Equitone, the art of facade
In the urgent quest for new buildings that consume less energy and are more respectful of the environment, every detail counts. EQUITONE, a branch of the Etex Group, helps architects and builders to achieve their goals in this area. The company's façade panels are manufactured in the most environmentally-friendly way possible, and offer effective technical solutions for controlling the thermal performance of the buildings they clad.
AA invites you to take a look at the variety of these panels and their possible uses - different ranges for different constructions.
