EQUITONE panels are installed to the ventilated rain screen principle, allowing air to flow in through the base and out at the top with a minimum 30 mm ventilation gap from the back of the panel to the structure/ insulation. EQUITONE is installed with 8–12 mm open joints and can be installed onto timber battens or a metal framing system in a range of designs. It is recommended that you consult the manufacturer's literature or technical team for further installation information.

Recyclability

-

Manufacturer guidance

With an expected lifetime of 50 years or more, EQUITONE panels often outlast the building lifetime. They are designed for disassembly with reversible fixation systems, allowing reuse in facade cladding or other applications. 


All EQUITONE waste generated in the production phase is recycled in material loops, such as transportation to the cement kiln, where it is reactivated.
