What Is Architrave?

This is a product that can be made of distinct items such as wood, vinyl, plastic, and many more. Regardless of what it is made of, this product is used to encase the exposed parts of doors, windows, and similar parts of a building interior that is close to the wall.

Because of the areas that these castings are placed over, they are rectangular in shape. However, there is a difference between architrave and items such as door surrounds, door casings, door frames, skirting boards, and the likes.

What Is Skirting Board?

Skirting board is also known as a baseboard, it serves similar functions with architrave but differs in the area it is positioned. While architrave is located around the doorframe, windows… the skirting board is installed at the base of the wall.

Also, the skirting board or baseboard should not be mistaken for items such as wainscot. For one, the latter is more pronounced in height, acting as more than a coverage and protection for areas between the wall and the floor.

Why Should You Use Skirting Boards and Architraves?

In plain terms, these items do not only serve the functional purposes of protecting the walls, doorframe, floors. They also add a touch of elegance to the areas they are installed.

Of course, this is when it is painted appropriately, and the right product is used. More information on why you should use skirting boards and architrave here.

Talking about using the right product to get the right result, the next segment of this article aims to help you achieve this.

Getting the Right Architrave and Skirting Board Product for Your Project

Before purchasing any of these products from a dealer or manufacturer, here are some of the things you are to look out for:

Durability

Of a truth, one of the first things you notice about these products is that they add a sense of beauty. However, a good one should not be high on style and low on functionality.

On this note, the material used to make the product should be durable. A superior product, especially skirting boards, should be able to withstand moisture properly. If not, you will have to replace the product earlier than you think.

Also, the product should be strong enough to withstand the roughhousing and play that goes on between children and pets or children alone.

Aesthetic Appeal

At various points in this article, we have touched upon this quality. However, because of the importance of this feature, it cannot be over-emphasized.

On this note, a good architrave and baseboard product should be stylish. When you finally decide to make your purchase, you should deal with manufacturers that have a lot of styles you can choose from.

If you need a number, you should not settle for a company that has less than 40 styles in their catalogue. Just so you know, there are manufacturers that have well over 50 styles. You can visit the Metres Direct website if you are interested in checking out one of them.

Guaranty on Refund

A good baseboard and/or architrave manufacturer should be able to guarantee the quality of its products. So, it should not be hard for them to promise a money-back guarantee if the items purchased are lacking in the promised quality.

By dealing with such a company, you can be certain that you are financially protected if you are not satisfied with your purchase.

Professional Advice

A good manufacturer will be willing to go the extra mile for their clients. As a result, the company should have an easy-to-reach team that can suggest several styles and installation practices for your project.

Believe it or not, this is not too much to ask for.

Conclusion

The state of the interior décor in your home gives people an impression of you. So, whether you are an interior decorator or homeowner who wants his/her place looking the best it can be, you should pay close attention to installing the right architrave and skirting boards.

In light of this, we have shared a few but important tips to consider before purchasing any of these items for your project. We hope that you take the tips seriously and see how it helps out.
