PRODUCT INFORMATION

What material are the stucco profiles made of?

The profiles are made of high-quality materials that enable robust handling and easy processing. Depending on the product type, the material and properties of the products vary. Precise information can be found in the data sheets on the respective product pages.

Can I also use the products in the outside area?

All products from the LUXXUS and AXXENT collection from Orac Decor as well as the DOMOSTYL products from NMC are suitable for outdoor installation. Please note that you can use the special DecoFix Power adhesive from Orac Decor or the DOMOSTYL HYBRID adhesive from NMC for installation. The stucco moldings must then be painted over with a facade paint to ensure weather resistance.

How long can I use the glue?

The adhesive is stable for 12 months from the date of manufacture. You can find the exact expiry date on the label.

Are the stucco moldings classified as fire protection?

The standard Orac Decor® products have fire protection class E. This means that the product can burn, continue to burn and does not stop burning automatically. The fire classification according to DIN 4102 is normally not necessary for the installation of the NMC decorative profiles, because the small quantities do not additionally fuel a fire. The moldings withstand a heat of up to 70 ° C, then they begin to melt.

What heat resistance do the products have?

The maximum heat resistance is 70 ° C.

What is PS foam?

PS foam, also known as polystyrene foam, is a synthetic plastic made from styrene monomers. It is a lightweight and affordable material that is ideal for the production of ceiling mouldings and is available in our online shop. In dry and air-conditioned rooms such as living or bedrooms, PS foam can be used to create a decorative and stylish atmosphere.

What is PU foam?

PU foam, also known as polyurethane rigid foam, is a plastic material that is manufactured by combining an isocyanate and a polyol. It is a highly durable material that is well-suited for use in humid rooms.

What is HDPS? 

HDPS (High Density Polystyrene), is a specific type of polystyrene rigid foam that is commonly used in the construction industry. HDPS is highly resistant to moisture due to its low water absorption, making it ideal for use in humid environments such as bathrooms or kitchens. However, due to its high strength and density, it is particularly well-suited for the construction of decorative elements such as cornices that require high stability.

Whats the difference between PS foam, PU foam and HDPS?

PS foam, PU foam, and HDPS are all types of foam materials with different properties and applications. PS foam is a lightweight and cheap material commonly used in dry and climate-controlled areas like living rooms and bedrooms to create a decorative and stylish atmosphere. PU foam is more elastic and durable than PS foam, making it particularly attractive for use in manufacturing decorative elements such as moldings and other ornamental features. HDPS, on the other hand, has a higher density and strength than traditional PS foam, making it a durable and resilient material. Additionally, HDPS is less elastic and less resistant to mechanical stress compared to PU foam.

What is Duropolymer?

Duropolymer is a high-quality, moldable material that is excellent for the production of decorative moldings, rosettes, and other architectural elements. It is composed of a mixture of polyurethane resin and mineral fillers and is very durable due to its high density and strength. The surface of Duropolymer is smooth and even, making it an ideal choice for decorative elements in interior spaces. It is also water-resistant and easy to clean, making it a good choice for moist areas such as bathrooms. In our online shop, we offer a wide selection of molding and other elements made from Duropolymer.

What are Multibars?

Multibars are versatile decorative moldings that provide a flexible and versatile solution for room decoration. Unlike traditional mouldings, which are usually only installed on walls, multibars can also be used in other places such as panel mouldings, skirting mouldings, or cornice moldings. This makes them an extremely practical and functional option for designing interior spaces. In our shop, you will find a wide selection of high-quality multibars in different styles and designs to meet your individual needs.

Are stucco mouldings waterproof?

In general, there are water-resistant or water-repellent options for skirting mouldings made from different materials. For example, PU foam stucco mouldings are typically water-resistant and can be used in damp areas such as bathrooms or kitchens. However, HDPS mouldings have lower water resistance. It's important to note that water resistance can also depend on the coating or finish of the stucco moldings. It's generally recommended to protect stucco moldings from direct contact with water. Proper sealing should be ensured during installation in damp areas to prevent water penetration. To ensure that the stucco moldings have the desired properties for the intended use, it's recommended to consult with our experts or customer service before making a purchase.

For which rooms are which stucco mouldings suitable?

Stucco mouldings can be used in various rooms, with the choice of moulding depending on personal taste. In wet rooms such as bathrooms or kitchens, water-resistant mouldings like PU foam mouldings should be used. For living rooms and bedrooms, all types of stucco mouldings are generally suitable. Here, both simple, plain models and more elaborate, decorative mouldings can be used to create accents and enhance the room's atmosphere. In hallways and staircases, simple yet elegant stucco mouldings can be used to visually enhance the room and give it a special touch. In rooms with high ceilings, larger and more mouldings can be used to emphasize the room's volume. However, it is always important to consider the dimensions and proportions of the room when choosing stucco mouldings to create a harmonious overall picture. If you have any questions about choosing the right stucco mouldings, please feel free to contact our customer service.


INSTALLATION

How do I assemble the stucco profiles?

The products are easy to assemble with the appropriate adhesive. The corners can be cut individually with a saw and a mitre. The strips can then be painted with a varnish or emulsion paint. On the respective product pages you will find detailed assembly instructions with a step-by-step explanation. We are happy to help you with any questions.

Can I paint over the moldings?

All strips are pre-primed at the factory and can be painted with a varnish or emulsion paint after assembly..

How can I process the abutting edges of the strips?

The DecoFix Extra seam adhesive from Orac Decor or the Adefix Plus from NMC are suitable for connecting the butt edges. After the glue has been applied to the ends, they must be pressed against each other. The adhesive that oozes out must be removed immediately with a spatula. After 20 minutes, the remaining adhesive is removed again with a spatula and the joint is lightly sanded. You can then fill the joint with a joint filler. BASIXX strips from Orac Decor can easily be glued to the FDP500.

How can you remove adhesive residue?

Orac Decor FDP500: immediately with water
Orac Decor FDP700: immediately with a soap solution or a cleaning cloth
Orac Decor FX200: after 20 minutes with a spatula and acetone, thinner or a cleaning cloth
NMC Adefix: immediately with water
NMC Adefix Plus: immediately with turpentine substitute
NMC Domostyl Hybrid: immediately the turpentine substitute or mechanically after drying

Can the products also be applied to areas that have already been painted?

The stucco moldings can also be installed on surfaces that have already been painted. Please note that these must be dry, clean and free of grease.

Can I also install the moldings on a wallpaper?

We recommend that you remove the wallpaper at the appropriate places before attaching the decorative elements. If this is not possible, we recommend that you use the DecoFix Power when installing Orac Decor profiles. NMC profiles can also be applied to wallpapered surfaces. However, it is important that the surfaces are stable, clean, dry, dust-free, fat-free and smooth.

How can I install a flexible bar?

In advance, the abutting edges of the flexible strips are glued with seam adhesive. Then the strips can be brought to the wall with the DecoFix Pro from Orac or Adefix from NMC. Detailed information on the assembly and the flexibility of the individual products can be found in the data sheets of the respective strips.

What does miter cutting mean?

1. When installing stucco mouldings at the corner of a room, you often need to cut them at an angle to ensure a seamless fit. In this article, you'll learn how to cut stucco mouldings at an angle, and what tools you'll need.

2. Measure the length of the stucco moulding and mark the spot where you need to cut it at an angle.

3. Use a mitre saw to cut the stucco moulding at a 45-degree angle. A mitre box can be helpful for making accurate cuts. Make sure the saw blade is set correctly to ensure a perfect fit.

4. Hold the stucco moulding at the corner of the room to check if the fit is correct. If necessary, recut at an angle until the fit is perfect.

5. Use the appropriate adhesive to attach the stucco moulding to the wall. Make sure to spread the adhesive evenly to ensure a strong bond.

6. Repeat this process for all corners of the room where you want to install stucco mouldings.

 

In conclusion, cutting stucco mouldings at an angle can be challenging, but it requires only a few tools and some practice. With this guide, you should be able to install stucco mouldings seamlessly and professionally.

What type of glue should I use for stucco mouldings?

Please note that there are specific glues for each type of moulding to ensure optimal adhesion. For example, Adefix is the appropriate adhesive for NMC mouldings and FDP500 for Orac Decor mouldings. For moist rooms such as bathrooms or outdoor areas, we recommend using Adefix Plus or FDP700 as these glues are specifically designed for humid conditions and provide better adhesion. Use the corresponding adhesive for the stucco moulding you have selected to achieve optimal results.

Can I install crown molding myself or do I need a professional craftsman?

Installing stucco mouldings or PU foam can usually be done by anyone with some craftsman skills. However, it is important to work carefully and precisely to achieve optimal results. If you are unsure or do not feel confident in doing the installation yourself, you can always hire a professional craftsman from Ewering. Simply contact our customer service for assistance. 


INDIRECT LIGHTING

Are there suitable lighting systems for the light strips?

Orac Decor® and NMC do not offer any lighting systems itself. However, we have lighting systems from Brillux TuneLight in our range that can be combined with the stucco moldings. You can find these under "Brillux TuneLight light strips".

Do I need aluminum brackets for the LED strips?

If the indirect lighting is to be directed towards the floor, aluminum brackets should be attached. We also recommend this for all Duropolymer® (CX articles) or rather NOMASTYL® products, as otherwise the light would shine through the material.

Which LED strips should I buy – 12 or 24 volts?

This can be chosen according to taste, but 24 volts usually create a more even light.

Can I also point the indirect lighting downwards?

Indirect lighting can also be reversed, so that it gets directed downwards. To do this, an aluminum bracket must be attached behind the bar in which the LED bars can be clipped on.

Up to what temperatures do the products withstand?

The maximum permissible temperature for the products in combination with the LED strips is 70 ° C.


Skirting Mouldings

Which skirting mouldings are suitable for high-traffic areas?

For high-traffic areas and heavy usage, stucco mouldings made of durable and water-resistant materials such as HDPS are best suited. These materials are robust, easy to maintain, and cannot be damaged even by daily wear and tear. In our online shop, we offer a wide range of high-quality baseboards that are specifically designed for use in heavily frequented spaces such as hallways, offices, or stores.

Can I use skirting mouldings in wet rooms like bathrooms?

Yes, we offer a selection of water-resistant skirting mouldings in our online shop that are suitable for wet areas such as bathrooms. Suitable materials for such skirting mouldings include HDPS, PU foam, and Duropolymer. These materials are sturdy and durable and can be used even in high humidity and moisture environments. However, we recommend having a professional install skirting mouldings in bathrooms to ensure they are properly installed and provide optimal protection. Please feel free to contact our customer service for assistance.

How do I install skirting mouldings around doors and windows?

Installing skirting mouldings around doors and windows requires a bit more attention and care than on straight walls. Start by cutting the skirting mouding to the desired length and checking if it fits perfectly. If necessary, use a mitre saw to cut the corners at a 45-degree angle for a seamless fit. Then, use an glue suitable for the chosen material to attach the skirting moulding to the wall. To install the skirting moulding around a door or window, cut the skirting mouding on both sides of the opening angle and then join them together to achieve a perfect fit. Again, use an appropriate glue to hold the glue in place. Note that installing skirting mouldings around doors and windows may require some skill, but with patience and care, it should be easily achievable.

Can skirting mouldings also be attached to round walls or round objects?

Yes, we also offer flexible skirting mouldings from Orac Decor and NMC in our online shop. The flexible skirting mouldings made of PU material that we offer from Orac Decor are ideal for installation on round walls and objects. Thanks to their flexibility, they can be easily adapted to uneven surfaces, which can be difficult with traditional rigid skirting mouldings. The flexible skirting mouldings made of HDPS material that we offer from NMC can also be used for uneven walls. Both materials provide an excellent alternative to traditional skirting mouldings and enable easier installation, especially in difficult areas. In our online shop Stuckleistenprofi.de, we offer a wide selection of flexible skirting mouldings made of PU material from Orac Decor, available in various sizes and designs.
