What is Hatschek production? This process makes each EQUITONE facade panel unique with an individual fibre cement texture. Most EQUITONE facade materials are through-coloured with a raw, unfinished character. In the 1950s, leading architects such as Walter Gropius pioneered the use of coated fibre cement panels using the ventilated facade (rainscreen) system. Designer Willy Guhl created the famous “loop chair” from 1 piece of fibre cement in 1954. This design still bears witness to the core qualities of the fibre cement base material: thin, light, durable and beautiful. In 1987, Herzog & De Meuron designed the Ricola storage building in Laufen using uncoated fibre cement panels. The resulting shutter facade, which is a reference to the cardboard boxes inside, inspired our company to start the industrial development of raw untreated fibre cement materials.

EQUITONE UK by Etex reposted this
Princess Court – Manchester Shortlisted for Best refurbishment project & Best use of a fibre cement cladding panel with Sylk Exterior Systems LTD We’re proud to see the Princess Court project recognised in this year’s Facade Awards. Princess Court has undergone a transformative cladding remediation, enhancing both its fire performance and visual appeal. The project features 8mm EQUITONE UK by Etex [natura] Cladding Panels in N163 and N073 finishes, expertly fabricated in-house by Gordian Building Solutions to precise specifications. EQUITONE [natura] is a through-coloured fibre cement material with a raw, tactile texture, delivering a refined and contemporary aesthetic. The natural fibre matrix of the panels creates a sophisticated finish that complements the building’s architectural character. Beyond its visual appeal, the cladding provides durability, sound insulation, water resistance, and resilience to extreme temperatures and frost, while being classified in accordance with EN13501-1 achibeing A2-s1, d0. The panels give Princess Court a fresh, contemporary look while improving fire safety, durability, and resilience, creating a high-quality, long-lasting façade. #EQUITONE #Fibrecement #FacadeAwards

Another great project - good luck Gordian Building Solutions!🍀
Wrexham University Shortlisted for Best Use of Fibre Cement Cladding Panels with SITASTRUCT LIMITED and EQUITONE UK by Etex The Wrexham University project demonstrates how material selection and precision engineering can create a façade that is both functional and visually refined. We supplied and fabricated the EQUITONE [natura] fibre cement panels offsite, ensuring exceptional accuracy and consistency throughout. The panels’ crisp detailing and subtle texture complement the surrounding architecture, delivering a contemporary finish with long-lasting performance. A considered, modern façade solution that reflects the university’s progressive character and commitment to quality. #FacadeAwards #EQUITONE #Rainscreen #FibreCement #Architecture

Great project! Good Luck Gordian Building Solutions🍀
University of Central Lancashire – Dentistry Facility | AMS CLADDING LIMITED | EQUITONE UK by Etex [natura] Shortlisted for Best Use of a Fibre Cement System The extension of the Dentistry Facility at the University of Central Lancashire features a smart, modern façade using EQUITONE [natura] in a Charcoal (N073) and Ruby (N359) finish. The colour palette creates a refined contrast that complements the original building while giving the new addition a distinct identity. All panels were cut and routed in-house by Gordian to exact specifications, ensuring precision, consistency and efficiency. Offsite fabrication helped accelerate installation, minimise waste and reduce dust inhalation on site, contributing to a cleaner and safer working environment. #FacadeAwards #EQUITONE #Architecture #Design #UCLan
