Frequently asked questions
We’ve gathered the most common questions to help you choose, install, and enjoy with confidence.
How do I prepare the surface?
Before proceeding with installation, it's crucial to prepare the surface properly. Begin by thoroughly washing and sanding the area. Make sure the surface is completely dry, free of dust and grease, and that your ceilings and walls are flat and even. Always ensure that any dirt and loose paint is thoroughly sanded off. Next, apply a primer to the wall. You can then proceed with the installation of our products. For specific adhesive recommendations and quantities, please consult our Glue Calculator.
What are the best installation conditions?
We recommend pre-conditioning the products in the area where they are going to be installed 24 hours in advance. The temperature should fall within the range of 5-35Ā°C (41-95Ā°F). Maintain a humidity level of at least 40%, but no more than 70%.
Can you also place Orac products on painted surfaces?
Yes, you can. However, it's crucial that the paint provides a clean, dry, and non-greasy surface with good adhesion. Always ensure that any dirt and loose paint is thoroughly sanded off. For non-porous surfaces, including non-washable paint, opt for DecoFix Power FDP700. For porous surfaces, use DecoFix Pro FDP500. To determine the surface type (porous or non-porous), conduct a water absorption check. Spray some water on the surface. If the water doesn't absorb and forms droplets, use DecoFix Power FDP700. Please always consult the glue calculator to determine which glues to use and the quantities needed.
Can Orac products be applied on wallpaper?
We recommend removing your wallpaper before installing Orac products. If removal is not feasible, you can cut and remove the relevant sections. In such cases, use DecoFix Power (FDP700) as the adhesive for affixing Orac products, as most wallpapers are not water absorbent.

Can I install products in a humid space?
Our Duropolymer products are water-resistant. For Purotouch products we don't recommend direct contact with water. However, placing our products in a bathroom (humid space, but no direct contact with water) should not a problem. In this case you need to install the products with our DecoFix Power (FDP700), which is the perfect glue for this purpose. Seal the panels very well, making sure no water can get behind them. For the top and bottom we recommend using our CX190 U-profile since it's 100% waterproof. If the connection between the 2 profiles is properly sealed, no water can get behind it. Finish the installation by applying a water-resistant paint. Follow the painting instructions of the paint supplier. We recommend prior testing.
