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 1905. 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...

Appearance Through-coloured facade material that accentuates the beauty of fibre cement. Distinct The material encompasses the characteristics of cement, whereas the fibres render its surface textured yet velvety. Aspect The ever-changing atmosphere, gives the material natural subtle shade variations. Thickness 8mm 12mm * The surface may show variations in tone and appearance which adds to the aesthetics of the material.

Ventilated facade Originated in Scandinavia centuries ago, the ventilated facade (rainscreen) technique is now very prominent in areas with demanding climatic conditions. In the rainscreen system, the outer panel deflects rain and solar heat away from the building. The ventilation space allows air to freely circulate behind the panel, creating a well ventilated and comfortable inner building. Versatility The ventilated facade construction principle combines the capability of curtain wall construction with the creative versatility and adaptability offered by traditional building techniques....

A range of fixing systems are available to meet the variety of rainscreen facade materials available from Marley Eternit. Careful choice of product and system will allow any specification to be met. Secret fix systems The fixing method chosen can have a fundamental and dramatic effect upon the final appearance of the facade. Employing a secret fix method will result in a sheer, smooth facade unobstructed by fixings. In practice, many versions of secret fixing exist, including infill or composite panels.

Site bonding The structural bonding system utilises structural adhesive to fix both internal and external cladding panels to a support framework. It will bond panels to either a timber or aluminium framework. Site bonding is limited to application within the temperature range 5°C to 35°C and only in dry weather (check with adhesive manufacturer). Mechanical secret fix In facade applications where a smooth unbroken surface is required, a concealed mechanical fixing system can be used. Hangers are fixed to the rear face of 12mm thick EQUITONE [materia], EQUITONE [natura], EQUITONE [pictura]...

Timber battens An economical method of application for EQUITONE facade panels is that of mounting on a timber framework using rainscreen construction principles. Unless specific fire performance requirements or irregularities to the substrate are encountered (where other adjustable systems are employed), timber battens will provide an economical and speedy installation.
