Frequently asked questions about the Veneer door architraves category
What are Veneer door architraves and what materials are used?
Veneer door architraves are decorative trim strips with a wood core covered by natural oak (tamm) veneer, used to finish door openings. Range includes profiles 12–15 mm thick, 42–58 mm wide and 2200 mm long, available with lacquer finishes PO4 or PO6 for protection and appearance.
What lengths and dimensions do the architraves come in?
Architraves are 2200 mm long. Available dimensions include 12x42x2200 mm, 12x58x2200 mm, 15x42x2200 mm, 15x45x2200 mm and 15x58x2200 mm (thickness x width x length).
What's the difference between 15x58x2200mm PO6 and 15x42x2200mm PO4 architraves?
15x58x2200 mm is wider (58 mm) and 15 mm thick so it covers larger gaps and suits wider frames; PO6 lacquer is typically heavier than PO4, giving stronger surface protection and more sheen.
Will these architraves fit a metal door frame?
Yes, veneered architraves can be fitted to metal frames provided the surface is even and you use suitable adhesive or screws; if needed, level with a timber or MDF backing before fixing.
How to prepare a veneer architrave for painting or staining?
Clean the surface, lightly sand with 240–320 grit, apply a veneer-specific primer, then use a water-based or polyurethane paint/stain compatible with existing PO4/PO6 lacquer finishes.
Can these architraves be mitered in a corner without extra trims and how to cut the angle?
Yes, 42–58 mm wide architraves can be mitered at 45° using a mitre saw or mitre box. Cut precise angles and glue the joint tightly; fill any small gap with wood filler if needed.
Are veneer architraves suitable for wet rooms like bathrooms?
Veneered architraves are not ideal for constantly wet environments. They can be used in bathrooms only if ends and joints are thoroughly sealed, a stronger PO6 lacquer is applied, and adequate ventilation is ensured.
What tools and fixings are needed to fit a veneered architrave?
You will need a mitre box or mitre saw, screwdriver or drill, wood adhesive or 30–40 mm screws, and sealant for end protection. Finish with small finishing nails (1.2–1.6 mm) or construction adhesive for a neat result.
Which profile is best to conceal large gaps between frame and wall?
Choose the wider 58 mm profile at 15 mm thickness — it covers larger gaps and gives a more substantial look. For very uneven openings use backer strips or additional jamb linings.
How does a veneered architrave differ from a solid oak architrave?
A veneered architrave has a timber or MDF core with a natural oak veneer, saving solid wood and offering dimensional stability. Solid oak is entirely oak, often more repairable and premium-feeling but can react more to humidity and be pricier.
