EASY TO INSTALL & PAINT - WATERPROOF - IMPACT RESISTANT - MULTIFUNCTIONAL
| "I was very impressed with the cornice. I have in the past used plaster type cornice and tend to be old school in this respect. That is until now. The Orac decorative coving is the business. So light, requiring only one person to carry out installation. Easy to manage, cut and manipulate into position. Adhesive is also easy to use, but joints do need to be wiped as soon as possible. To say the least, I am very pleased with the results. I have been a little sceptical of this type of produce in the past, but once I got to actually see it and hold it (went along to Coulsdon Home Hardware) I was sold on it. A cracking good product, I will be using this again and writing a review' |
| Thank you very much for the excellent support and customer service. I am glad we chose you over your coving competitors and will gladly recommend you in the future. |
| “Very, Very Helpful. You cannot beat the service and quality this company provided. Will be using again when next stage of home needs changing. Many Thanks" |
| “Many thanks, service and style are great. Seldom have I received better service." |
| "Excellent coving, much easier than plaster, whole room done in a couple of hours" |
| "Excellent overall: the goods, delivery time, communication, packaging etc. As a total package of goods for anyone wanting to put up coving for the first time this is a must." |

· ORAC DECOR® Duropolymer® conforms to the following norms and standards:
o FDA regulation 21CFR 177.1640 (USA)
o BGA Section 5.1 (Germany)
o EC Directive EEC 90/128 (European Communities)
o EN71 (European Communities)
BS 476:part 7 Class 1 (UK) The revolutionary nature of the material and the modern moulding process enables a much sharper level of detail to be incorporated in the designs, making it perfect for the home where distinction and elegance is the theme.
Weighing just a fraction of the weight of plaster, it is remarkably strong and resilient to knocks or damage on site or during installation. Consequently these mouldings are quick and easy to install (typically in around half the time compared to plaster, without the need for a second person).
Nor are there the traditional difficulties, mess or wastage, saving the installer time and money. Furthermore there are none of the usual concerns about cracking or shrinkage normally associated with plaster - these ornaments will enhance the look of your home for many years to come.
Pre-primed, ready to paint or stain to the desired finish effect (with only a single coat required), users are realising that without doubt this is now the new ‘traditional’ product material to replace plaster mouldings.
