• .5mm High Tensile skin used front and back of ACP
• Concealed fixed, Mechanically fixed – full perimeter of panel
• Perfect joint uniformity from end to end and top to bottom
• Superior structural rating
• Cosmetically and structurally more advanced for all Aluminium Composite Panel installations
• No exposed face sealants used for vertical and horizontal joints
• Low Maintenance as a result of no exposed sealants
• Up to 20% quicker to install over traditional cassette jointing systems
• Once panels are installed scaffolding can be immediately removed
• Fully compatible when interfacing with all types of Aluminium window sections

THE SMARTFIX SYSTEM DOES NOT REQUIRE A RAINSCREEN AND HAS PASSED NATA ACCREDITATION CYCLIC TEST AS4040.3 CYCLONE ZONES AND CSIRO AS 4284 – 1995 WEATHER PERFOMANCE 7.5 AND STRUCTURAL TEST 7.3.

Heavy sealants used in tape and cassette fix systems:

• Trap dust and dirt
• Harbor Bacteria
• Bleed into edging of panels due to petroleum content commonly found in facade sealants (staining panels)
• Short life span
• Unsightly from day of installation

Tape and Cassette fix systems:

• Uneven and inconsistent joint lines
• Inconsistent straightness from substructure
• Reliant on heavy face sealants for weather seal
• Creeping joint tolerances can result in uneven jointing and varying joint widths
• Increased labour to install tape and Cassette fix systems and caulking with heavy sealants.

Smartfix is a concealed and mechanically fixed facade system, which comes in unlimited colours, and guarantees panel uniformity from panel to panel for the life cycle of the building.
