We have invested NOK 140 million in new machinery and equipment in order to improve efficiency and reduce our overall energy consumption. In 2017 we completed a major rebuild and replacement of production equipment, which has resulted in energy savings per square metre along with increased production volumes. We also improved logistics at the plant to reduce the distance the materials have to travel. Fibo is working continuously on both minor and major projects to improve our processes and reduce our environmental impact. Our annual ESG report also provides information about what we are doing to reduce energy consumption, improve waste disposal and encourage a circular economy.

" open="no" class="" id=""] Fibo is very new to Australia and we are looking for new places to display the Fibo System. Currently the Fibo System can be inspected at the Home Ideas Centre in Oakleigh and in Sourcecorp’s Collingwood office. Watch this space as new Fibo displays are established, which will be shown on the Sourcecorp website. [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Is it possible to receive product samples and décor swatches? " open="no" class="" id=""] Yes, Sourcecorp holds décor swatches and samples of the aluminium profiles. These can be sent by Australia Post or collected from Sourcecorp’s office. Sourcecorp may request a small packaging and postage fee for sending samples. If a package and postal fee have been charged this will always be credited to a client’s next order. [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Where are FIBO panels used? " open="no" class="https://fibosystem.com.au/wp-admin/post.php?post=338&action=edit#" id=""] In households, Fibo panels are primarily used in bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, powder rooms, garages and sometimes in high traffic areas where a robust wall finish is beneficial. Fibo also has been used in many commercial applications such as shop fitouts including as a display prop, in public wash rooms, schools, aged care and other health service buildings where cleanliness and hygiene are paramount. The panels are ideal in transportable and pre-fabricated modular buildings or bathroom PODs, because they are economical and unlike tiles they won’t pop-out or crack during transportation. [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Can the Fibo System be used in areas of extreme heat and/or humidity? " open="no" class="" id=""] Fibo is not suitable for saunas, steam rooms or as a surround to a pool. The heat and presence of harsh chemicals like chlorine mean that installations in these areas cannot be warranted. [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Can Fibo be used outdoors? " open="no" class="" id=""] Although constructed from marine grade plywood, which is designed for external use, Fibo panels are intended for use in-doors. The warranty explicitly excludes outdoor use. [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Can FIBO be use as a splashback?" open="no" class="" id=""] Fibo do offer a splash back product, however this is not currently stocked by Sourcecorp in Australia. Several Australian clients have used the panels as a splashback, particularly in laundries. In some cases, the use as a splashback was an afterthought, whereby panel off-cuts were used for this purpose. In the kitchen, Fibo can be used as a splashback, however it is important to check the building code if installing behind a cooktop. Generally, Fibo can be installed behind electric cooktops (standard type and induction) provided the latent heat does not exceed 80 o C. Regarding a gas cooktop, Fibo cannot be used unless the panel has a fire-rated backing sheet. [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Can different decors be mixed? " open="no" class="" id=""] Yes, any combination of the panels can be mix n’ matched. That’s the beauty of the Aqualock, all panels connect in the same way and are the same thickness. Fibo is often used to create contrasting feature walls or to create a unique visual dynamic in a room by mixing colours and textures. Different tile designs can also be joined together to break up different parts of a room, such as the shower recess from the main bathroom area. We have many clients who have done this. [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Can the panels be extended for very high ceilings?" open="no" class="" id=""] Yes, there are two ways to do this. Fibo can supply a ‘Covering Profile’, which is a two-part aluminium extrusion. Essentially the extrusion forms a ‘H’ shaped lock between the top of the lower panel and the bottom of the extension panel . Refer to this video to see how this works. Panels with a tiled effect can be extended by creating a gap of the same size as the grout line between the lower and upper panel. Once panels are fixed in place the gap can be caulked with sealant that matches the grout line colour. Refer to this video to see how this works. [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="How do I calculate the correct quantities of Fibo product?" open="no" class="" id=""] In the Fibo Australian Price List there is a page specifically added to help select the correct quantities of Fibo product . For a rough estimate the quickest and easiest way is to first measure the lineal meterage of walls that are to be covered with Fibo panels and divide this by 0.6. The actual number of panels will depend on the length of each wall, size of door opening and any windows, whether the panels are to be extended and the number of different décor types. This may require a little bit of planning to calculate correctly. Quantities of other products will dependent on the room shape. Again, as a rough guide: Profiles: Calculate based on the lineal meterage for the base and cap profile then divide by 2.3m; and By the number of internal and external corners. Sealant allow one tube for every two panels. Allow one of each Fibo Clean and Wipes per dozen panels.

Sourcecorp has a list of builders and trades people who have direct experience and are competent in installing the Fibo System. We are always looking to add to this list. As the Fibo System is new to Australia, Sourcecorp is developing a process that ensures Fibo installers have excellent product knowledge, have hands-on experience in installing the Fibo System and are of a standard acceptable to Sourcecorp and Fibo AS. Only tradespeople who successfully complete this process and become accredited installers will be referred or offered installation work by Sourcecorp. Accreditation will involve product introduction, in field training and supervision (particularly on initial installations) and follow up inspections of work. Installations carried out by an Accredited Fibo Installer will be warranted. [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Who can be become an accredited Fibo installer? " open="no" class="" id=""] Anyone with carpentry trade skills, the right attitude and who is looking for a new opportunity. To be an accredited installer requires a candidate to achieve Sourcecorp’s required level of proficiency, have a positive attitude and carry a sense of pride in their work. While it is desirable to have carpentry experience this is not essential as Sourcecorp may be able to assist would-be installers by teaming them with an experienced hand while they develop their skills. Contact Sourcecorp if you wish to discuss becoming an installer; we are always looking for more good people to join us. [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="What preparations are required to install the FIBO system?" open="no" class="" id=""] Preparation works may include demolition, framing, roughing in plumbing and electrical, fixing windows and completing the floor and ceiling. Vertical surfaces or studwork should be flat, plumb and dry. Although the panels are waterproof it is suggested that the floor wall junction and up to 150 mm above the floor level be sealed with a waterproofing membrane. Fibo panels should be allowed to season for three days under the same roof that they are to be installed. All Fibo products must be inspected prior to installation to ensure there are no visible faults or defects. Should you note a product defect then contact Sourcecorp as soon as possible. Do not install any defective product. [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="What is the best way to install the FIBO System?" open="no" class="" id=""] This largely depends on what substrate is available in the room. The Fibo System is designed to be fitted directly onto the building’s stud frame work; this is the cheapest and quickest way. However, it can be just as easily fitted over existing wall sheets, such as Gyprock ®, Villaboard® or other types of cement or fibre sheeting. As to the best form of installation: For a new build then install directly onto the framework of the room. This will save time and money. Fibo profiles and panels are designed to be fixed in place using screws. For renovation works, then the best type of installation will depend on whether existing walls are being maintained or removed. If the substrate is sound, then the Fibo System can be glued and screwed to the wall. The installation instructions show various methods for fixing the Fibo System. Sourcecorp will always be available to discuss any type of project. [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Can the FIBO system be installed onto Gyproc, fibre cement sheet or other wall sheeting products?" open="no" class="" id=""] Yes, the Fibo System can be fitted directly onto existing or new wall sheeting. We would always recommend mechanical fixing, using screws, in the first instance. However, should this not be possible or practical and, provided your walls are sound and straight, you can use adhesive to install the Fibo System. [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Can the Fibo system be installed over existing wall tiles?" open="no" class="" id=""] Yes, panels can be fixed to an existing tiled wall to provide a fast and cost effective update. That stated, it is important that the underlying tiles are sound, and the wall is properly prepared. First check for any bulging, loose or ‘drummy’ tiles. A drummy tile can be detected by gently tapping the centre of a tile with a solid object. If the tile sounds hollow (drum-like) when tapped, then it means the adhesive holding the tile to the wall is compromised. The tiled wall should also be assessed for moisture behind the tiles and any mould infestation. If the tiled surface displays any of the issues noted above, then these need to be resolved before installing the Fibo System. If the tiled surface is sound, then preparation before installing the Fibo system consists of: Removing any fixtures; Roughing up the tile surface to provide a key for the adhesive; Thoroughly cleaning the tiles and removing any defective or soiled sealant; and Ensuring the tiles and substrate are completely dry. Sourcecorp recommends Soudal High Tack adhesive for fixing panels over tiled walls. Save [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Is a waterproof membrane required? " open="no" class="" id=""] The Fibo panel is waterproof and therefore does not need any backing sheet or a waterproof membrane. It is however recommended that when the floor is being waterproofed that the membrane be extended up the wall from the floor/wall junction by 100 – 150mm. If using a vinyl sheet on the floor then by coving the sheet up the wall by 50mm higher than the base of the panel, then no membrane is required. [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="What are the best adhesives & sealants to use with Fibo?" open="no" class="" id=""] We recommend using a high tensile strength waterproof adhesive such as Soudal ‘Fix All’ with Fibo panels. This is available from Sourcecorp and can also be purchased from most Mitre 10 stores. One 290ml tube of Fix All should be enough to fix two standard panels. Fix All is not volatile, almost odourless and safe to use indoors. A hybrid polymer waterproof sealant should be used to seal all joints and edges and we recommend ‘Fibo Seal’ or Soudal ‘Soudaseal 215LM’. This is available from Sourcecorp in white or grey to match panel or grout-line colours. The above products are flexible, almost odourless and will create a good bond to the laminate of the panel. Using this product should reduce the need for maintenance or replacement of the sealant. We do not advise using silicone as the sealant because it does not bond as well to the laminate and can degrade quickly increasing replacement intervals. MSDS for the above products can be found on our web site. [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Can a niche be installed? " open="no" class="" id=""] This is a popular request and several clients have installed a niche within the panels. This has been done by using a preformed niche, which can be purchased from tile suppliers or retail outlets like Bunnings, Mitre 10 or Tradelink. The panel cut out is then used as the backing of the niche to match the wall panel. Aluminium profiles can be used to frame the niche and assist in waterproofing (if required) at the point where the niche connects to the external face of the panel. Sourcecorp and Fibo are currently developing an inhouse niche that works specifically with the wall panels. [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Can wall mounted fixtures be fixed to the Fibo Panel?" open="no" class="" id=""] Yes, fixing hardware items to Fibo is very easy and fast. Other than pre-drilling a small pilot hole, items can be fixed using a wood screw. Fixing items onto Fibo wall panels takes away the concern of cracking a tile. Items such as towel rails, toilet roll holders, shower shelves and robe hooks don’t need any backing support. With a decent wood screw the panels will hold these types of fixings. It is recommended that additional noggins or studs be added to support heavy items such as wall mounted (free-standing) washbasins or grab rails given these are designed to support significant weight. When screwing through the laminate surface, ensure that all fixtures are sealed where screws penetrate the panel. [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Other than panel installation can you help with other works? " open="no" class="" id=""] That largely depends on the nature of the work. We receive a lot of requests from people wanting to undertake a renovation of a room in their house. In some cases, these people have not engaged their own builder to co-ordinate the works because they are still at the planning stage. Sourcecorp is building an accredited list of independent Fibo installers with each installer having a differing range of trade skills. The degree that each can undertake extra works will depend on their availability due to other projects they are committed to do and the requirements of the project. Sourcecorp is happy to provide contact details of our installers and leave any discussions regarding the scope of works to the client and the installer.
