FAQs

What material is the Orac Decor SX172F Skirting Moulding made from?

It is made from Purotouch®, a high-density, lightweight, and resilient man-made polyurethane foam.

Can this moulding be used in a bathroom or kitchen?

Yes, the Purotouch® material is water-resistant, making it suitable for damp environments like bathrooms and kitchens when installed with the appropriate DecoFix Power adhesive.

How long is each piece of skirting moulding?

Each piece is 200 cm (2 meters) long.

Do I need to prime the moulding before painting?

The moulding comes pre-primed, but applying an additional coat of high-quality primer is recommended for the best paint adhesion and finish.

Can I install this moulding on a curved wall?

Yes, the SX172F has a minimum bending radius of 35 cm, allowing it to be installed on gently curved walls.

What adhesives should I use?

For interiors, use Orac DecoFix Pro (FDP500). For exteriors and damp environments, use Orac DecoFix Power (FDP700). Use Orac DecoFix Ultra (FX400) for hems and mitre joints.

How do I clean the moulding?

Wipe the moulding with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Troubleshooting

Moulding not adhering to the wall

Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and free of dust). Use the correct Orac Decor adhesive (e.g., DecoFix Pro or Power) and apply it generously to the back of the moulding. Check that the adhesive has been allowed to cure properly.

Moulding appears uneven on a slightly curved wall

Verify that the wall's curvature does not exceed the minimum bending radius (35 cm). Ensure consistent pressure is applied along the length of the moulding during installation to help it conform to gentle curves.

Paint finish is uneven or streaky

Ensure the moulding was properly primed before painting. Apply paint in thin, even coats. Allow adequate drying time between coats. Use a high-quality paint suitable for mouldings.

Visible gaps at corners or joints

Use Orac DecoFix Ultra for precise mitre joints. Ensure cuts are made accurately using a fine-tooth saw and a mitre box. Fill small gaps with a suitable filler designed for polyurethane mouldings before painting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly versatile due to its flexibility, suitable for curved walls.
  • Impact and water-resistant for enhanced durability.
  • Pre-primed finish simplifies painting and customization.
  • Lightweight material makes installation easier.
  • Timeless design integrates well with various decor styles.

Cons

  • Requires specific Orac Decor adhesives for proper installation and durability.
  • Minimum bending radius might limit extreme curvature applications.
  • Primed surface still requires a top coat of paint, adding a step to the finishing process.
  • May be more expensive than traditional wood or plastic skirting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation:

  1. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease.
  2. Apply the recommended Orac Decor adhesive (DecoFix Pro for interiors, DecoFix Power for damp areas) to the back of the moulding using a glue gun or applicator.
  3. Firmly press the moulding into place against the wall.
  4. Use DecoFix Ultra for mitre joints and hems for a clean finish.
  5. Allow the adhesive to cure fully according to the manufacturer's instructions before painting.

Painting:

Once the adhesive is dry, apply a high-quality primer followed by your chosen paint (acrylic or water-based paints are recommended). Two coats are typically sufficient for a uniform finish.

Compatibility:

This moulding is designed to be combined with other Orac Decor profiles in the same style for a cohesive room design. Recommended complementary profiles include D340, CX176, CX177, SX173, SX156, PX175, DX174-2300, SX165, SX118, and SX186.

Care:

Clean the surface with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish.
