Equitone
Equitone are fibercement panels manufactured by Belgian based multinational Etex Group, the world leader in its field. Equitone panels are environment friendly being made only from cement, cellulose and mineral raw materials. For air-cured fibrecement panels synthetic organic fibres made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) are used as reinforcing fibres.
Available in size 2500×1220 mm and 3050×1220 mm in 8 and 12 mm thickness respectively for visible and invisible fixing.
Equitone panels are offered in several finishes:
EQUITONE [tectiva] is a through coloured panel with no coating. As the panel has an honest, pure and natural appearance colour differences are possible. The surface of the sheet is characterised by fine sanding lines and white spots. The rear receives no back-sealing coating. The board receives a hydrophobation which prevents moisture ingress into the core of the panel.
EQUITONE [natura] is a through coloured base board, with semi-transparent coloured finish which results in the structure of fibre cement material shining through. The finished panel is both weatherproof and UV-stable. Irregularities, differences in shade and traces of the manufacturing process are to be expected. The rear receives a transparent back-sealing coating.
EQUITONE [natura pro] is a through coloured base board with semi-transparent coloured finish which results in the structure of fibre cement material shining through. A PU top-coat which is UV hardened is applied to produce a hard surface finish which offers scratch resistant and “anti graffiti” protection for most kinds of vandalism. The finished panel is both weatherproof and UV-stable. Irregularities, differences in shade and traces of the manufacturing process are to be expected. The rear receives a transparent back-sealing coating.
EQUITONE [pictura] is a coloured facade panel. The surface is smooth, matt, with double layer acrylic coating and a UV hardened PU top-coat (front side) to produce a dirt resistant finish. This finish makes a hard surface, scratch resistant and “anti graffiti” protection for most kinds of vandalism. The rear receives a transparent back-sealing coating.
EQUITONE [textura] is a coloured facade panel. The surface has a grainy (orange peel) structure, with double layer acrylic coating, fillite filling and a hot-film sealing top-coat (front side) to produce a dirt resistant finish. The rear receives a transparent back-sealing coating.
Recently Equitone launched two new finishes, MATERIA with a structured rough effect and LINEA with ribs and grooves running along the surface to create harmonic light and shade effects.
EQUITONE [linea] is a unique 3D shaped, through-coloured facade material that plays with light and shadow. The linear surface highlights the raw inner texture of the core fibre cement material. Every moment of the day, the changing angle of the daylight gives the facade material a different aspect.
EQUITONE [lunara] is a through colored panel. The surface of the panel is characterized by a randomized textured finish that is unique to EQUITONE [lunara]. The two color shades accentuate the authenticity of the material. The panel receives a hydrophobation that makes the panel water repellent.
