Frequently asked questions about the MDF door architraves category
What are MDF door architraves and what are they used for?
MDF door architraves are decorative cover mouldings made from medium-density fibreboard that hide gaps between the door frame and wall, protect the edges and finish the look of internal doors. They come in various profiles and sizes (thicknesses around 10–16 mm, widths 42–80 mm, lengths 2170, 2200 or 5500 mm).
What standard sizes of MDF architraves are available in this category?
This range includes common sizes with thicknesses around 10–16 mm, widths 42, 58, 70 and 80 mm, and lengths 2170 mm, 2200 mm and 5500 mm. Examples include OPUS 16X42X2200 and OPUS 16X58X5500.
How to choose the right width and thickness of an MDF architrave for an internal door?
Pick the width based on the visible frame you want: 42 mm for a slim look, 58–80 mm for a more pronounced moulding. Thicknesses of 10–16 mm suit most architraves in the range; ensure the profile aligns flush with your door frame.
What colours and textures of MDF architraves are available in the catalogue?
The range includes plain white options and wood-effect finishes such as Alaska Tamm, Tamm Gessato and Oak Marone. These mimic wood grain and match doors with similar tones.
Can MDF architraves be cut to length and how should I do it?
Yes, MDF architraves can be cut with a fine-toothed handsaw or power saw; sand the cut edge and seal or paint the end if needed. Use a fine-toothed blade for a clean finish.
Are MDF architraves suitable for high-humidity rooms?
Standard MDF is moisture-sensitive and generally not recommended for continuously humid rooms. For bathrooms or saunas choose water-resistant profiles or specially treated MDF variants if specified in the product details.
How do OPUS models differ from regular MDF architraves in this catalogue?
OPUS models (e.g. OPUS 16X42X2200) denote a specific branded profile with distinctive edge geometry and availability in long 5500 mm lengths. They share thicknesses and wood finishes with other items but differ in profile shape and some size options.
Will these MDF architraves match oak or plywood doors in colour and texture?
There are oak-effect finishes in the range (Oak MARONE, TAMM GESSATO, ALASKA TAMM) that visually match oak doors. For best results compare a sample with your door under natural light as exact match depends on the door tone and grain.
How are MDF architraves fixed to the door frame — what installation methods are suitable?
Architraves are typically fixed with finishing nails or construction adhesive; clamps help achieve a tight fit during installation. For veneered or laminated surfaces avoid heavy nailing and use adhesive if needed.
Can 5500 mm architraves be used for standard door heights?
Yes — 5500 mm lengths can be cut down to standard door heights and also offer enough material to cover taller openings without seams. Plan your cuts in advance to align any pattern or grooves.
