The Custom Softclosing Sliding Wardrobe is here.

The discerning client knows that there is a large discrepancy in the quality, style and look of the basic sliding wardrobe and a hidden track system that looks good but also closes silently and smoothly, like the door of an expensive car.

Creativ by Smartpack have now made this a reality using the Hettich Top Line 22 track system with soft closers. The wardrobe is a complete carcase which is totally customisable and can be made with 2 doors up to 2400mm wide by 2400mm high and with 4 doors to 4800mm wide.

The Hettich Innotech softclose drawers are used where drawers are requested and adds to the overall appeal of this sliding robe. The doors are 16mm gloss or velvet melamine with or without mirror or milky glass inserts or sprayed in polyurethane. The doors are 30mm off the floor and the track is invisible top and bottom when closed and no bottom track is visible inside the robe.

The installation of the track requires a tradesperson or carpenter or an experienced handy person or Creativ will do the installation for you.The wardrobe 2400mm wide has a price range of between $2500 and $6000 depending on options and door styles chosen.

Here is a video showing the operation of a Softclose wardrobe.

Wear Resistant Laminate used in the standard range benchtops

Laminates are not all scuff resistant and environmentally preferable laminate.

This is why Smartpack has chosen a laminate with double the wear resistance performance for the standard range benchtops.

Introduced more than two decades ago, ARP is one of the most significant improvements in the performance of high pressure decorative laminates.  The armored protection surface is engineered using aluminium oxide particles blended with clear resins.  Together they form a protective layer that allows objects to slide over the laminate surface as if they were on ball bearings.

Unlike other laminates using overlays that cloud the design, ARP’s patented process always allows the subtlety and depth of the decorative paper to show through.  This dramatic clarity isn’t compromised by the surface protection during the serviceable life of the laminate.
Why Aluminum Oxide?
Aluminum oxide is harder than common everyday objects, protecting laminates against the wear caused when those objects slide across the surface.  Yet, aluminium oxide is softer than silicon carbide or diamond which are commonly used in making cutting tools and blades.
Armored Protection keeps laminates looking new longer in the following ways:

It protects the laminate’s color by reducing surface wear caused by common abrasive substances such as sand (silica) particles present in dirt, dust, paper bags an

d boxes.  Standard industry wear  resistance tests (NEMA LD3) show armored protection outlasts conventional laminates.

It reduces gloss change (dulling and buffing).

HI-MACS solid surface is developed by LG Hauys, is a world leader in manufacturing technology, made for seamless installation. HI-MACS is different from traditional decorative surfacing products, as it is non-porous and easy to clean, impact resistant and repairable.

This makes HI-MACS the perfect choice for:

• Kitchen benchtops and splashbacks

• Vanity tops

• Integrated sinks, baths and shower units

• Interior wall cladding

• Commercial food preparation areas

• Retail/ Reception counter tops

• Laboratory benchtops


Extend the life of your benchtop

Commercial developers, designers, builders and renovators alike are upgrading to HI-MACS. Unlike laminate and stone and granite the advanced acrylic resin technology used in the manufacturing process of HI-MACS allows for the product to be repaired if it is scratched or chipped.

Design freedom

The unique seamless invisible joining system of HI-MACS gives you total design freedom. HI-MACS offer the beauty and elegance of stone surfaces without the disadvantages such as porosity or lack of flexibility.

HI-MACS can be cut into any shape and it can be manufactured to achieve the sharpest lines or the softest curves. It offers infinite possibilities with a wide variety of the edge treatments and inlays sink mounting options, invisible joins and coved splashbacks that eliminate water penetration.

 

Easy to clean

Unlike other surfaces HI-MACS does not absorb spillages or food odours that may occur during daily use, leaving surfaces hygienically clean for the life of the benchtop. It can be cleaned simply with warm water and a non-abrasive household cleaner. HI-MACS is so hygienic that it is officially certified as being suitable for contact with food.*

 

*HI-MACS is recognised by NSF International as complying with ANSI/NSF51 and is LGA 5631227 hygiene tested.
