AFS LOGICWALL AFS LOGICWALL® Prefabricated AFS endcap stud site installed by AFS LOGICWALL® installation contractor.

AFS LOGICWALL® panels are faced with 6mm fibre cement sheets which, at the completion of the construction process, provide the wall face and substrate for applied finishes and decorating.

The fibre cement sheets incorporate a special water block technology which reduces water penetrating into the sheet (refer to F3 – Waterproofing for more details). This not only assists in reducing water penetration of AFS LOGICWALL® throughout the construction phase of the project, before the final finishing system is applied, but also contributes to the overall durability of the product.

The final finish of AFS LOGICWALL® is influenced by factors such as movement and sheet surface joints, correct alignment of panels at installation stage, joint setting methods and applied finishing system.

The structural concrete wall effectively has control joints at each stud so no additional crack control joints are necessary. Full depth "movement joints" may be required depending on the geometry of the structure and other considerations such as thermal loads, exposure or building joints. In general "movement joints" would not be required for walls less than

There are a number of methods for ensuring that the finished AFS LOGICWALL® meets the user expectations. For best results these should be considered in the planning stages of the project and be clearly set out in specifications.

It is essential for the designers and builders to determine the level of finish required before construction begins otherwise it may not be possible to attain the desired finish level without extensive corrective measures.

For external wall application AFS LOGICWALL® can accommodate a range of external finishing solutions as set out in sections F5 - Finishing and F7 – Cladding Systems.

F3 Waterproofing

For any external façade design applicable to a building, it is essential that the system adopted is capable of withstanding the various environmental conditions which the façade is subject to during its life. In particular the prevention of water ingress into the building is critical.

AFS LOGICWALL® as an external façade, with an applied waterproofing coating performs as a successful barrier to water ingress and has been tried and proven on numerous buildings, many of which are in coastal locations. The system chiefly relies upon the following for waterproofing:

1. Adoption of horizontal slab junction details as recommended by AFS.

2. Appropriate location of flashings, especially to cap exposed parapet walls typically located on the top level of buildings.

3. Correct application of a quality external waterproofing coating system to supplier's specifications.

4. The water resistance of AFS LOGICWALL® itself, incorporating fibre cement facing sheets with water block technology properties.

F7 Finishing Systems Overview

AFS has worked with Dulux AcraTex to design systems that accommodate the specific requirements of the AFS Building Systems and deliver warranted systems for long term performance.

AFS strongly recommend the application of full acrylic, trowel applied texture coat systems, rather than conventional paints, in order to help conceal panel joints and imperfections which would be visible in critical and glancing light conditions. Texture roller applied stipple finishes are suitable where specific attention is given to ensuring a suitable high standard of finishing of base skimcoat is achieved.

AFS do not recommend high cement under render applications.

Responsibilities of Dulux AcraTex

To supply quality facade coating systems and specifications together with technical advice and representation to AFS projects through its Dulux AcraTex support network. Dulux shall also supply all technical back up applicator training and material warranties to ensure optimal performance of the specified coating system.

Materials & Application Warranty

Dulux AcraTex shall provide AFS Systems Pty Ltd and its clients with a material performance warranty for a period of no less than:Ten (10) years from the date of application where a fully recommended Dulux AcraTex coating system is installed as per the Approved Coating Systems Table (Fig 7.5).Fifteen (15) year Warranty may be issued where an additional weatherproofing finish coat of AcraShield or AcraSkin is applied to approved systems.

�

Ten (10) year Extended Warranty may be issued, where after the initial warranty period, re-application of the weatherproofing finishing coat(s) is undertaken with either A craShield of AcraSkin in accordance with appropriate specification relative to the conditions as set out in the Dulux AcraTex Materials and Dulux AcraTex Trained Applicator workmanship warranty.

AFS LOGICWALL® Wall Substrate Installation Standards & Alignments

AFS LOGICWALL panels shall be installed in strict accordance with the AFS Systems Pty Ltd recommendations. Foroptimum finishing system efficiencies, AFS LOGICWALL® panel section alignment shall be true and plumb with maximum alignment variation of +/-4mm. Where tolerances exceed optimum specification, alternate Remedial High Build Coatings System recommendations apply as detailed in (Fig 7.1) and shall be considered variations for contacting purposes. Additionally, it is important to ensure minimum variation of floor to floor alignment together with correct installation of control joints over large area and at floor to floor sections, window or other openings of the structure to allow adequate movement of the building envelope.

Responsibilities of Applicator(s)

The nominated Applicator(s) shall deliver all materials and labour to complete the works to the agreed colour, timeframe and standard in full accordance with the latest data provided by Dulux AcraTex on the AFS Facade coating system.

Substrate: AFS LOGIC WALLTM is an innovative fast track permanent formwork system used as load bearing external and internal wall solutions for both residential & commercial construction. AFS Walling Panels incorporate CSR Cementel Fibre Cement Sheeting – CEMINSEAL WALLBOARD with WATERLOCK technology.

Substrate Preparation: Frame detail and panel fixing must comply with relevant building codes and be in strict accordance with substrate manufactures instructions & recommendations. Dulux AcraTex recommends suitable expansion/contraction relief joints be installed at natural building weak points eg in line with openings (window / doors), at all horizontal multilevels, and at all interfaces of different building construction materials and or as defined by Engineer. All fixings must be noncorrosive, suitable for the exposure condition and be in accordance with substrate supplier recommendations.

Panel Face & Joint Alignment Panel alignment is critical in all lost formwork systems and specific attention must be given to control of joint & sheeting alignment. Ensure that all joints between panelsaccurately align and floortofloor alignment ensures a true and flat plane across the elevation. It is the responsibility of the panel installer to ensure all joints or major imperfections, misalignments are filled and sanded true & flush before applying any coatings system. Remove all surface contaminants such as oil, grease or dirt, dust by hosing suitable detergent /pressure wash before coating.

NOTE :

THIS SYSTEM IS SUITABLE WHERE PANEL ALIGNMENT TOLLERANCES ≤4MM WHERE MAJOR MISALIGNMENT OCCURS, REFER TO ADDITIONAL REMEDIAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PRETREATMENT

Expansion Joints: CJ’s are best treated before the coating system is applied. The use of a PU Poly Urethane ‘paintable’ Sealant incorporating backing rod in strict accordance with the manufacturer recommendation for use on AFS WallTM should be used in all cases. Select a colour that is complimentary to the final Texture colour. Apply Sealant on completion of the panel installation prior to coatings system application.

Important Notes:

Coatings should be applied in full accordance with relative product Technical and Applicational data sheets.This system is recommended where panel misalignment is NOT greater than 4mm. Refer to Remedial Specification recommendations where panel misalignment is greater than 4mm.

Practical spreading rates will vary from quoted theoretical figures depending on substrate porosity, surface roughness, misalignment, overspray losses, application methods and environmental conditions (eg wind).

Protect from rain and frost for 24 hours when apply at the recommended spread rate.Dry times apply to a single coat at recommended spread rate and at 25oC and 50% Relative HumidityAllow longer times under cool, moist, or still conditions and or when applied at high film builds.

Do not apply paint if Relative Humidity is above 85% or temperature is within 3°C of Dew Point.Do not apply if the surface temperature is greater than 40°C or below 10°C, or likely to fall below 10°C during the application or drying period.

When using Bright Reds, Oranges, Blues and Yellows or where very light colours are applied over highly contrasting colours an extra coat maybe required.

At Commencement of coating system application to the substrate it shall be deemed that the Applicator has certified that the surface which it is to be applied to is fit receive the specified coating(s) system.When the Applicator is preparing the site sample for approval he should advise the Project Superintendent if the substrate condition is not of sufficient standard to produce the specified finish.

Where possible avoid dark colours these will give raise to much higher surface temperature that may cause addition thermal stress and cooling demand to the building envelope and/ or require extra engineering considerations(Greater building costs).Consult Dulux on the potential to use InfraCOOL Heat Reflective Coatings that will keep the surface cooler.

The coastal area is considered a marine environment and as such salt potentially can shorten the life of the coating systems. Care needs to be taken to wash down allareas twice. Once to remove surface contaminants, and raise salts to the surface and then secondly to remove these salts. Due to the locality, Weather conditions and lag time between applications of the coating system it may require the need to wash again, between coats.

A DULUX warranty can be provided on request when the full AcraTex system is applied by a DULUX AcraTex trained applicator, according to specification, & at the specified spreading rates, & to the surface preparation details described in the DULUX AcraTex Specification Manual.

The dynamics of the substrate are outside the control of Dulux Australia and as such joint deformation or cracking is excluded from warranty terms. Refer warrantydocument for full terms.

Glancing lightJoints and panel deformation may be clearly evident under glancing light, casting visible shadows of the minute and uneven projections of the joints. Glancing light islight that is nearly parallel to the surface of the wall and casts visible shadows and uneven projections of the joints. Just like rendered masonry/ Jointed system anyuneven projections will be highlighted and as such are outside the control / scope of this specification.

When using this specification, the Applicator shall maintain records in accordance with AS3894 Parts 10, 11 and 12 and others as required by the Project Manager.These records shall be made available for inspection at any time by the Project Manager or authorised representative and submitted to the Principal Contractor upon completion of work.

Substrate: AFS LOGIC WALLTM is an innovative fast track permanent formwork system used as load bearing external and internal wall solutions for both residential & commercial construction. AFS Walling Panels incorporate CSR Cementel Fibre Cement Sheeting – CEMINSEAL WALLBOARD with WATERLOCK technology. Substrate Preparation: Frame detail and panel fixing must comply with relevant building codes and be in strict accordance with substrate manufactures instructions & recommendations. Dulux AcraTex recommends suitable expansion/contraction relief joints be installed at natural building weak points eg in line with openings (window / doors), at all horizontal multilevels, and at all interfaces of different building construction materials and or as defined by Engineer. All fixings must be noncorrosive, suitable for the exposure condition and be in accordance with substrate supplier recommendations. Panel Face & Joint Alignment Panel alignment is critical in all lost formwork systems and specific attention must be given to control of joint & sheeting alignment. Ensure that all joints between panels accurately align and floortofloor alignment ensures a true and flat plane across the elevation. It is the responsibility of the panel installer to ensure all joints or major imperfections, misalignments are filled and sanded true & flush before applying any coatings system.

Remove all surface contaminants such as oil, grease or dirt, dust by hosing suitable detergent /pressure wash before coating.

NOTE : THIS SYSTEM IS SUITABLE WHERE PANEL ALIGNMENT TOLLERANCES ARE ≤4MM

WHERE MAJOR MISALIGNMENT OCCURS, REFER TO ADDITIONAL REMEDIAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PRETREATMENT Expansion Joints: CJ’s are best treated before the coating system is applied. The use of a PU Poly Urethane ‘paintable’ Sealant incorporating backing rod in strict accordance with the manufacturer recommendation for use on AFS WallTM should be used in all cases. Select a colour that is complimentary to the final Texture colour. Apply Sealant on completion of the panel installation prior to coating system application.

F8 Cladding Systems

F9 Durability

AFS LOGICWALL® provides an effective structural substrate for a range of cladding systems such as Vitrabond and CSR Cemintel Territory Series – prefinished fibrous cement composite panel.

Cladding systems such as these offer the building designer greater choice and flexibility when designing with AFS LOGICWALL®. In particular the CSR Cemintel Designer Series offers:

� Unique aesthetic appeal, which is lightweight and durable. � An innovative fixing system, which rapidly reduces

installation time.� A multi layered coating system designed for long lasting

performance� Texture and depth of colour making it suitable for use on

existing brick or fibre cement facades.� Available in a variety of textures and colours.

1. Introduction

The ultimate durability of any building system relies on appropriateness of design and accuracy of construction methodology together with the performance of individual components and compatibility of related components

The durability and longevity of the exterior façade is heavily influenced by the compatibility of the fi nishing and weatherproofing systems with the structural dynamics of the AFS LOGICWALL® fibre cement faced, solid masonry core, panelized and flush jointed system.

The exterior façade of AFS LOGICWALL® comprises a fibre cement face incorporating a special water block technology which limits water penetrating into the sheet through the construction phase and provides a stable surface for the installation of the Dulux AcraTex Jointing, Levelling – Texture and Weatherproofing Coatings system.

2. Movement Control

Failure to accommodate for normal masonry expansion and contraction in accordance with design specification will induce excessive joint stress and potential joint cracking and breakdown on the weatherproofing barrier.

For further information on Designer Series Facade systems contact the AFS Sales Office - 1300 727 237.

Best practice defines s uitable e xpansion/contraction r elief joints be installed at natural building weak points (eg in line with openings (window / doors), at all horizontal multi-levels, and at all interfaces of different building construction materials) as defined by the engineer.

Flush jointing of panels (other than at defined movement joints) is a critical aspect of the façade system and requires specific attention. Rigid, cementitious jointing or render systems are not recommended and will limit system performance.

3. Weather Proofing

The Dulux AcraTex – AFS LOGICWALL® Coating System conforms to AS4548 Long Life Coatings for Concrete and Masonry.

Long term performance of the Weatherproofing Envelope requires :

� Low water transmission � Adequate crackbridging capability to maintain a continuous

film under dynamic stress resulting from thermal expansion and contraction and normal joint movement� Adequate water vapour permeability to allow for normal

moisture vapour movement preventing vapour pressure from under the film to cause blistering

4. Maintenance

Durability and longevity of the façade system requires periodic inspection and maintenance to identify and correct deleterious conditions.

Inspections should include examination of any abnormal coating staining or water run off concentration, flashings and seals as well as attention to potential moisture issues such as ground water drainage or build up of soils or other wastes against the façade face.

Specific attention should be given to control jointing failure or signs of excess movement which should be repaired immediately to prevent water ingress and potential surrounding coating issues.

Early signs of moulds or mildew (I.e. organic growth) must be addressed to prevent spread of the spoilage. Organic growths occur typically due the presence of excess moisture and nutrient. (I.e. dirt or mould spores deposited on the surface). The applied coating cannot “grow” mould. Identification of organic growth requires correction of contributory issue and cleaning of the surface including a suitable mould-mildew agent.

For optimum aesthetics and to extend system lifecycle, it is recommended to annually wash down the exterior surface using a suitable mild detergent solution and medium pressure wash (i.e. <1000 psi).

5. Extending Lifestyle Performance

Ultimate lifecycle costs of the total façade system are optimised when Dulux AcraTex AcraShield (I.e the specified final weatherproofing barrier coat) is reinstalled after 10-15 years.

Lifecycle analysis confirms a 10-15 year recoating window together with periodic maintenance of the façade system prior to deteriation to be the most effective cycle to deliver optimum performance, aesthetics and cost efficiency.

Dulux AcraTex Systems Warranties can be extended to

form lifecycle warranties on agreement of Maintenance and Recoating processes using full Dulux AcraTex systems.

The "Lifetime Warranty Process" requires inspection, necessary maintenance & cleaning on routine intervals – typically every 5 years (dependant on location and exposure) by a trained applicator and then subsequent re - top-coating prior to the Warranty Expiration with 2 coats Dulux AcraTex Weatherproofing AcraShield or AcraSkin.

At agreed intervals and/or as required relative to building or site issues, any touch ups (areas of stress/damage) are addressed as Preventative Maintenance. Any Preventative Maintenance required (eg cleaning or repairs not deemed coating failure in according with warranty terms) will be contracted at additional cost.

The “Lifetime Warranty Process” maximises the aesthetic and performance attributes of the facade system and minimises potential repair costs of issues not addressed and which may escalate into costly repairs.

Standard Dulux AcraTex Warranty conditions apply including (but not limited to)

1. Dulux AcraTex Specification Approval2. The Applicator shall, prior to commencement of the works,

submit to Dulux AcraTex the required Warranty RequestForm & secure a project "G" number signed by anauthorised Dulux officer.

3. At the completion of the works the Applicator shallconfirm system installation to specification / Duluxrecommendation, and request the relevant Dulux AcraTexWarranty Document for their client, and submit alignedworkmanship warranties confirming installation tospecification

4. All warranties shall be contingent on the substrate onwhich the coatings system is applied maintains a standardmeeting all building code standards and statutoryrequirements having suffered no deterioration leading topremature coating failure.
