Solara Architectural Sunscreens

Fibrefast is a prefinished, factory-painted compressed fibre cement facade system designed to provide a fast, cost-effective cladding solution for commercial and residential projects. The panels arrive ready to install, eliminating the need for onsite painting and reducing construction time.

Fibrefast panels are factory finished, delivering a consistent coating and colour that is difficult to achieve with onsite painting. This approach improves finish quality, reduces labour requirements, minimises weather-related delays, and speeds up project timelines.

Fibrefast can be used across Type A and Type B constructions, including education projects, multi-residential developments, shopping & retail and industrial buildings. 

Fibrefast panels are available in:

Thickness: 9mm
Width: 1200mm
Length: 2500mm or 3000mm

Fibrefast is available in four stocked colours:

Crystal White
Alpine White
Granite Grey
Raven

Custom colours can also be produced to match project requirements. Longer lead times will be applicable for custom colours.

Yes. Fibrefast can be colour-matched to project-specific requirements. Custom colour lead times typically apply.

Fibrefast panels are installed as a ventilated rainscreen facade system using a face-fixed method with colour-coded screws and supporting top hat sub-framing. This system supports moisture management and building performance. 

Yes. Fibrefast panels can be cut onsite using standard tools. The combination of a flexible acrylic coating and charcoal baseboard allows panels to be cut cleanly without compromising appearance. 

No specialist tools are required. Fibrefast can be installed using standard construction tools. Installers should follow the installation guide for correct procedures and detailing. 

Fibrefast includes a 10-year warranty on the panel and a 5-year warranty on the factory-applied coating, subject to standard terms and conditions. 

Fibrefast panels are tested to AS 2908 for fibre cement sheets, are deemed non-combustible, and have been tested to AS 1530.3. The system is also suitable for use in BAL-40 bushfire zones. 

Because the panels arrive factory painted and ready to install, Fibrefast eliminates the need for onsite painting and curing. This reduces coordination between trades, shortens construction schedules, and lowers weather-related delays. 

Yes. Samples are available in the stocked colours and can be supplied for design review and project specification. Custom colour samples can also be arranged where required. Request a free sample here.
