Ventilated Facades and Fibre Cement Materials
Gain a deeper understanding into the history and application of fibre cement facade materials with EQUITONE’s CPD presentation. This course delves into the history of fibre cement and uncovers the latest innovations in ventilated facade systems. We outline the different textures, colours and expressive surfaces and also look at the numerous approaches to internal and external design applications through a presentation of completed projects in Australia.

Sustainability and Innovation in Surfaces
The built environment produces a third of the world’s waste. Every year about 100 billion tonnes of raw materials are extracted for use across the buildings and construction sector. Today, it is possible to create products that have a positive impact on the world around us. More sustainable and carbon neutral, with higher percentages of recycled materials and a longer life cycle. Designing for a sustainable future requires architects, designers, and specifiers to look at materials from a more holistic perspective.
