Description

Equalite Select is a pressure equalized exterior insulation and finish system. The system, which has been independently tested, consists of a water resistive barrier, mineral fibre insulation with a 10 mm geometrically defined drainage cavity (GDDC), mechanical fasteners, glass fibre reinforcing mesh, continuous vent boards, non-combustible base coats, and a finish texture coat from any one of the available Durex® Architectural Coatings.

Advantages

Totally non-combustible cladding
Pressure equalized (rain screen principle)
Continuous venting at floor lines and horizontal terminations
Vertical orientation of the fibres and drainage channels in the rigid insulation allows for positive drainage
Continuous water resistive barrier (self-sealing)
Simple interfacing with other pressure equalized cladding systems
Continuous High Density thermal barrier
Aesthetic design flexibility
Continuous Insulation CI Factor = 0.70 RSI/in.

Uses

Equalite Select is suitable for use over a wide range of structurally sound substrates and is recommended for use in buildings which require to be of non-combustible construction and pressure equalized cladding.
