FAQs

What tools do I need to install the CX123 moulding?

You'll need a measuring tape, saw (fine-tooth), adhesive (FDP500), jointing compound (FX210), a caulking gun, a level, sandpaper, a damp cloth and painting supplies.

Can I install this moulding myself?

Yes, the CX123 is designed for easy installation, often possible by a single person.

What type of paint should I use?

You can use most standard interior paints. It's recommended to use a primer suitable for Duropolymer first.

How do I cut the moulding?

Use a fine-tooth saw to cut the moulding to the required lengths. A miter saw can help ensure accurate angles for corners.

What is Duropolymer?

Duropolymer is a tough, hard, and lightweight material used by Orac Decor for its mouldings, offering durability and ease of installation.

Where can I use the CX123 moulding?

It is suitable for use in halls, bedrooms, studies, kitchens, dining rooms, and lounges.

Can I use this moulding in a room with low ceilings?

The CX123 is designed for standard or normal ceiling heights. For lower ceilings, a smaller cornice may be more appropriate.

What if I need to make a corner cut?

Use a miter saw to achieve precise 45-degree cuts for inside and outside corners. Practice on scrap pieces first.

Troubleshooting

Moulding is not sticking to the ceiling.

Ensure sufficient adhesive (FDP500) has been applied. Make sure the ceiling surface is clean and free of dust or debris. Use painter's tape to hold the moulding in place while the adhesive dries.

Visible gaps at the joints or corners.

Use FX210 jointing compound to fill the gaps. Sand down the compound after it dries to create a smooth finish.

Paint not adhering properly.

Make sure the surface is clean and dry before painting. Use a primer suitable for Duropolymer before applying the final coat.

Moulding is cracked or damaged during installation.

Carefully remove the damaged section and replace it with a new piece. Ensure you are handling the moulding with care.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Measure and Cut: Accurately measure the walls where the moulding will be installed. Cut the CX123 moulding to the required lengths using a fine-tooth saw.
Apply Adhesive: Apply FDP500 adhesive to the back of the moulding.
Position and Attach: Carefully position the moulding against the ceiling, ensuring it aligns correctly. Press firmly to secure it.
Jointing: Use FX210 jointing compound to fill any gaps or joints between sections of moulding and at the corners.
Priming and Painting: Once the adhesive and jointing compound are dry, the moulding is ready for a final coat of paint.

Compatibility

The CX123 moulding is compatible with most standard interior paints. It is also designed to work seamlessly with other Orac Decor mouldings, such as skirting boards (SX118, SX122, SX137), dado panel mouldings (PX103, PX113, PX120).

Care

Clean the moulding with a soft, damp cloth.
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.
Regularly inspect for any damage or separation from the wall/ceiling and repair as needed.
