As in the real product, frame alternatives are all integrated to give architects ful flexibility to design with one system of choice.
Cement, cellulose and mineral materials, reinforced by a visible matrix. Nothing else. EQUITONE fibre cement is a natural composite material that proudly shows its authentic personality. EQUITONE fibre cement exists in very large sheets(up to 3.10m x 1.25m) that are very thin yet have outstanding physical properties. Visible and invisible fixing methods include riveting, screwing and bonding on metal or wood supporting frames.
