FAQ (Orac Profiles)


Why do decorators love this product? 

Some people are passionate about Orac Decor® products because they are of exceptional high quality with a fine finish and simple installation. It makes renovating an interior or finishing a project faster and a lot easier.

As the pioneer who introduced synthetics technology for the production of decorative finishes and elements, over the course of 40 years (and counting), Orac has successfully developed the unique combination of exceptionally high quality products that are architecturally stunning, of fine finish and installs simply. This makes renovating your interior or finishing your project faster and a lot easier.

In addition, all the products can be painted because they have already been pre-primed, and many are multi-functional. 

 

Can I use these profiles and elements outdoors? 

The only difference with indoor applications is the adhesive used to put the elements in place. After placement they should be painted with a quality outdoor paint and installed with our adhesive Decofix Hydro®. These elements can also add a luxurious finishing touch to humid areas such as bathrooms, swimming pools and saunas.

There is also a series of outdoor profiles available specifically for outdoor usage. Drop us a mail to enquire! 

 

What materials are these profiles made of? 

ORAC nv/sa is a pioneer in the use of innovative materials. Our high-technology products are of superior quality and easier to install than traditional materials such as plaster and wood.

The majority of the products from the LUXXUS collection are made of polyurethane (Purotouch). The ornaments from the AXXENT collection are made of Duropolymer, and the BASIXX collection uses Durofoam.  All the materials are supplied pre-primed and can be painted immediately.

I like modern home designs and am unsure if such profiles and elements suit?

A lot of our products were indeed inspired by Greek and Roman architecture. This artistic heritage inspires us not to re-create classical products but to innovate using the philosophy behind it; the use of mathematical proportions to create beautiful volumes on walls and ceilings.

The idea behind our product is to create profiles that relate to each other, to create depths, personality and balance in a space.

 

Who can install these profiles and trimmings?

The profiles are not difficult to install and can be effectively done by handy person or tradesmen who respects these steps at the preparation and installation stages.

  • The surface must be clean, dry and free of grease and should be as even as possible. We recommend sanding the surface in advance.
  • The ideal room temperature is between 10°C and 35°C. To ensure easy installation, keep the Orac Decor® elements and glues at room temperature 24 hours in advance.
  • Always use our special Decofix® glues for quality adhesion.

The rest is child's play.
