Where has all the 71mm ogee architrave gone?!

[jeremydiy]

I've recently knocked a new doorway through a wall, and am looking for 71mm ogee architrave to match the stuff I put up 7 or 8 years ago on the other doorframes - looks like architrave fashion has moved on, all I can find anywhere is smaller stuff! I think the other architrave came from Homebase. The outside part of the ogee pattern is quite wide on what I already have, any ideas? I don't mind if it's MDF or pine.

Cheers,


Jeremy

B&Q do 69mm primed or satin prefinished MDF (would 2mm difference be noticeable?) but not sure how wide the plain part would be - their images seem more like wider skirting than architrave.

A quick search for 71mm ogee shows lots of suppliers but the plain section does seem to be quite narrow, as you suggest.

Travis Perkins do 75mm ogee. I know it's not what you asked but it might be worth a look to see how close the match is.

i would expect they may all be the same as in ex 3"stock so 69mm after molding
with 2mm off paint
and travis quoting the exstock size

D'oh. You're right of course. I've used a lot of their 7 inch (or whatever in metric) skirting in my house, and it's only 6 1/2 inches high...

Thanks - can't find the 75mm on the TP website but they do have a 69mm one, that looks close enough! Thanks.
