FAQs

What material is the Orac Decor K1102 made from?

The K1102 shaft is made from Purotouch, a high-density polyurethane material developed by Orac Decor.

Can this column shaft be used for structural support?

No, the K1102 is a decorative architectural element and is not designed to bear structural loads. Always consult a professional for structural requirements.

What are the exact dimensions of the K1102 shaft?

The shaft measures 202 cm in length, with a height and width of 22 cm.

Is this column shaft suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the K1102 is designed for both exterior and interior use when installed with appropriate adhesives (like DecoFix Extra) and finishes.

How do I clean and maintain the column shaft?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure any exterior paint finishes are suitable for outdoor conditions.

What other Orac Decor products are compatible with this shaft?

The K1102 shaft is designed to work with Orac Decor column models KD1, KD2, KI1, KI2, KC1, and KC2. It is intended to be combined with compatible bases and capitals from the same system.

Does the shaft come painted?

No, the shaft comes pre-primed and ready for you to apply your desired paint color.

Troubleshooting

Column shaft does not adhere properly

Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use the correct type of Orac Decor adhesive for the application (interior/exterior) and ensure adequate amount is applied. Check adhesive cure times and environmental conditions during installation.

Cutting the shaft results in a rough edge

Use a fine-toothed saw designed for cutting rigid polymers. Support the shaft adequately during cutting to prevent chipping. Sand the cut edge smooth with fine-grit sandpaper.

Paint finish is uneven or peeling

Ensure the surface was properly primed before painting. Use a high-quality paint suitable for polymers. Avoid applying paint in excessively humid conditions. For exterior use, ensure the paint is rated for outdoor exposure.

Shaft appears bowed or warped

This is uncommon with Purotouch. Ensure the column was stored flat before installation. Check that the adhesive has cured evenly and that the shaft is not under undue stress from adjacent components.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to install for DIYers.
  • Lightweight material simplifies handling and mounting.
  • Pre-primed surface speeds up the finishing process.
  • Modern, slim design suits contemporary aesthetics.
  • Durable Purotouch material resists moisture and impact better than plaster.
  • Versatile for various interior and exterior decorative projects.

Cons

  • Requires compatibility check with specific Orac column bases and capitals.
  • Purotouch material may be less forgiving of rough handling than solid stone.
  • Primarily designed as a component, may not serve as a structural support on its own.
  • May require specific adhesives or fasteners for secure installation depending on the application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the surface where the column will be installed is clean, dry, and sound. For interior use, standard decorating preparation applies. For exterior use, ensure surfaces are suitable for adhesive bonding.
  2. Measurement & Cutting: If the column needs to be shortened, use a fine-toothed saw for clean cuts. Sand edges smooth.
  3. Adhesive Application: Apply a suitable high-strength construction adhesive (e.g., Orac Decor's DecoFix Pro or DecoFix Extra for exterior use) to the back of the shaft or the mounting surface.
  4. Positioning: Firmly press the shaft into its desired position. Ensure it is plumb and level.
  5. Securing: For added security, especially for taller installations or load-bearing applications (consult professional advice for structural use), mechanical fixings like screws may be necessary. Use appropriate hardware for the substrate.
  6. Finishing: Allow adhesive to cure fully. Fill any gaps with a flexible filler. Apply a coat of primer if necessary, followed by your chosen paint finish.

Compatibility:

  • This K1102 shaft is designed to be combined with specific Orac Decor column components. It is compatible with Orac column models KD1, KD2, KI1, KI2, KC1, and KC2. Always verify compatibility with the corresponding bases and capitals before purchase.

Care:

  • Clean the column with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish.
  • For exterior use, ensure the paint finish is appropriate for outdoor conditions and reapply as needed to maintain appearance and protection.
