Why Choose EQUITONE Fibre Cement Cladding
01
Flexible by design
Through-colour construction enables perforating, cutting, embossing, engraving, and CNC shaping — supporting intricate facade designs across a broad colour and texture range.
02
Non-combustible and tested
Tested to BS8414-2:2015+A1:2017 (BR135 Annex B), AS/NZS 4284, ISO 5660, and E2/VM1 and E2/VM2 — meeting the fire and weathertightness demands of New Zealand projects.
03
50+ year life expectancy
Confirmed by the British Research Establishment, with pre-finished panels requiring no on-site coating and offering long-term resistance to vermin, mould, fungi, and corrosion.
EQUITONE Fibre Cement Overview
Through-colour fibre cement cladding designed by and for architects
EQUITONE High Density Fibre Cement is a mineral composite material consisting of cement, cellulose, and mineral fillers including sand. Its through-coloured construction displays the inner texture throughout each panel — every piece uniquely individual — making it a material that reads as authentic and considered rather than coated or applied.
Suitable for exterior cladding, interior walls, and specialist applications, EQUITONE Fibre Cement can be transformed into numerous shapes and sizes on-site or in workshop, supporting architectural outcomes that would be difficult or impossible with surface-treated alternatives.
