Good design makes a difference. The difference between art and ordinary. Between comfort and inconvenience. Between waste and efficiency. Working with industry experts, EQUITONE is rethinking how materials are designed and used to reduce waste and prevent negative outcomes from being created in the first place.

Introducing the new EQUITONE [inspira], a high density fibre cement panel with a digital printed surface that is smooth, matte and resistant to UV radiation. Complete with a high dirt and abrasion resistant surface, the panels are anti-graffiti and allow for bespoke decor and design. Made of water, Portland cement, cellulose and natural materials, the panels are perfect building blocks for a circular construction industry. They are:

• Recyclable
• Low maintenance
• Lightweight
• Durable (+50 years)
• Low material usage/m²
• Modular

Discover the five ranges of EQUITONE [inspira]. Offering multiple colour options and finishes in wood, rust, stone, concrete and nature inspired graphic design, be surrounded by a world of unlimited visual versatility. Created with and for architects, the design possibilities are endless. 

The panels have been created with long term use in mind, and will not discolour or fade, even in continuous exposure to harsh UV rays or extreme temperatures between -50˚C to 85˚C. Other benefits include:

• Non-combustible (no fire ignition, no fire spread)
• Provides thermal and acoustic insulation
• Resistant to extreme temperatures and frost
• Water resistant 
• Resistant to many living organisms (fungi, bacteria, insects, vermin, etc.)
• Resistant to many chemicals
• No harmful gas emissions
• Strong, rigid panels

Installation of EQUITONE [inspira] on a ventilated rainscreen cladding system or rear-ventilated curtain wall façade allows the entire wall to breathe. By allowing air to circulate behind the panels, the risk of condensation build-up is significantly reduced, thereby creating a safer and healthier building environment. Ventilated façade systems also protect against environmental forces and address the challenge of heat loss through the integration of external insulation and a ventilated air gap. This combination not only combats the “cold wall” effect, but also enhances thermal comfort by creating spaces that remain cool in the summer and warm in the winter. This ensures consistent comfort throughout the year.

Attached with a stress-free proprietary fixing system, the panels allow specifiers to bring their design ambitions to life. Whether the vision calls for a striking façade or a bespoke design, with EQUITONE [inspira], the only limit is your imagination.

EQUITONE [inspira] panels are available in a thickness of 8mm, width of 1250mm and length of 2500 - 3100 mm.
