Product Information

Full details

The Orac Decor SX105 skirting moulding is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking a modern, durable, and easy-to-install skirting solution. Its key benefit is its waterproof Duropolymer construction and integrated cable management, offering both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the SX105 skirting board suitable for bathrooms?

Yes, the SX105 is made from Duropolymer, which is waterproof and ideal for high-moisture environments like bathrooms, shower rooms, and utility rooms.

Can I hide TV cables in this skirting board?

Yes, the SX105 is designed with a void specifically for hiding electrical cables, making it an excellent cable tidy solution for entertainment areas.

Do I need to prime the SX105 before painting?

The product comes primed and ready for finishing. However, applying an additional coat of primer can sometimes enhance paint adhesion and provide a more uniform finish.

What type of adhesive should I use?

Orac Decor recommends using their proprietary adhesives, Decofix Pro or Decofix Extra, for optimal results and durability. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.

What are the dimensions of the SX105 skirting?

The SX105 measures 200cm in length, 10.8cm in height, and 1.3cm in width (depth).

Can I use the SX105 on curved walls?

For curved walls, you would need to use the flexible variant, SX105F. The rigid SX105 is intended for straight walls, but can be used in conjunction with the flexible version.

Can I fit LED strip lights into the skirting?

Yes, the void within the SX105 is suitable for fitting skirting board lights, which can create ambient lighting effects.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not holding the skirting in place

Ensure the wall is properly prepared (clean, dry, dust-free). Use the recommended Decofix adhesive and ensure sufficient quantity is applied. Use temporary fixings or tape to hold the moulding until the adhesive cures completely.

Uneven paint finish

Ensure the moulding is clean and free from dust before painting. Apply thin, even coats of paint. If using spray paint, ensure even coverage. A primer may improve adhesion and finish.

Difficulty cutting precise angles

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw or a powered mitre saw. A mitre box can also be used for manual cutting. Practice on scrap pieces first.

Visible cables after installation

Ensure cables are correctly routed within the designated void in the skirting. Do not overfill the void, which could prevent the moulding from seating correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust before installation.
  2. Measure and cut the SX105 moulding to the required lengths using a fine-toothed saw or a mitre saw for precise angles.
  3. Apply a suitable strong, fast-drying adhesive (e.g., Decofix Pro or Decofix Extra) to the back of the moulding according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
  4. Press the moulding firmly into place against the wall and floor.
  5. Use additional fixings or tape to hold the moulding in place while the adhesive cures.
  6. Once the adhesive is fully set, you can apply your chosen top coat of paint (matt or gloss).

Compatibility:

  • The SX105 is compatible with most standard wall and floor finishes.
  • It can be used in conjunction with the flexible SX105F variant for curved surfaces.
  • Ensure adequate clearance if planning to install integrated lighting.

Care:

  • Clean the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • The Duropolymer material is resistant to most household chemicals, but prolonged exposure should be avoided.
  • Repaint as needed to maintain the finish.
