What Is the Lambs Tongue Architrave Profile?
The Lambs Tongue architrave is a classic traditional profile featuring a distinctive elongated concave curve that tapers to a flat base — resembling, as the name suggests, the shape of a lamb's tongue. This elegant, flowing detail has been used in British interiors for centuries and remains a firm favourite in period and heritage properties.
Where to Use Lambs Tongue MDF Architraves
Lambs Tongue architraves are ideally suited to Victorian, Edwardian, and Georgian properties where period-accurate detailing is important. They work beautifully around interior door frames, window openings, and loft hatches, adding a refined, traditional character that complements original architectural features.
Why Choose MDF for Architraves?
Our Lambs Tongue architraves are manufactured from moisture-resistant MDF — a stable, consistent material that won't warp, split, or shrink like solid timber. MDF takes paint exceptionally well, giving you a smooth, professional finish every time. It's the preferred choice for professional joiners and decorators across the UK.
Primed or Unprimed?
We offer Lambs Tongue MDF architraves in two finishes:
- Primed — ready to paint straight from the box, saving you time on site
- Unprimed — ideal if you prefer to apply your own primer or specialist coating
