Common Uses
Installed around doors and windows like standard casing but produces a more substantial, formal appearance due to the wider profile and architectural detailing. MDF is a paint-only material. It does not accept stain and must be kept dry -- do not install in bathrooms or high-humidity areas.
Pro Tips
- Architrave profiles are wider than standard casing -- verify that the wall space between the frame and adjacent walls, cabinets, or other openings can accommodate the wider trim before purchasing.
- Apply two coats of quality interior latex paint in satin or semi-gloss directly over the factory primer. Seal all cut edges with primer before painting -- exposed MDF edges absorb paint unevenly.
- Mitre joints on wide architrave profiles must be precise -- even small gaps are highly visible on wide trim. Test-fit all joints dry before gluing and nailing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between architrave and casing?
Both frame door and window openings, but architrave is wider and more ornate with stepped or layered detailing. Casing is the standard trim; architrave is the upgraded, formal version.
Can I use MDF moulding in a bathroom?
No. MDF absorbs moisture and swells irreversibly. Use solid wood (hemlock or cedar) moulding in bathrooms and high-humidity areas.
