heart

This is a bespoke product machined in-house from sawn Sapele.

Standard lengths are available to select above. If you require a different length that isn’t listed, please get in touch and we’ll advise on availability. As this is a natural timber product, specific lengths cannot be guaranteed. For information on lead times, please refer to the delivery and collection details below.

All of our solid timber architraves are supplied with a smooth machined finish, ready for applying the finishing product of your choice.

Please note that the machining process will reduce the overall size of your selected architrave by approximately 5mm from both the width and thickness.

Since timber is a natural product, each length will vary in grain pattern, colour and natural figuring, and may contain occasional small pin knots. There is also the possibility of minor imperfections such as split or splintered ends.

To allow for this natural variability, we recommend allowing approximately 300mm of additional length beyond the finished requirement. This provides sufficient allowance to trim any imperfect ends, ensuring you are left with the highest quality usable section for installation.
