    What Orac Decor makes

    Orac Decor makes lightweight architectural elements for interior walls and ceilings, supplied primed and ready to paint, so they take the colour of the scheme.

    • Skirting: contemporary and classic profiles, several of which can also be used as panel moulding or coving.
    • Coving: coving and cornice mouldings for the junction of wall and ceiling.
    • Wall mouldings: panel mouldings for wall panelling, with pre-cut corner pieces for some profiles.
    • 3D wall covering: raised, textured panels such as HILL and REED that create a three-dimensional effect on a flat wall; many are available in 2.6 m lengths.
    • Coving lighting: uplighter and downlighter profiles that conceal LED strips for indirect light.
    • Decorative elements: ceiling, door-frame and window-surround details.

    Materials and finishes

    Orac Decor products are made in Duropolymer®, a light material ORAC developed in 2000, and in Purotouch®. Many wall mouldings and selected 3D panels also come in a flexible version for curved walls; the minimum radius varies by design.

    • Finish: primed for a smooth, matt surface and better paint adhesion, and can be repainted.
    • Performance: Orac lists its mouldings as impact resistant, water resistant and lightweight, and made for indoor use.
    • Fire: not fire retardant as standard; Purotouch and Duropolymer profiles can be finished with an intumescent coating, and some designs have FR references.
    • Recycled content: Orac states that its mouldings contain a percentage of recycled material as standard.

    Coving lighting

    Orac's coving lighting profiles hide an LED strip inside the moulding so the light is diffused across the wall and ceiling. Orac does not supply the LED system itself; it recommends a lighting specialist or qualified electrician and an aluminium channel for the strip. At Faura, CX190 U-PROFILE uplighters are fitted in the ground-floor office.

    Sustainability

    ORAC has held ISO 14001 certification since 2010 and has used 100% renewable electricity in its facilities since 2022. It describes its sites in Ostend and Lipany as CO₂-neutral and publishes a sustainability report.
