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.

Available ranges

  • Tectiva (TE00, TE15, TE20, TE85, TE90) — raw, textured through-colour surface in stock finishes.
  • Lines (LT20) — linear texture for horizontal or vertical expression.
  • Natura — natural raw fibre cement appearance.
  • Pictura — printed surface with design flexibility.
  • Lunara — refined smooth finish.
