As well as supplying plastic cladding, fascias and wall cladding, many DIY suppliers will have available items such as architrave and trim. Architrave is the piece of wood or wood effect plastic which will cover the gap between door frame and wall. There are various styles of architrave available, some quite detailed and decorative, others quite plain really. As leading experts in plastic fabrication, we understand decorative features such as these.
Each piece of decor in the area must be chosen carefully in order to create a good balance. At Bliby Plastics we supply several different wood-effect styles from which you can choose the one that will suit your room best. Having selected the perfect architrave, you now need to install it. Under normal circumstance, architrave will finish at the floor. In some homes, however, it will end at the skirting board. Measure how long you will need each section of architrave but do be careful to ensure it is between five and ten millimetres away from the door casing. If it is too close to the door casing, you will have the added inconvenience of needing to cut around the door hinges.
Mark all lengths with the cut’s direction to avoid making the mistake of cutting it the wrong way. Also worth considering is assembling the frame on the floor first. Use an appropriate glue to secure the lengths together and screw it from the top so that the screw heads will not be seen.
We are experts in plastic fabircation, and have a wide range of products, including PVC cladding.
