The non woven wallpaper is one of the most succesful innovations during the past years.

The backing material of our non woven wallpaper is made of non woven synthetic cellulose-based fibres which are extremely humidity-resistant - therefore these wallpapers do not deform when they get in contact with the glue. Moreover they are tear-proof and able to span over irregularities and hide fissures in the wall. The procedure of hanging non woven wallpapers is very simple as well.

Non woven wallpapers are:

• glas fibre free, not toxic and washable
• tear-proof and dimensionally stable thanks to cellulose and textile fibres
• very resistent and long-living (the life period of wallpapers with a non woven backing is much longer in comparision with wallpapers on the basis of paper)
• strippable in dry without leaving residues of paste or paper

We offer a great variety of non woven wallpapers. Make your choice between fancy floral designs, embossed marble looks and pearly shimmering pastel designs as well as interesting visual appearances of different paint and plaster techniques.

Measure the length and width of your room, this gives the circumference of the room (2 x length + 2 x width). If you know the height of the walls you may use these charts to check the necessary wallpaper quantity. A probable wastage of 10% is already taken into account. In case of wallpapers with a large pattern (offset match) you will have to reckon more wastage.

There is no need to prepare this kind of wallpaper: directly on to the pasted wall and without previous soaking the dry wallpaper can be hung and cut off. If you prefer to put the paste on to the wallpaper's back as it is usual you also can do it like that - soaking time is not need. This modern technique will save you time and trouble and allows you to hang up your wallpapers without too much effort. Keep in mind that the walls shall be clean, dry, smooth and even.

Important information: You need a special kind of paste for non woven wallpapers.

Application and usage of wallpaper paste always depend on the wallpaper's texture as well as on the wall surface and the implemented tools. Strippable non woven wallpapers and heavyweight vinyl wallpapers need to be treated with a special paste respectively. For all our wallpapers we offer specialised high adhesive pastes that are characterised by their very good initial adherency. The PROFI paste for nonwoven-backed wallpaper and PROFI paste for paper-backed vinyl wallpaper are the best choice for paperhanging on any kind of walls and ceilings.

These PROFI pastes come in a modern instant form. They may be prepared and used just like traditional pastes but are ready to use after only three minutes. They are very economical, lump free, inodorous, they don't leave flecks and protect steadily against fungus.

It depends on the column shape but not on the material.

When cutting cone-shaped columns it may occur that column and pedestal do not conjoin perfectly and gaps or holes come to existence that have to be reworked with filler. Cilindrical shaped columns may be cut easily without any problems.

Orac flex is the perfect solution for decorating curved and rounded walls. Thanks to their flexibility these mouldings may be used to embellish curved walls and ceilings. For the first time you have the opportunity to decorate uneven walls, roundings or self-designed curves with the respective flexible mouldings. These flexible mouldings are handled in the same way as conventional PU-mouldings.

Yes, but in this case do only use our DecoFix Hydro paste instead of DecoFix Pro. You shall then use a quality paint that is suitable for outdoors as well.

Generally this is not a problem as far as the surface to be decorated is absorbant enough. Bathrooms often are tiled up to the ceiling. In this case the specialised paste DecoFix Hydro should be used.

If you can't decide straightaway which moulding you wish to order you have the possibility to order one or several samples of Orac mouldings. The length of one sample item is approx. 10 cm / 3.49 inches. So you can convince yourself of the outstanding quality of our products before purchasing.

Many Orac roses are available with a special space for hiding cables and wires. In case of application of a ceiling rose for lamps and lustres you will have to perforate the rose for passing through the cord. Furthermore, before sticking the rose on to the ceiling, don't forget to install a functionally adequate suspension hook for lamps and (heavy) lustres.

Visually Orac decorative mouldings can not be distinguished form real plaster mouldings. But in comparision to conventional stucco elements made of plaster or wood the Orac products convince through their light weight and higher solidity. Orac mouldings have smooth and exacly worked surfaces. All motifs and decoration elements are precise and sharp-edged. Less expensive cornice mouldings and stucco elements are made of polystyrol foam. They are worked less precisely and are less sharp-edged. Hence decoration workings with this kind of mouldings are usually inaccurate and the relievo decor is not too visually clear and exact. Moreover this material is not cuttable as good because it tends to burst easily.

The mouldings have to be cranked, meaning that at the mouldings are mitred (use an oddment for the connection to the wall to cover the hole). Check the figure:
