FAQs
What material is the Orac Decor PX113 made from?
The Orac Decor PX113 is made from Duropolymer, a high-density polymer material known for its durability and resistance to impact and moisture.
Does the moulding come pre-painted?

What are the dimensions of the PX113 moulding?
The PX113 moulding measures 6 cm in height and 2.7 cm in width. Each piece is 200 cm long.
Can this moulding be used in bathrooms or kitchens?
Yes, Duropolymer is water-resistant, making it suitable for use in areas prone to humidity like bathrooms and kitchens, provided it is properly sealed and painted.
How do I clean the moulding?
Clean the moulding with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
What type of adhesive should I use?
It is recommended to use a high-grab adhesive specifically designed for mouldings, such as Orac's Decofix range or a suitable solvent-free adhesive.
Can I cut the moulding myself?
Yes, the moulding can be cut using a fine-tooth saw and a mitre box for precise angled cuts. Ensure you have a stable cutting surface.
Troubleshooting
Moulding not sticking to the wall
Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and free of dust/grease). Use an adequate amount of appropriate moulding adhesive and check the adhesive's curing time. Consider using temporary fixings to maintain pressure.
Gaps appearing at corners or joints
Ensure cuts are precise using a sharp saw and mitre box. Use a flexible filler or caulk to fill small gaps after installation and allow it to dry completely before sanding smooth.
Painted finish is uneven or peeling
Ensure the moulding was properly primed before painting. Use a good quality primer and paint, and allow each coat to dry thoroughly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid applying paint in overly thick layers.
Moulding is difficult to cut accurately
Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw and a precise mitre box. Ensure the moulding is securely held while cutting. Consider practicing cuts on scrap pieces first.
