FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the CB522 coving?

The Orac Decor BASIXX CB522 coving has a height of 6.7cm and a width of 6.7cm. Each piece is 2 metres long.

How many metres of coving are in one box?

Each box contains 24 pieces of 2-metre lengths, totaling 48 linear meters of coving.

Can I use this coving in a small room?

While versatile, the CB522 is a larger profile. It is best suited for medium to large rooms. For smaller spaces, consider the CB520 or CB521 from the same range for a more proportionate look.

What adhesive should I use?

It is recommended to use a specific wall and coving adhesive suitable for the material of the coving and your wall type. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's guidelines.

Do I need to paint the coving?

Yes, the coving is typically supplied ready for painting. It is recommended to prime it first, then apply your chosen paint (preferably water-based) to match your interior decor.

Can the CB522 be combined with other Orac Decor profiles?

Yes, the CB522 is designed to be used in conjunction with the smaller CB520 and medium CB521 coving profiles from the Orac BASIXX series for a cohesive design across different areas.

How do I cut the coving for corners?

Precise cuts are essential for corners. Use a fine-toothed saw and a mitre box set to the appropriate angles (typically 45 degrees for internal and external corners) for a clean fit.

Troubleshooting

Coving not sticking to the wall/ceiling.

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use the correct type and amount of adhesive as recommended by the manufacturer. For very large profiles, additional mechanical fixings may be required initially.

Gaps appearing at joints or corners.

Ensure precise mitre cuts for corners. Use a flexible filler or decorator's caulk to fill small gaps after the adhesive has cured. For larger gaps, re-cutting the pieces may be necessary.

Coving sagging or pulling away.

Check that sufficient adhesive has been applied evenly. Ensure temporary support is used if the adhesive has a long drying time. Verify that the wall and ceiling surfaces are sound and not crumbling.

Painted finish is uneven or shows brush marks.

Ensure the coving is properly primed before painting. Use a good quality paint and apply thin, even coats. Consider using a roller for a smoother finish on larger flat areas of the profile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure and cut the coving pieces to the required lengths using a fine-toothed saw and a mitre box for precise angles, especially for internal and external corners.
  2. Apply a suitable wall and coving adhesive to the back of the profile according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
  3. Press the coving firmly into place against the wall and ceiling, holding it for a few moments until the adhesive begins to set.
  4. Use additional fixings (e.g., pins) if necessary for larger profiles or longer runs, ensuring they are countersunk.
  5. Fill any gaps or joints with a flexible filler or decorator's caulk once the adhesive has fully dried.
  6. Prime and paint the coving to match your desired interior scheme. Use a water-based paint for best results.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with other profiles in the Orac Basixx series (CB520, CB521) for a coordinated look.
  • Suitable for use in most standard interior residential and commercial spaces.

Care:

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
  • Dust regularly with a dry cloth or duster.
