Product Information

Full details

The Orac Decor Luxxus SX118 skirting board is an ideal choice for both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts looking to elevate their interior aesthetic with a classic, tall ogee profile. Measuring 140mm in height, this high-quality duropolymer moulding offers a versatile look suitable for both period-style renovations and contemporary spaces, while providing the added convenience of a hidden channel for cable management. The primary caveat is that while the product arrives pre-primed, it requires a topcoat of paint to achieve a finished, professional appearance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this in a bathroom?

Yes, the duropolymer material is moisture-resistant and will not rot or warp in humid environments.

Do I need special tools to cut it?

No, you can use standard woodworking hand tools or a powered mitre saw with a fine-tooth blade.

Is the skirting board flexible?

The standard SX118 is rigid. It is designed for straight walls; curved sections would require a specialized flexible profile.

What kind of paint should I use?

Any high-quality water-based decorative paint, such as gloss, satin, or matt, is suitable once the pre-primed surface is lightly sanded.

Can I hide thick cables behind it?

The profile features a cavity specifically designed for cables, though it is best suited for standard-gauge electrical or data cabling.

Troubleshooting

Joints are visible after installation

Ensure you are using Orac-recommended joint adhesive and apply enough to allow for slight squeeze-out, then sand smooth once cured.

Moulding feels loose against the wall

Verify that the wall surface was level and dust-free during installation. Use a stronger grab adhesive or temporary mechanical fixings while the glue sets.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to moisture and impacts thanks to duropolymer material
  • Easy to cut and install using standard woodworking tools
  • Hidden channel effectively hides cables and wiring
  • Tall profile provides a premium architectural finish
  • Pre-primed surface reduces total finishing time

Cons

  • Requires a final paint application to match room decor
  • Must use specific Orac joint adhesives for seamless results
  • Heavier than standard lightweight foam moldings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the SX118 is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic carpentry. Use a standard fine-toothed saw to cut your mitres and ends. Always use high-quality, solvent-free adhesive designed for duropolymer products to ensure joints remain invisible over time.

Ensure walls are clean, dry, and level before application. Once fixed in place, use an appropriate filler to smooth any minor gaps at the joints. Finally, finish with any standard water-based gloss, satin, or matt paint. For cleaning, simply wipe with a damp cloth; the moisture-resistant material makes it safe for use in humid areas like bathrooms or entryways.
