Leading architects of our time are exploring and transforming Equitone into remarkable facade designs.
Equitone is a through-coloured facade material designed by and for architects. It offers unparalleled design flexibility and allows for flawless intricate details.
The character of the through-coloured, high density material is result of the raw, untreated texture of the fibre cement base. The highly expressive fibre cement sheets therefore lend the perfect flair to a vivid surface texture or accent design.
Benefits of Equitone Cladding
- Excellent long-term durability
- Non-combustible
- Through-colour material for resistant to scratching and denting
- Unique architectural appeal and several different finish types
- No onsite finishing required
- Low maintenance
- Easy to fabricate and install using proprietary colour-matched rivets
- Proven performance in harsh environments globally
- Very high strength and impact resistance
- Can be cut to any shape and size

The evolution of ETICS through the past decade has been accelerated with advances in both chemical and cold formed lightweight steel engineering. Since the first large commercial project in South Africa in 2009, the ETICS system has been enhanced in every layer.
This building system is nine times lighter, four times faster to construct, and 12 times more thermally efficient than conventional brick construction.
Throughout the facade life-cycle, from design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition, both the materials and processes used are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient.
Ohlhorst Lightweight Building Solutions offers Onyx Solar’s photovoltaic ventilated façade and roof system which provides undeniable aesthetics, great thermal performance, and a new source of free, clean electricity.
Contemporary architecture keeps searching for innovative and energy-efficient materials for façade and roof projects. The electricity generated by the Photovoltaic Glass system can be either injected to the grid, or it can be consumed right in the instant that it is generated. The thermal barrier created can result in energy savings up to 50% of the building´s current demand. Accordingly, both I.R.R. and payback time are unbeatable.
Kalsi fibre cement materials stand for health, durability and quality. The robust material is world-renowned for its straightness, flexibility and ease of installation.
Kalsi ceiling and cladding boards are produced without asbestos fibres and are used as part of a dry construction system in commercial, residential and industrial markets. The calcium silicate fibre cement boards are manufactured using a combination of cement, silica and cellulose which are then processed in an autoclave to ensure greater immediate dimensional stability.
External cladding boards in fibre cement prove to be a great combination of aesthetics and technology, providing a wide range of solutions and each with specific technical properties. Kalsi is a great alternative for smart builders and homeowners who want materials that are light, strong and easy to work with, and enable a faster build.
Benefits of Kalsi Board Cladding
- 100% Asbestos free
- Resistant to termites and other insects
- Can be curved for aesthetic solutions
- Accepts most aesthetic and architectural finishes
- Impact resistant
- Moisture and humidity resistant
- Non-combustive
- Dimensionally stable
- Easy to work and simple to install
- Differing board thicknesses available, allowing flexibility in use
