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. Hemlock is the preferred softwood for stained moulding. Its pitch-free surface means no bleed-through under paint and no blotching under stain.
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.
- For paint: apply directly -- no knot sealer needed. For stain: hemlock accepts stain evenly with a pre-stain conditioner. For clear finish: sand to 180-grit and apply water-based polyurethane or lacquer.
- 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.
Why choose hemlock over pine?
Hemlock is pitch-free -- no resin bleed under paint, no sticky sap. It also accepts stain more evenly than pine. Hemlock is the premium softwood choice when finish quality matters.
