Selected for Sistema's new head office in Auckland, the Quintrex 18 system comprises 18mm Structuralboard (high moisture resistant MDF) core faced with a factory applied, high impact resistant laminate. The system is overhead braced by a u-shaped channel headrail and wall channels, and features blade foot mounting. The system meets a Group 3 fire rating.

For installation in the Sistema Plastics offices, designers specified partition doors in Olympia Blue — adding a bold pop of colour, with fascias and dividers in Zincworks. The panels were pre-finished with 2mm ABS edging, matching the colour of the panel face. All hardware and extrusions were fixed with stainless steel fixings.

The Structuralboard panels are 1800mm wide, eliminating the need for joints in most cases. The anodised aluminium blade foot allows for easy cleaning and is fixed to the underside of the fascia panel, thus eliminating any visible fixing points.

Hale Manufacturing offers a seven year guarantee on the Structuralboard panels and a two year guarantee on the hardware and installation. Recommended for low abuse, dry areas the Hale Quintrex 18 Partition System is ideal for use in offices, hotels and shopping centres.

The Hale Quintrex Partition system is also available in 13mm Antimicrobial Compact Laminate for high and low abuse, wet or dry areas such as toilets and showers.
