Frequently Asked Questions - Product information

The polyurethane used as a raw material has a thermal conductivity of 0.06 W/mK. Due to their low thickness, ARSTYL® WALL PANELS and TILES do not fall into the category of insulating products. Furthermore, they do not have an integrated vapour barrier. However, if the panels are installed on walls facing outwards, the dew point may change, which requires an expert assessment of the moisture protection. The geometry gives the panels acoustic properties, but these have not been measured.

The technical data sheets of our different products are available on our website. Go to the "documents" page https://noel-marquet.be/en/documents/ then tick the "datasheet" bubble.

All products in our WALLSTYL®, ARSTYL®, DOMOSTYL® and most NOMASTYL® ranges are coated with a white acrylic primer and can therefore be painted immediately in the colour of your choice. When painting these profiles, use solvent-free paints (e.g. dispersion paints, acrylic paints, etc.). We recommend that you carry out a test run before painting the entire profile. It is also important to follow the instructions of the paint manufacturer. Lime paints, silicate paints and silicone resin emulsion paints and their mixtures are not suitable for NOËL & MARQUET products. DOMOSTYL® profiles should be painted within 4 weeks of installation with pure acrylic resin-based facade paints. For optical reasons, we recommend the first coat with plaster or façade paint. The last coat of exterior paint should be fungicidal. The brightness index of the facade paint should not be less than 45. For ARSTYL® WALL PANELS and TILES, we recommend that they are painted before installation by spray or brush. Please always refer to the data sheets and installation instructions.

The products in the DOMOSTYL® range are intended for outdoor use, all other products are for indoor use only.

All our extruded products; WALLSTYL® (HDPS) and NOMASTYL® (PS) are 100% recyclable.

All NOËL & MARQUET products are water resistant.

NOËL & MARQUET products are available in four qualities which also constitute our four product ranges: ARSTYL®, WALLSTYL®, NOMASTYL® and DOMOSTYL®. These four ranges, made up of different materials, give the products specific technical and aesthetic properties, adapted to each area of use and to best meet all needs. Here are the main properties of these four product ranges: ARSTYL®: ARSTYL® products are manufactured using a foaming process; high density polyurethane (PU) foam is injected into aluminium moulds to give the products precise and impressive 3D details, patterns and shapes. WALLSTYL®: WALLSTYL® products are manufactured using a high-density polystyrene (HDPS) extrusion process, which allows for the production of lightweight yet highly impact and moisture resistant products. NOMASTYL®: These products are also manufactured using an extrusion process, but differ from WALLSTYL® products in their density. NOMASTYL® products are made of polystyrene (PS) making them lighter but less impact resistant. These attributes make it an ideal material for cornices which are less likely to be damaged than other profiles. DOMOSTYL®: these high density polyurethane (PU) foam products for facade decoration are covered with a reinforcement sheet and a silica-filled acrylic primer to resist to weathering and to be installed outdoors.

The main weakness of MDF is its sensitivity to water. This is an issue when used in bathrooms, kitchens and when washing floors with water. A non-waterproof skirting board can deteriorate. WALLSTYL® skirtings are made of 100% polystyrene and are therefore naturally waterproof and dimensionally stable. WALLSTYL® skirtings are 100% waterproof and therefore offer a longer lifetime than MDF skirtings, which can become damaged and swell with water absorption.
