Product Overview
White primed MDF architrave in an ogee profile, measuring 18mm x 68mm in a 4400mm length. Designed for use around doors and windows, this architrave conceals gaps between frames and plasterwork while adding a decorative surround.
The ogee profile is characterised by its flowing “S” curve, producing an elegant transition into the board face. This creates a graceful, refined frame effect, making it a popular choice for traditional interiors and formal living spaces.
Manufactured from MDF, the board is stable, uniform, and free from knots, twisting, or natural imperfections. Its primed surface provides a smooth, even base ready for a chosen topcoat.
Supplied in long factory-cut lengths, the architrave installs quickly and consistently, ensuring a professional result in both refurbishment and new-build projects.
