W120 Wall Panel
PUROTOUCH®
Master Wall Panel (can be used with or without decorative inserts).
The W120 Wall Panel is a key element used for creating our “Autoire” classic look. The whole concept behind the Autoire Collection was that Orac would offer an easily installed panelling system to recreate classic looks that are being lost in the modern era.
The Autoire family of mouldings should be treated as a “toolbox” for recreating a style which would usually require specialist woodworking skills which have largely been lost since the traditional apprenticeships have died out. Using the Orac W120 wall panel it’s possible to create either tall portrait style frames on walls, or wide landscape feature panels. Tradesmen using our Purotouch panels and adhesives can create anything from a traditional oak panelled room to a funky “Man Cave” or “Country Club” effect when combining the various elements of the “Autoire” range.
In addition to the noticeable advantages of an easily installed man-made wall panelling system there’s a further key benefit. The Autoir panel range can be used to “cover over” walls which are in a poor condition – without the requirement for masses of filling and making good before-hand.
Designs which feature floor to ceiling Autoir mouldings can either be spray painted on site (for the best finish) or painted by hand after the panels have been fitted. For a more expansive panelled effect with gaps between the W120 and W121 installers will invariably need to paint (and make good) the walls and then apply paint to the panels as well.
If the project requires rectangular panels with further 3D relief then simply apply our additional Autoir series decorative elements. The most obvious addition is our square W121, which like the W120 can also accept our W122 disc and W123 pyramid inserts.
We recommend you choose our FDP700 for fitting all Autoir decorative items. Do call us if you need further guidance on adhesives.

Recommended Adhesives
We recommended the use of FX400 and FDP700 Orac adhesives along the length of our profiles to ensure a good installation. On smaller Orac profiles being installed onto dry walls and ceilings (where any new plaster has had at least 6 months to thoroughly dry out) FDP500 can be used to fix mouldings, and FL300 can be used as a filler, which is especially useful for smoothing off external corners (once FX400 has cured) and on joints with uneven ceilings.
