Composition of Architraves

Architraves can be crafted from various materials, each bringing its unique properties to the aesthetic and functionality of a living space. The most common materials for architraves include:

  • Hardwood: Known for its durability and classic appeal, hardwood is often found in traditional and historic buildings.
  • Softwood: A popular choice for its workability and cost-effectiveness, softwood is frequently used in more contemporary constructions.
  • Medium-Density Fibreboard (MDF): MDF is another common choice, appreciated for its smooth finish and uniformity, making it ideal for painting.

While these materials are prevalent, architraves can also be fashioned from other substances such as plaster, PVC, rubber, ceramic tiles, and aluminium, although these are less common.

Builders tend to select architectural materials that match other mouldings and finishes within a home to maintain a cohesive look. Historic homes typically feature hardwood architraves, while modern homes may lean towards softwood or MDF.
