Architrave

Architrave meaning

Architrave is a moulding that fits around the door frames or any sides including the vertical members of a frame around a door or window.

Its purpose is decorative rather than structural and is placed over the door casings and linings, which can be purchased separately.

Architrave Types

Our high-quality door architrave is available in a variety of door architrave designs, that makes it easier for skirting boards and architraves to be chosen to complement each other:

  • Bullnose door architrave has a rounded top edge
  • Chamfered door architrave a sloping top edge
  • Ogee door architrave offers a nice curvy design
  • Ovolo door architrave has a traditional curved edge at the top
  • Torus door architrave is like the Ogee, with a curvy profile
  • Lambs Tongue door architrave has a square angled edge at the top
  • Pencil door architrave has a slightly rounded edge of the top of the profile
  • Square Edge door architrave offers a simple square edged design.
Architraves are either primed or unfinished, giving you the freedom to apply the best paint or stain to perfectly match those used in other mouldings or furnishings around the room. This allows you to create consistency:

Primed MDF door Architrave made from Medium Density Fibreboard is primed and ready if you want to paint your architrave, for a clean finish without any knots that are common in woods.

Redwood is a softwood that could be chosen if you want to apply a stain finish or if you want the option to sand it down in the future.

White Oak veneered door architrave is made from high quality oak to a low-density core that will resist warping and moisture and works as a great alternative to solid oak. This can also be stained for an even greater finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much architrave per door?
When adding door architrave to a standard door size you need 2 upright legs which usually measures at 2440mm and 1 head at 1220mm. However, this will depend on what size door you have, to be sure you will need to measure by holding the architrave length against the left hand side of the door using the margins as a guide. Where the margin at the top of the door meets the piece you’re holding is where you mark the architrave.
What architrave sizes can I choose from?
At Howarth Timber and Building Supplies we offer a range of different size architrave to suit your needs. Ranging from thicknesses 15mm architrave, 18mm, 19mm and 25mm. The architrave lengths are ranging from 2400mm (2.4m) lengths, 4400mm (4.4m lengths), or 5400mm (5.4m lengths) giving you more freedom when cutting to the size of door architrave you need.
How do I fit architrave around a door?
Before you begin permanently fixing the architrave, make sure the wall behind the door and the pieces of architrave itself are clean and clear of filth. Dirty walls or trapped dust may cause an adhesive to fail, so make sure you fully clean and dry the area first. The final step is to secure the architrave. Each vertical length requires six nails, while the 'head' requires four nails. It's also worth inserting an extra nail from the 'head' into each 'leg' to attach the architraves to each other as well as the wall behind, preventing them from moving away from one other and causing gapes at the mitre.
What is the difference between a door frame and architrave?
A door frame is the supportive structure that holds the wall opening together and where the door will sit, and the architrave is the decorative moulding around it.
