5 Corporate Overview smartfix Industries - a proud Australian owned family company can claim over thirty years of experience in commercial construction together with a truly enviable reputation for quality service. During the building boom of the late nineties, preparing for the most successful Olympics ever, smartfix Industries did indeed excel in their field of expertise, building facades, by developing superior fixing systems to replace the inferior products that were rife at the time. smartfix systems have well exceeded the Australian Standard requirements AS4284 for Weather Perfomance and Structural Integrity. The smartfix systems easily attained a pass despite being bombarded with water at over fifty litres per second while subject to intense negative and positive pressure. The smartfix method has eliminated obtrusive and unsightly screws, tapes and heavy face sealants. smartfix fixing components are easily adaptable to all termination points of the facade. The CSIRO have referred to the smartfix system as sharp and clean with pleasing architectural features which is both waterproof and self draining Leading suppliers, dealing in the gamut of construction panels, know all too well the necessity for a well engineered fixing system to achieve an optimum result that will maintain throughout the years. That is why smartfix Industries (a division of Hiltive Pty Ltd) has produced a mechanical fix system which is available in unlimited colours for all vertical and horizontal jointing, window framing and parapet cappings, for both internal and external applications.. Mirvac Head Office Sydney NSW Architects: HPA Architects The smartfix fixing system is suitable for panels with the required core strength, such as Aluminium Composite panel, MDF Timber panels, Porcelain and Ceramic panels. Under the astute auspices of managing director, Angelo Turco, smartfix Industries have been involved in some of the largest cladding projects in the construction industry, to name a few : the National Museum of Australia Façade rainscreen and the recently completed Department of Immigration (a recent MBA winner of building excellence). smartfix addresses all issues regarding the environment which allows all aluminum fixing components to be easily removed and reused or recycled.

8 Fixing Details With an emphasis on flexibility, a wide range of aluminum extrusions have been developed to provide the designer with a number of fixing options for both internal and external applications. Engage a representative at the early planning stages and we can assist in showing how your facade can best utilise the efficiencies of the fixing system. A variety of extrusions can be configured in a number of ways to suit Architectural needs. To create a facade free of exposed fixings was once an involved task, and more commonly achievable with the use of exposed silicones. With 30 years of experience in the cladding industry, the fixing system has been developed to introduce a more efficient way of creating a facade free of exposed fixings and sealants, acknowledging the importance of architectural and aesthetic demands.

13 Aluminium Fixing Profiles - Colour Options Products can be classified into 5 categories in more than 400 series covering over 8000 specifications. 1. Untreated Profiles: (Mill Finish) Aluminium profiles without surface treatment. Extrusions of various industrial and architectural aluminium profiles are available 2. Anodizing & Electrocolouring: Anodizing is an electro-chemical process used to create a protective film, a wide range of colours and shades can be obtained on the surface of aluminium profiles through the process of electrocolouring. The coating grows from the base aluminium metal by this electro-chemical process. The coating is integral to the metal and can not peel or flake. The structure of the coating is many small hexagonal pores, which are filled with a seal that hydrolyzes these pores to fill them with inert aluminium oxide. The anodized profile has excellent weatherability and is abrasion resistant. Anodizing gives aluminium a deeper, richer metallic appearance. We have matte finish and mill finish with four colour series of silver, bronze, titanium and gold. 3. Electrophoretic Coating: Based on anodizing, through effect of electrophoresis, to create an acrylic film on the anodized film, hence forming a combined film of anodized film and acrylic film. It has super strong corrosion resistance and can combat acid, alkaline and salt erosion. Electrophoretic coated profiles are the best aluminium profiles to combat construction slurry corrosion. It can be used for 50 years without corrosion, aging, colouring and peeling off. It has a smooth gentle hand-feel and a beautiful splendid appearance. Besides the colours based on anodized colouring, we can also produce coloured electrophoretic coated profiles in such colours as white and green. 4. Powder Coating: There are unlimited colours available to provide a wide leeway for the designers. It has stable properties and strong coating film adhesion. It cannot easily peel off. It is acid, salt and slurry corrosion resistant and has outstanding durability and weatherability. The powder coating film is not volatile or oxidized in the air. It is environmentally friendly and causes no pollution. 5 PVDF Coating: The electrostatic process is used to create PVDF coating on the surface of the aluminium profiles. PVDF coatings are usually formulated from PVDF, fluoride and carbon. PVDF coating has long-lasting colour consistency and outstanding aging, corrosion and air pollution resistance. PVDF is relatively chemically inert and resistant to corrosive environments. PVDF is a high class aluminium profiles surface coating means. PVDF coating offers more than 160 colours to provide an unlimited design space. PVDF coating has marvellous colour consistency. It has superior discolouring and staining resistances that means newly coated colours can be well matched to the previously coated colours even if building expansion is carried out after many years. PVDF coating aluminium profiles are the best selection for high class and deluxe residential buildings. Cool Gr ey Metallic Blue

14 Jointing Options Extrusions No.17 and 18 Horizontal and Vertical Joiners. Joiner Extrusions No.17 and 18 below are a quick and efficient way to join a variety of selected panels. This method of fixing will enable the jointing process to become a part of the holistic approach to facade design. Jointing extrusions can be powder coated, anodised even reshaped to achieve a number of outcomes. Consult a representative for all design alternatives and extrusion options.

15 Corner Details Extrusion No.12 External Corner Detail. Extrusion No.12 is a classic detail providing both a sharp and finished edge. It is an integral part to the idea of creating a durable and intended fixing system for your facade. The elimination of exposed sealants and faced fixed fasteners will reduce the risk of long term failure. Exposed sealants are an item reputed for continual facade failure. The mechanical concealed seal integral to the system, not only achieves a more durable and lasting seal, it also allows for a more controlled and precise method of joining facade panels.

19 Window Frame Details Window head and sill detail using Extrusion No.14 Determining what is the most ideal and efficient way to combine both glazing channel and facade cladding can at times be difficult. Extrusions No.14 and No.15 are compatible with most commercial and residential framing suites due to the inclusion of a deep back edge which doubles as a framed reveal. This framed reveal creates a lining for the window openings, easing the process of locating glazing frames, from either outside or inside the building.

20 Window Jamb Details Window jamb detail fixed using Extrusion No14. Typically, Glazing and associated framing components are installed prior to the installation of facade cladding. At times this may not be the most desirable order of staging the construction process. To allow for flexibility in the construction process, Extrusion No.14 and No.15 provides you with the choice to install facade cladding prior to the commencement of any Glazing works. A representative can advise on what is the best and most efficient solution for combining your selected glazing frames and facade panels. a f b d g c i Extrusion No.14 e Wella Head Office - Sydney NSW Horizontal joiner Extrusion No.17.

See CSIRO Opinion Number FCO-1024 for full details. Durability No change in bond strength after 1000 hours of acid salt spray exposure in accordance with ASTMB The advantages of SymFix s core The advantages of SYMONITE over other composite panels available to building professionals stem from its unique thermosetting core construction. Extreme Impact Resistance makes SYMONITE a suitable building element where compartmentalisation of fire is an important aspect in fire safety engineering and design. High Degrees of Stiffness and Rigidity reduces facade engineering and construction costs through superior wind loading characteristics. High Temperature Stability prevents creep and telegraphic deformation of the external face of the panel on high ambient or high surface temperature conditions because the core does not soften. UV Stability means that the panel edges can be fully exposed to the elements thus introducing design and fabrication options and also reducing fabrication and installation costs. Homogenous Thermal Expansion means no differential thermal expansion between the panel s aluminium skin and its core, thus ensuring panel flatness over a wide temperature range.

SymFix - Colour Range The standard Symonite composite panels are finished with a PVDF (polyvinylidene difluoride) coil coated paint system. The PVDF paint system is probably the most durable paint finish on the market today, with an expected useful life under normal conditions, of a minimum of 20 years. The paint finish is well known for its consistency in colour from panel to panel, and also its superior resistance to fading and chalking. Finished panels are supplied with a strippable pvc film for protection of the paint finish during transportation and assembly. There are six standard stock colours in the Symonite range: Kosciusko White, Silver Pearl Metallic, Matte Grey Metallic, Champagne Metallic, Altnum Bronze Metallic and Smoke Blue Metallic. There are also limited quantities of non-standard stock colours available upon request: Kurrewa Blue, Boss Blue, Village Sand, Light Grey, Tindal Grey, Poly Beige, Eucalyptus Green, Brunswick Green, Titan Green, Ord River Red, Tropical Yellow. On larger projects we are able to match a selected colour in a PVDF paint finish. Refer Symonite Australia for the minimum quantities and lead times that apply. Symfix Aluminium Composite has an extensive colour range, please contact a Symonite Representative for sample colours required.
