Architrave

Architraves are architectural pieces that serve to function both aesthetically and practically, so it is important that are strong, resilient, and eye-catching. At DIY Megastore, we aim to provide you with architrave pieces that meet all 3 of these requirements, with exceptional products made from high-quality materials, and enough variation to ensure that you can find the perfect architrave for your home. 

Architraves play 2 main roles in architecture. Functionally, they serve to conceal the joint between the door or window frame and the adjacent wall, providing a clean and seamless transition. Decoratively, they add an elegant and finished touch to the interior. Architraves can be crafted from a variety of materials, including wood, MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard), plaster, and even PVC or polyurethane. Architraves come in various styles, ranging from simple, clean lines to more ornate and decorative profiles. The choice of design can be influenced by the overall architectural style of the space. For example, classical or traditional interiors may feature more elaborate architraves with detailed carvings, while modern interiors often lean towards sleek and minimalist designs.

Architraves should prove fairly easy to install for those with a history of construction projects, or even those established DIY enthusiasts. Ours are highly customisable, which means you can easily add your own finishing touches to them in order to truly make them your own. Architraves, like other interior trim elements, require regular maintenance to keep them looking their best. Dusting and occasional cleaning with a mild detergent can help remove dirt and grime. Depending on the material, they may also benefit from occasional refinishing or repainting to maintain their appearance.
