Profix Systems
VENTILATED, DRAINED AND CONCEALED FIXING SYSTEMS
Proprietary Profix ventilated facade systems have been specifically designed by Décortech for use with Trespa Meteon panels. Profix systems offer ventilation, drainage and concealed fixing for both flat panel and weatherboard facades. They have been designed to address the four key principles of Drainage, Drying, Deflection and Durability.
Profix Proprietary systems are weather-tight offering unique and patented systems of ventilation, drainage and concealed fixing for both flat panel and weatherboard facades. Designed with differential movement in mind all Profix systems are fixed one-directional with built-in tolerance to allow for the natural movement that occurs between the framing, aluminum rails and the façade panel.
Profix ventilated facade systems deliver intelligent fixing methods that enable almost limitless design possibilities, these unique ventilating facades are designed to create functionality to Trespa Meteon panels. In industry studies, ventilated facade systems are a proven way to create energy-efficient, long-lasting facades, that are shown to reduce energy needs and improve interior environments to benefit occupants health.
Profix systems have been developed in New Zealand and tested to meet the requirements of the New Zealand Building Code. Profix flat panel and weatherboard facade systems have been tested to meet the requirements of AS/NZS 4284, NZBC E2/AS1/VM1 and B2 respectively. Furthermore, all our systems have been Peer Reviewed by an IANZ accredited Façade Engineer and Durability Appraised by a Corrosion Specialist to ensure all elements comply with New Zealand durability standards. This includes colour stability and a life cycle analysis of our Trespa Meteon panels.
Profix ventilated façade systems have been developed to meet the current building requirements and include:

Profix TS20
Profix TS20 Concealed fixed flat panel façade system is a unique aluminium vertical rail system specifically designed for use with Trespa Meteon panels. TS20 offers a cost-effective method for fixing Trespa Meteon panels with a vertical set out and up to a maximum height of 4.6 meters.
Profix TS20 is perfect for single storey buildings, parapets and all simple low-level construction. Panels are configured vertically with either a ship-lapped vertical joint or an open jointed 10mm negative. Horizontal joints are formed with a simple horizontal shiplap that enables panels to extend to 4.6 meters high.
Panels can be configured to utilise various colours and widths to enhance even the simplest build.
Profix TS20 is compliant and tested to meet the requirements of AS/NZS 4284, NZBC E2/AS1/VM1, and B2 respectively.
As with our other Profix systems, TS20 offers architects the design flexibility when combined with our Trespa panel and the extensive range of colours, four different finishes, as well as the impact, UV, and graffiti resistance that the Trespa panel provides. Both concealed and exposed fixing options are available.

Profix TS35
Profix TS35 Concealed fixed flat panel façade system is a unique aluminium multi-rail system specifically designed for use with Trespa Meteon panels.
The TS35 multi-rail system has been designed to allow for trans directional movement between the panel and the built substrate.
TS35 rails are fixed independently to a 35mm cavity system that enables the façade to be fixed without penetrating the air seal or farming. TS35 drains and ventilates at every horizontal joint whilst the TS35-11 Rails provide mechanical support to the Sika Tac adhesive system. Panels are ship-lapped at vertical joints to effectively weatherproof the joint whilst allowing for movement between panels. Panels can be oriented in different directions for distinctive visual effects across a facade face.
TS35 is further enhanced with a full range of anodised flashing components for windows and internal and external corners.
TS35 is compliant and tested to meet the requirements of AS/NZS 4284, NZBC E2/AS1/VM1, and B2 respectively

Profix TS45
Profix TS45 Concealed fixed flat panel façade system is a unique aluminium vertical rail system specifically designed for use with Trespa® Meteon® vertical panels. TS45 offers a greater design scope due to its 45mm cavity that can be increased up to 450mm when fixed in conjunction with special stand-off brackets. This allows flexibility when designing for either new buildings or over-cladding existing façades and means TS45 can offer an economical solution for straightening existing structures.
Profix TS45 is ideally suited to multi-level applications with complex design requirements, such as parapets, and can be specifically designed to achieve a rail spanning capability of up to 1.2m.
Trespa panels are configured vertically with 10mm expressed joints and creative use of colour and panel widths can enhance even the simplest façade.
Profix TS45 is tested to and or compliant with the requirements of AS/NZS 4284 and sections B1, B2 & E2 of the NZBC.
As with our other Profix systems, TS45 offers architects the design flexibility when combined with our Trespa panel and the extensive range of colours, four different finishes, as well as the impact, UV and graffiti resistance that the Trespa panel provides.
