4 What is a SupaExpance Taut Ceiling? The SupaExpance taut ceiling system consists of several parts that work together in unison to produce the perfect result. The entire system is produced to conform to the European Standard EN 14716:2004, the only international standard specifically designed for this type of ceiling system by the countries where the technology originated. Installer: Selected, trained and certified by SUPAWOOD to ensure the end result meets and exceeds your expectations. SupaExpance Taut Ceiling Track System The Ceiling: Tailor-made in an ISO9001:2000 certified factory using high frequency welding to ensure that it lasts. On the perimeter is prefixed the patented harpoon or anchor which is especially designed to allow easy de-click for future access to services. The sheets have been tested to conform to the highest fire safety standards. Accessories The Perimeter Frames: These tracks are a nonvisible design which works with the protector strip and covering strip. Protector strip: This nifty piece of technology constitutes a significant advantage over others in the market by greatly facilitating the installation of angled corners and reduces risk of sheet tearing in the corners at time of installation or removal. Cover Strip: Available in White and Black this finishes off the ceiling with a snug seal to the surrounding surfaces. The strength of SupaExpance is in its exclusive interlocking system It can be rapidly installed and rapidly taken down. A complete and multi-use system, SupaExpance comes with over a hundred options, colours and textures for a wide variety of projects. Standard renovations, the creation of a luxury showroom filled with light or the installation of a thermo-dynamic ceiling including ventilation, heating and air conditioning

5 How It Works A project with SupaExpance is simple, clean and quick. The technology for SupaExpance taut ceilings is extensively used throughout Europe where it has earned its spurs in the construction industry and for good reason as the system's merits now have an excellent reputation. Advanced and adaptable to many applications from a simple white renovated ceiling to 3D creations full of light, SupaExpance assembly is extremely simple. On-site execution is astonishingly fast and even more so when conditions are clean and dry. The Installation process 1 The SupaExpance Installer All SupaExpance installers are trained and certified at Supawood's purpose built training facility in Bathurst NSW. 2 Taking measurements Carried out in the traditional manner, but with tool kits specially designed for SupaExpance, including laser measuring tools. The measurements which may involve an unlimited number of angles and corners are prepared ready for transmission to the production site in the required format. 3 Fitting Tracks On site, the peripheral structure is set in place by mechanical means on the wall or ceiling: using a simple laser level, the operation is extremely simple. SupaExpance utilises a limited number of track options which are highly adaptable to multiple conditions therefore ordering, stocking, and installation are simplified. 4 Fitting accessories Finally, the details are seen to: Posts, columns, integrated down lights, chandeliers, LED systems, ventilation and sprinklers. Custom accessories simplify installation and guarantee perfect performance. 5 Installation of the SupaExpance Ceiling Prior to installation, the thermo-expandable SupaExpance is made supple by slightly raising the temperature of the surroundings for the time needed to lock the anchor into the track. The Ceiling is automatically tensioned as it cools, thanks to its thermo-retractable design. The ceiling remains firm with no problems. The site work is completed, with no noise, damage, or rubbish! 6 Removal for renovation and other work Both installation and removal of the Stretch Ceiling are straightforward: No demolition or finishing when you need a new automation system, safety installation or IT networks for example

6 Colours... from pure white to flashy fuchsia A SupaExpance taut ceiling is the sign of quality architecture. It is also an essential element in interior decoration providing a wide range of creative possibilities. Dare to bring colour into your house, create calm in the work place, make your sales space dynamic, create a personalised decor, make the heart beat faster... everything is a matter of colour, materials, design, atmosphere. More than one hundred colours An extremely elegant range of whites will always hold pride of place in the SupaExpance range which also includes one hundred or so colours. Following trends and fashion as well as the desires of designers, the SupaExpance range is regularly updated with new colours. Matt, gloss or gentle satin finish Matt is neutral in effect, a gloss finish increases the feeling of space, satin finishes soften, suede makes things appear closer. Choosing wisely is essential to a project's success. Digitally printed decor A logo, a baroque fresco, a setting sun... The technique is the same - precise, 100% reliable, impressive.

7 Clean Ceilings - Open Spaces - Shapes - Traditional... every look is possible with SupaExpance Open Spaces In this elegant museum the ceiling makes for a calm and sober atmosphere, giving a great sense of depth. In this case SupaExpance is fixed to a coffered ceiling made of a plaster shell. Indirect lighting, totally invisible, has been installed to the sides. It creates a pleasant environment, luminous but not aggressive, thanks to the excellent light reflecting properties of the SupaExpance matt ceiling. Above: The numerous constraints of a shopping centre presents no problems. Below: The creation of character in this beautiful wine cellar

8 Contemporary Interior The most daring designers can count on SupaExpance's flexibility. In this showroom a totemic form has been created. It structures the space and gives it a gentle, light, original touch. The ceiling, with a gloss finish reflects the column making it even more impressive. Above: High tech version of an air conditioning ceiling in an apartment. Below: A mirrored ceiling creates an interesting effect

9 Traditional Interior This luxury hotel is the perfect example of how any style is possible. The green gloss of this ceiling creates an astonishing perspective to the ceiling, illuminates it and hangs smoothly without the slightest ripple. From the technical point of view, the integration of the track with the plaster has been particularly carefully done so that complete invisibility is achieved. Above: The gloss ceilings create the effect of more visual space. Below: The SupaExpance range includes as many as a hundred colours

11 Swimming Pool SupaExpance ceilings are well suited to steamy environments so it is not surprising that SupaExpance is widely used in public and private swimming pools. By using SupaExpance secure and lasting protection is assured for the structure above which will not deteriorate. The ceiling makes maintenance effortless. In this example the design is particularly elaborate with inverted pyramids. Above: The gloss ceiling over this pool emphasises the reflections of the water. Below: SupsExpance Daylight in this design creates an "open sky" effect

12 SupaExpance Climaclick Heating, ventilation or air conditioning... SupaExpance Climaclick means thermodynamic comfort Climaclick revolutionises heating, ventilation and cooling by gentle and even diffusion of air, whether hot or cold. It never causes air draughts. This diffusion process leads to greater comfort with lower energy consumption. 1 Hot or cold air enters between the pre-existing ceiling and the SupaExpance taut ceiling, forming a cushion of air with an even temperature, which is then radiated over the whole area of the room. The ceiling becomes a huge radiator, every kilowatt is used to good effect. 1 - SupaExpance ceiling 2 - Peripheral slots 3 - Fan 4 - Air inlet 5 - Supply plenum 6 - Return air 7 - Re-circulated air 8 - Exhaust air 9 - Fresh air 2 Pre-existing ceiling More than 50,000 sq metres of Climaclick have been installed The air is diffused through the interior of the room, thanks to peripheral calibrated controls. Instead of being concentrated in an aggressive blast, often noisy as well as not aesthetically pleasing, the airflow is diffused gently via a long thin peripheral opening, which is barely noticeable. The air circulates from top to bottom at a very low speed along the walls. As it circulates, it warms or cools the walls, which then radiate heat or cold in return. The incoming air mixes progressively with the existing air, throughout the whole volume of the space, without creating draughts. In the occupation area, the mix is almost perfect: in cooling mode, the difference in temperature between the head and the feet (1.70 meters) is lower than 1 C, and never goes beyond 1.5 C. For further information please... click here or contact us for a SupaExpance Climaclick brochure The ceiling radiates over its whole surface, the walls radiate over a good part of their height. The sensation of coolness or heat is present at every point, with no exaggeration: there is no point in adjusting the thermostat for an effect in a particular area. Climaclick offers the best combination of radiation, convection and air flow. Climaclick is particularly effective in "free cooling" mode, with no external energy use. It functions whatever its shape, plain or three dimensional. Climaclick frees up space by rendering radiators, thermostats and ducting redundant. The system of radiation has very low inertia. Any change in the t e m p e r a t u r e s e l e c t e d i s perceived almost immediately by the occupants. Climaclick works alone or in combination with all types of energy and all systems: with a heat pump and all direct systems, with hot and iced water, hot or cold air, oil burning stoves, gas, wood, geothermal systems. The perfect temperature... an idea to come back to! The sensation of heat depends partly on the temperature of the air and partly on radiation from the walls, the winter sun is a good example. Inside an air temperature of 23 C with cold walls would be felt as uncomfortable. However, a temperature of 19 C with a ceiling that radiates over its whole surface would be judged very comfortable

13 Air Conditioning SupaExpance Climaclick ceiling air conditioning system is as well-adapted to professional as it is to private spaces. In this loft living area the SupaExpance matt white ceiling increases the feeling of space. The entire surface radiates heat or cold thanks to a reverse cycle air conditioning system. The temperature is always maintained while the system avoids the unpleasant draughts and noise of traditional air conditioning. Above: With a stable temperature environment, SupaExpance Climaclick creates better thermal comfort. Below: In this luxury hotel room, SupaExpance Climaclick air conditioning reduces energy consumption by up to 10%

14 SupaExpance Daylight Translucent ceilings backlit to create distinct luminous atmospheres. The ability of SupaExpance taut ceilings to transmit light makes it possible to create remarkable environments either by using natural daylight, as in the case of a sky dome, or by using other sources of light which are controlled by variation of intensity, colour variation, time control or sequencing. From the even and efficient lighting of a labratory environment to the technical requirements of an entertainment venue... Daylight says Light! SupaExpance Daylight ceilings transmit more than 80% of the intensity of the light source. This performance makes it possible to create beautiful effects while saving on energy. Back-lighting of all ceilings, whether white or coloured. Integration with partitions, ceilings and any SupaExpance application. Adaptable to tile ceilings, precisely located light sources and control systems. For further information please... click here or contact us for a SupaExpance Daylight brochure SupaExpance Acoustic Excellent reverberation control as part of an acoustic system. The acoustic qualities of a space are fundamental both in a professional context or in a place intended for relaxation. Echoing sounds lead to tiredness, impede communication and alter the sound qualities of music. SupaExpance is the invisible Acoustic solution. A SupaExpance Acoustic ceiling, even without perforations, can improves acoustics, achieving up to a 0.65 NRC. Higher performance, up to 0.95 NRC can be achieved with perforation as small as 0.5mm, being almost invisible.

15 DAYLIGHT Shades of colour, a changing environment and variable intensity are all possible with the SupaExpance Daylight affect. Applied to these walls, SupaExpance creates a space for relaxation thanks to its advanced lighting system. SupaExpance applications in vertical mode are being used more and more by interior design architects. Above: A proven fact is that light creates energy.

16 SupaExpance Bio-Pruf A bacteriostatic and anti-fungal solution When hygiene is a priority, SupaExpance Bio-Pruf is the solution. Specially treated, this special material continuously impedes the development of bacteria and moulds on both surfaces. In accordance with health regulations in force, it is the perfect solution for hospitals, medical laboratories, surgeries, the pharmaceutical and food industries, cleanrooms, catering services and swimming pools. Always be prepared for frequent hygiene inspections! A scientific laboratory, a world giant in the world of chemistry, has perfected the Bio- Pruf procedure. It consists of incorporating a bio stabilising product into the PVC used for the ceiling membrane therefore giving SupaExpance Bio-Pruf anti bacterial and anti fungal qualities. Thanks to its excellent results, confirmed by the Institute Pasteur in Lille, the material has already been used for equipping large numbers of sites where hygiene is overwhelmingly important and where inspections are frequent. During the work it is business as usual... Simplicity of assembly and fitting is one of SupaExpance's greatest advantages. It reflects our particular interest in specific environments such as hospitals, industry, food and agriculture and research. In renovations and extensions there is no need for removing equipment or furniture as there is no dust. As SupaExpance is so quick and clean to install, minimal disruption to workflow is possible.
