutting to achieve a perfect mitred corner.

FAQs

Can I paint this architrave?

This product comes with a finished woodgrain effect and is not designed to be painted.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a saw, a mitre box for clean corners, a measuring tape, and your preferred adhesive.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

This specific architrave is designed for interior use to provide a clean finish to door and window reveals.

How do I cut the PVC without damaging the finish?

Use a fine-toothed saw and cut slowly. Placing masking tape over the cut line can help prevent edge splintering.

Can this be used on uneven walls?

Yes, but you may need to use a strong flexible grab adhesive to accommodate slight variations in the wall surface.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not bonding correctly

Ensure both the wall surface and the back of the PVC trim are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application.

Gaps at the mitre joints

Use a finer tooth blade for cutting and consider using a small amount of matching coloured decorators caulk to fill minor gaps for a seamless finish.

Trim is bowing or not sitting flush

Check that the wall surface is level; if the wall is uneven, apply extra adhesive at the high points to pull the trim tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Steps:

  1. Measure the length required for each side of the door or window frame.
  2. Cut the architrave to size using a mitre box to ensure accurate 45-degree angles for corners.
  3. Apply a high-quality grab adhesive, silicone sealant, or cyanoacrylate (superglue) to the back of the trim.
  4. Press firmly against the wall and door frame, using temporary pins if necessary to secure the position until the adhesive bonds.

Care Instructions:

To keep your architrave in top condition, simply wipe it with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent when needed. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh solvent-based cleaners that could damage the woodgrain finish.
