2 EQUITONE fibre cement facade materials When Ludwig Hatschek invented fibre cement in the late 19th century, he combined the basic elements of the earth: mineral materials, water, air and fire (heat) in a simple filtration process. He named the resulting material Eternit, hinting at the superior durability of this new material. Our mother company, Etex, has been manufacturing fibre cement materials since The most prestigious incarnation in this proud heritage of unique materials is the EQUITONE facade material range. The Hatschek production process makes each EQUITONE facade panel unique with an individual fibre cement texture. Most EQUITONE facade materials are not treated with covering colour coatings and give the equitoned, or through-coloured, materials a raw, unfinished character. In the 1950s leading architects such as Walter Gropius pioneered the use of coated fibre cement panels using the ventilated facade (rainscreen) system. Designer Willy Guhl created the famous loop chair from 1 piece of fibre cement in This design still bears witness to the core qualities of the fibre cement base material: thin, light yet indestructible and beautiful. In 1987, Herzog & De Meuron designed the Ricola storage building in Laufen using uncoated fibre cement panels. The resulting shutter facade, which is a reference to the cardboard boxes inside, inspired our company to start the industrial development of raw untreated fibre cement materials. Today, EQUITONE has a full range of through-coloured, untreated fibre cement materials. Leading architects of our time are exploring and transforming the EQUITONE material in remarkable facade designs.

No matter what facade design options you explore, the through-coloured materials can be transformed into crisp, monolithic facade details. EQUITONE facade materials come in a maximum panel size of 1.

4 Design potential EQUITONE facade materials offer unparalleled design flexibility. The fibre cement material is through-coloured, which means the surface displays the inner texture and colour of the core eternit material. No matter what facade design options you explore, the through-coloured materials can be transformed into crisp, monolithic facade details. EQUITONE facade materials come in a maximum panel size of 1.25 x 3m (4 x 10 ) and can be transformed into any size or shape using standard tools in the workshop or on site. The material can be perforated using waterjet or CNC machines, large or very small cuts can be made, it can even be embossed and printed. Some designers have used it for interiors or furniture. The equitoned or through-coloured material allows you to achieve flawless intricate details. Arch.: AR-TE, Leuven, Belgium Arch.: Regina Schineis, Augsburg, Germany

6 EQUITONE, ventilated facade Originated in Scandinavia centuries ago, the ventilated facade (rainscreen) technique is now very prominent in areas with demanding climatic conditions. This rainscreen system, also known as exterior wall cladding, is composed of two parts, namely an inner structure coated with an outer protective skin. The outer panel deflects rain and heat of the sun away from the building. The ventilation space allows air to freely circulate behind the panel, creating a well ventilated and comfortable inner building. Efficiency and durability EQUITONE cladding solutions have significant advantages and contribute to respecting requirements in standards: elimination of thermal bridges, reduction in the impact of direct solar radiation, reduction of structural movements, evacuation of moisture and resistant to mould and fungi, prevention of condensation inside the building. Aesthetics and comfort EQUITONE panels clad the building structure and define its character. They can emphasise the architectural outline of a project or make it blend into its environment, depending on choices made. In renovation, this solution assures the inhabitable area is not reduced, and the occupants are not inconvenienced during the work. The ventilated facade makes occupants much more comfortable while providing a more healthy living space. Temperature variations are minimised: in winter, the ventilated facade retains heat inside the building and prevents outside air from cooling the supporting structure. in summer when the outside temperature is high, it avoids residual heat due to ventilation of the air gap. Attachment system Attachments may be visible to highlight the modularity of facades, or they may be discreet and reinforce the material effect, being completely concealed using the Tergo invisible attachments system.
