What is Architrave Moulding?

Architrave moulding is a decorative trim or moulding used to highlight the area around doors, windows, or other openings, and is specific to the lintel or beam area. Architrave trim is used to cover the joint between the wall and the frame, serving a dual aesthetic and functional purpose.

Common Uses of Architrave Trim

Architrave moulding or architrave trim serves both decorative and practical functions, helping to conceal imperfections while enhancing the visual appeal of the space. This type of trim moulding is used to emphasize the architectural style of a space, accentuating its design and bringing attention to features like fireplace mantels, bookcases, or cabinetry.

While primarily decorative, architrave can also contribute to the structural stability of the door or window frames by helping hold everything in place, especially in older buildings or homes with shifting foundations. The additional trim protects the frame from wear and tears around the edges where damage is most likely to occur due to repeated use.

Highlight Entryways and Improve the Look of Your Doors

Architrave moulding is a versatile design element that elegantly frames entryways, highlighting architectural features in both traditional and period-inspired spaces. Often used to enhance large openings and doors, it creates a polished effect while seamlessly transitioning between rooms. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, architrave moulding also conceals minor imperfections, making it a practical choice for achieving a refined, finished look.

Make Your Windows Stand Out

High-quality architrave trim can set your windows apart, serving as an effective way to highlight or bring attention to a specific view. Architrave can be chosen to complement the existing design style of a room, in order to deliver a cohesive look that ties in with the rest of the architectural features.
