tiled showers made easy A new solution from Atlantis removes the challenge of fitting a channel drain into a timber floor, or into any flooring structure where there are unacceptable risks of water leakage. The one-piece Linea Quattro tile-over shower base and integrated channel drain is designed to achieve a level-access shower floor – in most cases without the need for cutting into the joists. Moulded from rigid GRP composite, the Linea Quattro shower base is already 100% waterproof, comes in multiple sizes for common showering spaces, and fits easily into an existing floor cavity once the surface flooring is removed. Not having to separately form and screed the shower floor saves time and money, not to mention a major headache, for most builders. And it also takes care of waterproofing in the most critical risk area of the shower. Once fitted the shower base is immediately ready to tile. Because the drain is located discreetly at the side or back, tiling is a breeze and opens up the option for using larger format tiles which can be fixed in a single plane. No more unsightly cuts to the centre and fewer grout lines make a much cleaner finish for the shower floor. Atlantis is so confident of the durability of its one-piece shower base that it offers a 25-year warranty against leaks – a performance guarantee unheard of elsewhere.
The benefits of the Atlantis shower system do not stop with the shower base. In keeping with its reputation for bulletproof integrity, add-on components will guarantee the structure and waterproofing of the entire shower area. Atlantis offers 2120mm high frameless glass screen options in a choice of sliding door, hinged door or fixed panel (walk-in) configurations. By purchasing the system as a base and screens package, it is possible to create a stunning new frameless shower in a matter of hours.

What you really need to know About Polystyrene EIFS- Lightweight Cladding Systems.
At Dulux AcraTex we’ve been designing specialist finishing systems for new construction for over three decades protecting some of Australia‘s landmark architecture and infrastructure projects and working with Substrate Supply Partners to deliver total piece of mind with appropriate coatings specifications. Traditional masonry construction has stood the test of time and supported by dedicated trades continues to be valued in the building industry. Increasingly however, the need for Flexibility of Design and Energy Efficiency push designers and builders to seek faster more efficient systems particularly in residential construction. External Insulating and Finishing Systems (EIFS), long established in Europe and America are now being recognised in Australia for their benefits, however their ultimate success relies heavily on a clear understanding of the dynamics of the substrate (ie the Expanded Polystyrene Foam “EPS”), its requirements for coating to ensure long term durability and the Integrated nature of design and installation responsibilities.
How does Dulux AcraTex fit into the EIFS market? EIFS is not new to AcraTex - in fact as a founder in the acrylic texture market over 30 years ago, AcraTex was a pioneer in the use of EIFS systems designing and installing systems specifically for Insulation benefits as originally used in Europe. AcraTex Exsulite has been a brand of Dulux for over 25 years.
What experience tells us: 1. Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) requires specialist “Base Coats” to provide long term adhesion and durability. Beware of suppliers/ installers using Cement Renders or even their labelled “Acrylic Renders”. Expanded foam requires a high polymer base coat for adhesion - much higher than most “Acrylic Renders” 2. Cavity Drainage is critical in ensuring stability of the facade. This is Best Practice Design for traditional construction and is equally applicable in any Lightweight Cladding System. 3. Integration of design, components and installation is required to ensure “as built” meets design specification Lightweight Cladding Systems are able to be installed by a broader installer base (vs traditional masonry). In the BCA their use is classified as an Alternate Solution requiring validation. CodeMark certification is an acceptable approach, however it is important that Certification cover the full aspects of the relevant BCA requirements and that Installation is controlled to ensure full compliance. 4. Rigid, cement based renders and paint systems are unsuitable to maintain a weatherproofing envelope. Lightweight Cladding Systems (EIFS or FC) require Flexible Acrylic Texture and Elastomeric Topcoats to accommodate normal expansion and contraction. You can trust Dulux AcraTex to deliver a reliable fully integrated system The Exsulite Thermal Facade System by Dulux AcraTex provides total confidence • Fully BCA compliant, design to installation • Dulux Registered and Trained Installer Network • Performance Warranted
For more information contact: Phone: 1300 662 841 Website: www.exsulite.com.au
How the fully integrated Exsulite system prevents typical cladding problems Over recent years the use of Lightweight Cladding Systems, as Alternate Solutions in the BCA, has grown but proper system design and installation has not always followed. The BCA requires appropriate design and installation controls to qualify any Alternate Solution and ultimate success requires a total systems approach integrating design, componentry and installation. The Exsulite Thermal Facade system protects builders and their clients from the risks of mixed componentry and uncontrolled installation. Exsulite by Dulux AcraTex offers a Single Supply Source for the Total Facade System - cladding to Weatherproofing Finish, incorporating Best Practice Cavity Design, and critically installation of the CodeMark Certified System by registered and trained Exsulite installers.

Escea releases revolutionary new gas fireplace The DX1500 is an exciting new addition which sets new standards in the luxury fireplace market. The Escea DX1500 combines 1500mm width flame, up to 10kW of heat at 5 Star efficiency, Heat Ducting Technology, and Escea’s exclusive Smart Heat control system to create the most sophisticated ultra wide fireplace on the market. Just the sheer width of the flame pattern creates a dramatic statement that looks great single sided; but looks even more spectacular with Escea’s double sided see-through option. This product is a world-first, as never before has a gas fireplace been available with an impressive 1500mm wide viewing glass size, whilst also being extremely energy efficient. The DX1500 captures up to 90% of the available heat and returns it back into the room via Escea’s Heat Duct technology. This system ensures this heat travels to the far ends of your room, and you can even duct some of the heat into the hallway to heat the bedroom end of the home. Escea’s Smart Heat intelligent control system, maintains correct heat output, can talk to a home automation system, and even allows remote control of the fire via a smart phone app or the internet.
The DX 1500 uses Escea’s latest powered direct vent flue technology bringing air for the fire from outside the house ensuring that the fireplace will always burn at its optimum. This system allows horizontal flue runs and termination on vertical walls. Like all Escea fireplaces the DX1500 is designed to give the maximum flexibility when planning the look of the room. In addition to the Escea Velo fascia the DX1500 offers a frameless look so a special focal point can be created with the imaginative use of wall materials. The DX 1500 comes supplied with reflective side panels to mirror the flames dancing over the unique Crystalight fuel bed. To further enhance the effect the Crystalight layer may be topped with light Driftwood or dark Birchwood.

A step above the rest Southern Stairs has been manufacturing and installing timber staircases for over 30 years for many different homes. Southern Stairs create a variety of stairs for builders, architects, designers, and private clients. Types of stairs range from simple outside steps off the back deck, to stairs for unit buildings right up to the penthouses. Southern Stairs design and builds timber stairs for - project homes, terrace houses, duplexes as well as for smaller builders and private clients.

With over 30 year’s experience, Southern Stairs has seen a lot of trends come and go. While there are many different styles still around, the current trend seems to be timber stairs with large timber posts as a feature.
The durability and beauty of Australian hardwood timber has made it very popular material for flooring, it is not surprising that clients want to have stairs that match. The most popular option is to have treads, risers and handrails all in hardwood and the rest painted, with sometimes a large post as a feature at the bottom with a hardwood cap on the top.

VW Amorok – uber ute Volkswagen Amarok was christened in the ochre dust of the famous Dakar Rally.
In January 2010, and again in 2011, Amarok demonstrated its power, durability and off-road performance as official support vehicle on the world famous and infinitely challenging Dakar Rally, conquering some of the most testing terrain in the world. From the dry heights of the Atacama Desert to tough mountain passes and demanding sandy stretches, the entire team of Amarok support vehicles successfully completed the trip, helping the Volkswagen Race team win a 1-2-3 podium finish. If proof of engine efficiency was needed, Dakar rules state all vehicles entered for the event, be them race or support, must have a minimum range of 800kms. The range of the Amarok? 1000kms on a single tank. Featuring an 80-litre fuel tank, that works out to an impressive 7.9l/100kms. With a choice of three engine options available, the efficient 340 Nm turbo diesel, the more powerful 400 Nm bi-turbo and the 420 Nm paired with the 8 speed automatic to be released in Australia in conjunction with the single cab model in the second half of 2012, Amarok combines unmatched pulling power and class-leading efficiency from its TDI engine range. The flexibility of the Amarok gives you the choice of three drive systems, allowing you to configure the vehicle to your needs. If your Amarok will spend the majority of its time on the road, specify the 4x2 rear wheel drive format, which when combined

with systems such as EDL, ESP and ASR makes it a more-thancapable load lugger. If you anticipate spending more time on slippery surfaces where traction is harder to find, the selectable 4MOTION all-wheel drive system will make light work of difficult slopes. When combined with other systems such as ESP, ASR and Hill Descent Assist, 4MOTION means Amarok will take you wherever you need to go. Combining the comfort and quality of Volkswagen passenger vehicles and the durability and practicality of our commercial vehicles, the new Amarok is a seamless blend of form and function. Capable of comfortably seating 5 adults, the spacious interior is made up of smart and durable materials, designed in a simple layout for driver and passenger. Dependant on the specification, the new Amarok comes with a host of exterior features designed to reflect its on road and off road capabilities. A range of front bumpers reflect the model, from robust and durable to colour coded, with chrome highlights and additional under body design elements. A heavy duty rear bumper is available on Trendline, the perfect no-nonsense finish for your Amarok, or for Highline and Ultimate the Amarok comes specified with a stylish chrome bumper with integrated step for easier loading and access. With the widest load tray in its class, the new Amarok
Transport
can pretty much swallow anything. The whopping 1,222mm between the wheel arches makes it the only dual-cab ute in Australia that can accommodate a full-size pallet. Add to that the well-positioned lashings located conveniently around the load space, the integrated light above the rear window to illuminate the tray and the fact that the tough tailgate can cope with loads up to 250kg, and the Amarok will take the brunt of the most extreme workloads. With an array of safety systems as standard, the new Amarok remains stable in any situation and earns its 5 STAR ANCAP rating. ESP (Electronic Stabilisation Program), featuring Brake Assist, is one such system that keeps the Amarok on the right track. The system constantly monitors and evaluates data from all four wheels, and applies braking force where necessary to help prevent the vehicle swerving in critical conditions. The Brake Assist works in conjunction with the ESP and kicks in when the system recognises heavier than normal braking. It automatically applies extra braking pressure, which in combination with other systems such as ABS brings the Amarok to a safe and controlled stop. Unique for its class, the ESP system remains active even when the Amarok is operated in 4x4 High mode.

More than just render... When specifying a new project, insist on FLEXIBLE ACRYLIC TEXTURE, not just painted cement render.
The AcraTex® 3-step coating system Suitably prepared masonry substrate (refer to AcraTex® system guides for detail)
AcraTex® AcraPrime Tm
®
The AcraTex 3 step system encapsulates the walls in a membrane envelope acting as a barrier against adverse weather conditions for years longer than cement render.
More than just a “first coat” AcraPrime TM consolidates the substrate providing a stable base for long term integrity.
AcraTex® CoventryTm (Range) High Build Acrylic Texture 50 times thicker than paint, providing feature style and Acrylic Texture durability with colour integrated throughout.
AcraTex® Acrashield® Elastomeric Barrier coat protection 4 times thicker than paint – AcraShield® is the system lock that ensures maximum resistance to the elements and extended system life cycle.
Available across the full Dulux® Exterior colour range.
The AcraTex System with it’s flexible Acrylic Texture coating guards against degradation. Ordinary cement render is hard and brittle leading to typical problems like these. CRACkIng
Cement shrinks as it hardens & expands/contracts with temperature change.
