MDF Architrave

Architrave FAQ

What are the benefits of MDF architrave over wood?

MDF architrave is more affordable, resistant to warping and cracking, and have a smooth surface that’s ideal for painting. Unlike natural wood, MDF does not expand or contract with humidity changes.

Can MDF architrave be painted?

Yes! MDF architrave is perfect for painting. Many come pre-primed, meaning you only need to apply a top coat in your desired color. Use a water-based or oil-based paint for a smooth, durable finish.

Is MDF architrave moisture-resistant?

Yes, all our MDF architrave is moisture-resistant (MR MDF), making them more durable in humid environments like kitchens and bathrooms. Unlike standard MDF, MR MDF has enhanced resistance to swelling and warping when exposed to moisture, ensuring long-lasting performance. However, we still recommend sealing and painting them properly for maximum protection.
