FAQs
What is the primary material of the C217F coving?
The Orac Decor C217F coving is made from Purotouch®, a high-density polyurethane material known for its lightness, strength, and dimensional stability.
Can this coving be used in a bathroom or kitchen?
For standard interior use, Decofix Pro is recommended. For damp environments like bathrooms or kitchens, it is essential to use Decofix Power adhesive for optimal adhesion and longevity.
What are the dimensions of the C217F moulding?
The moulding measures 200 cm in length, 10.3 cm in height, and 15.6 cm in width.
Does the coving come pre-painted?
Yes, the profiles are supplied with a pre-painted white undercoat, ready for you to apply your desired topcoat of paint.
What is the minimum bending radius for this coving?
The minimum bending radius for the C217F coving is 380 cm, meaning it can accommodate gentle curves but is not suitable for sharp bends.
Can I install this myself?
Yes, the lightweight nature of Purotouch® and the availability of specific adhesives make it a DIY-friendly product. However, clean cuts and proper adhesive application are crucial for a professional finish.
Is it possible to paint over the primer coat?
Absolutely. The primer coat is designed to accept standard water-based or acrylic paints, allowing you to match the coving to your interior colour scheme.
Troubleshooting
Coving not adhering to the wall/ceiling
Ensure the correct Decofix adhesive was used and applied generously. Verify the surface was clean, dry, and properly prepared. Reapply adhesive and secure firmly.
Visible seams between pieces
Ensure precise, clean cuts were made. Apply Decofix Ultra adhesive to the joining edges for a strong, seamless bond. Sand lightly if necessary after curing and touch up paint.
Coving appears uneven or sagging
Check that sufficient adhesive was used along the entire length. Ensure the wall/ceiling surface is flat. Use temporary supports while the adhesive cures if necessary.
Paint finish is uneven
Ensure the pre-painted primer coat was fully dry. Apply thin, even coats of paint rather than one thick layer. Use a high-quality paint suitable for mouldings.
