Vitrafix Facade System Accessories

As part of the complete service offer, Fairview’s Vitrafix provides a complete range of supporting accessories, including weatherproofing, sub-framing, and fixing options. Vitrafix is aimed at making sure the right system sundries are selected every time. Panels and accessories can be ordered and delivered on the same truck, with consolidated billing, ensuring our customers can manage their projects efficiently and effectively.

To support our growing range of façade systems and provide you with a complete service offer, we are constantly reviewing products to make each project easier and more compliant. Some examples of this are Fairview’s unique S Battens that facilitate panel thermal movement across the Linear range, with the added benefit of perforations to stop moisture build up and promote air circulation in the cavity.

We are also working with external bodies, incorporating the latest NCC changes, to deliver improvements on how things are being done. Our new Z Angle design has evolved to widen the contact area with panels, allowing for tape to be used to strengthen the integrity of the cassette system.

Further, the inclusion of perforated top hats into the Vitrafix range are designed to facilitate better air movement and drainage within the wall cavity, especially when fixed in a horizontal orientation. By improving ventilation, through the use of perforated top hats, you can reduce heat build-up behind the façade, aide in passive moisture management, limit thermal movement and, in turn, reduce the likelihood for out of plane movement along the panel surface.

Renowned for extensive testing and compliance on our façade systems, Fairview utilises the Vitrafix accessory range when building test rigs, ensuring everything works together to deliver a fully compliant system.
