Architecture has the power to make a lasting positive impression on people, by creating living spaces for them that meet their artistic and functional needs. Protecting them against the risk of fire is a fundamental need.
Why is fire protection so important?
Recent fire catastrophes such as the devastating fire that ripped through a London tower block shows how important the issue of fire resistance and protection is.
Fire protection regulations are much more onerous in high-rise and high-risk buildings. Therefore, more attention must then be paid to the design process of the building and importantly the choice of materials.
As a manufacturer of façade panels, we take our responsibility for resistance to fire very seriously. As such, the fire properties of all EQUITONE façade panels are Euroclass A classified.

What regulation for which building?
Architecture is not only a matter of design, it’s also a matter of security. You have to comply with fire protection regulations when you build a facade.
What does “Euroclass A” mean exactly?
EQUITONE façade panels are classified A2-s1, d0 according to Euroclass system EN 13501-1. Here’s what it refers to concretely.
