Orac Decor Adhesives & Tools: The Guarantee of a Perfect Installation
The success of your installation depends 100% on the choice of glue. At Orac Decor, glue is not just an adhesive, it is a technical resin which merges the elements with the wall. To benefit from the factory warranty and avoid cracks at the joints, it is imperative to use the winning trio: DecoFix Pro, Power, and Extra. Also, find cutting tools (saws, miter boxes) suitable for hard materials.
FDP500 vs FDP700: Which adhesive for the wall ?
Don't get the wrong tube:
- ? ? DecoFix Pro (FDP500): This is the standard glue. To be used for traditional, dry, and porous interior walls (plaster, brick). It can be smoothed with water.
- ? ? DecoFix Power (FDP700): This is the "All-Terrain" ultra-strong glue. To be used specifically for: outdoor projects, damp areas (bathrooms), tiling, glass, or heavy items. It can be smoothed out with soapy water.
Why is the FX200 adhesive (Joints) MANDATORY ?
"La" translates to "the" in English. DecoFix Extra (FX200/FX210) It is not an option. It is a chemical adhesive that "welds" the moldings together.
If you don't use it between two lengths, your joints will inevitably end up cracking over time due to temperature variations. Its use is the requirement. "Without which not" Orac warranty.
How much glue should I order ?
On average:
- Cartridge 310ml (FDP500/700): Allows for installing 7 to 8 meters of medium-sized cornices/baseboards.
- Tube joint 310ml (FX200): Allows for approximately 80 to 100 connections. For a small construction site, the small 80ml tube (FX210) is often sufficient.
What saw should be used to cut moldings ?
Orac products (Duropolymer/Purotouch) are dense. Do not use a traditional wood saw (teeth are too big). Use our saw instead. Specific saw (FB14) with fine teeth for a clean cut, combined with a miter box (FB13 or FB300) for perfect angles.
