Why Architrave Moulding Matters in Heritage Homes
Architrave mouldings frame your doors and windows, adding a finishing touch that enhances architectural style. In heritage properties, architraves help:
Maintain the historical integrity of interiors
Highlight woodwork craftsmanship typical of the period
Provide a seamless transition between wall surfaces and frames
Hide minor imperfections or gaps from original construction
Using modern or generic mouldings risks losing the character of your home. Instead, select timber architraves designed with classic profiles that match or complement original detailing.

When selecting your mouldings, keep these factors in mind:
Match existing profiles
Measure existing architraves to find a DB Wood profile that closely matches the original. This preserves harmony throughout the home.
Consider timber type
We provide both softwood and hardwood options. Softwoods are easier to work with and paint; hardwoods offer superior grain and longevity.
Finish options
Some homeowners prefer paint-grade profiles for a crisp white finish, while others opt for natural wood stains to showcase timber beauty.
Size & scale
Heritage architraves tend to be larger and more pronounced than modern trims. Choose widths and thicknesses that reflect the era.
