"Exterior Max-on-top is a tough material manufactured from fillets of natural fibre and synthetic resins, which are coated with an acrylic PUR resin. The panels, which are suitable for any exterior applications, are available in ninety pre-finished decor styles and format sizes of up to 7.59m²," says Gibbons.
The panels are weather, UV, scratch, solvent and impact resistant, and impervious to frosts and heat. The are also free from heavy metals, easy-to-install on EuroFox rainscreens, and ecologically sound.
Max Alucompact, another Composite Insulation product, was chosen as the opaque canopy element at Vector Arena because of its high flexural strength.

THE BEST way to keep future maintenance costs to a minimum is to use high-quality, weather-resistant materials and install them with exact attention to detail. Embracing superior new products and technology is also a way to achieve win-win outcomes for all parties involved in a project.
At the Vector Arena, Insite Aluminium was chosen to install the EuroFox Facade Technology and the Exterior Max-on-top and Max Alucompact panels that give the arena its distinctive look. It was the company's demonstrated capability on complex facades, such as the Sky Tower, Vero Tower and NRM Tower, that made it an obvious choice, says the company's director, Jonathan Calder.
"The Vector Arena project allowed Insite Aluminium to demonstrate its capability as a proactive facade contractor through the development of specific installation techniques and quality control systems that are unique to rainscreen exteriors," he says.
