FEATURES

Fibatuf MAXimum is the strongest translucent sheet on the market (Using Engineered E Glass and modified Acrylic Epoxy composite). Conforms to the most advanced Australian specification AS/NCS 4256 parts 1 & 3. From impact strength, tensile and flexural modulus. Fibatuf MAX is a heavy duty industrial sheet for extreme conditions or where longevity is required without the concern of strength reduction. It is a well known fact that thermoplastics like polycarbonate and PVC become brittle over time, however with the engineered com-posite of Fibatuf MAX, this is no longer a concern.

• Easy to clean • Highly resistant to chemicals• Good weather resistance• Hail resistant• Blocks harmful UV rays• Easy to work with • Range of colours and profiles• High fibre reinforced for extra strength• Can be made to AS 4256 standard of 2400, 3050 or 3600 gm/m2 specification

Industrial• Heavy duty (for extreme conditions)• Ideal for Chemical resistant applications - Mining, - condensor / coolers - galvanise plants, - food processing plants - refractories.

APPLICATIONS

fibatuf MAXINDUSTRIAL FIBREGLASS Sheeting

• AS4256-10.1 Glass content well in excess of 22%, in fact is at 40% pbw. Making it one of the most resilient sheets around. Notice picture to RHS where over 2400 Newtons (+250kg) was placed on a sheet with purlin spacing of 1.2m . Deflection of sheet was only 55mm.• AS4256-7.2 Thickness remains within specified tolerance• AS4256-7.4 Mass/m2 with 10% specified Tolerance• As4256 Tensile strength should be greater than 50 Mpa, Fibatuf Max is over 80MPa.

These are just some of the many prestigious projects the DURO group has been involved with over the years ranging from residential, commercial to industrial projects.

®1) Opal IBR Natralite Polycarbonate was used in this warehouse to increase natural lighting.2) The Modulit system in Opal and bright colours was installed for a modern look as well as good insulation and natural lighting.

® 3) 6mm Multilite Multiwall was installed for natural lighting and UV protection.

® 4) 6mm Multilite Multiwall with a print was installed to create partitioning and privacy.

®5) The Upanel system (seam up) was used in this installation.

® 6) Bronze IBR Natralite Polycarbonate was used in this factory to allow some natural lighting.7) In this installation they got creative and used both

® Upanel systems: seam up and seam down.® 8) Here 6mm Opal Multilite Multiwall was installed

in the passage way to create natural lighting.

NB: The Fasteners should be used together with the correct end-cap and Polybrix.The fasteners used to fix the sheeting (IBR or corrugated) atop the purlins will depend on the material it is being fixed to: timber or metal. To ensure even better support and waterproofing, use together with our Polybrix.Polybrix (closures) are made for particular applications and locations on the roof, with specific profile being used. DURO is manufac-turing the most commonly used Polybrix designs for residential and other applications.To further ‘round’ off the look, use our Poly-caps to cover the fastener atop the sheeting. Please speak to our DUROstore for further guidance and technical assistance.

Are nails with ridges or grooves along the shank, the part of the nail that penetrates the wood.These nails have a much better holding power than nails with a smooth shank because the rings act as wedges to keep the nail firmly in place so that it cannot pop out.

Flashing is a thin layer of waterproof material placed in construction to prevent water from getting into places it doesn’t belong or direct the flow of water. Flashing is used especially at roof hips and valleys, roof penetrations, joints between a roof and a vertical wall, and in masonry walls to direct the flow of water and moisture.Flashing types are named by their location of uses or shapes:1) Barge board flashing Used with profiled steel roofing to prevent the penetration of moisture to the ends of rafters. 2) Apex flashing / Ridge capping Use with profiled steel cladding. In a hori- zontal situation, this profile serves as gable or parapet wall flashing.3) Side-/ Head-/ Counter flashing This flashing permits expansion and contrac- tion between the brick wall parapet and roof sheeting, minimising the danger of leakage.4) Exterior corner flashing This accessory offers a detail corner finish for vertical profiled steel cladding.5) Internal corner flashing Also available as bull-nose flashings.

POLYBRIX

Polyester closure is a closed cell expanded rubber that is waterproof, weather resistant, UV resistant, dustproof and extremely durable. Polyester closure products are easy to install and are available in both broad and narrow flutes.

Multilite is a versatile multiwall sheeting that can be used for internal and external applications. This is a great energy and money saving product, because of its insulation benefits, light transmis-sion, very light weight in comparison to glass etc. and long lifespan. Available in various thicknesses, depending on job requirements, it is ideal for use as part of a climate controlled or heated structure such as greenhouses and animal breeding cages. The sheet is lightweight, which in turn offers cost savings on a project's structure. This material is self extinguishing and no toxic gases are released when caught alight.

FEATURES• Energy saving• Lightweight• High optical clarity• Damage and impact resistant• Longlife UV protection• Excellent fire performance• 10 year warranty

®Modulit engineered panel system in multiwall polycarbonate comes with an extensive range of aluminium profiles, custom-made fixing hooks and rubber gaskets for the installation of vertical glazing and windows of both the non-opening and awning variety. The Modulit® panels' "tongue and groove" fastening system means they can be installed without the need for verti-cal aluminium joining profiles, thus producing a wall made up of a seamless run of panels for unimpaired light transmission. We also have a range of ad-hoc profiles, with built-in thermal break, which reduce the frame's heat exchange to as little as 40%.

Fastest most efficient Polycarbonate mulitwall glazing system on market with the versatility of a unique fastening system. Ideal for wide range of applications from Building curtain wal-ling, domed walkways and insulation.

®Duroplastic Upanel system is a new solution for polycarbonate roof applications. The

®Upanel is connected by either a polycarbonate, aluminum or even a steel connector with its own klik fastening systems and does not need any

®fastening through the sheet. Upanel can be mounted with seam up or facing down.This ensures a 100% waterproof and dustproof

®solution. Upanel is characterized by a low cost, quick and easy installation, which makes it widely used for roofing and wall cladding.

®Upanel can be installed with the connector facing outward or inward - thus allowing for a perfect curtain wall application when on a vertical installation.
