IBS Equalite Select
Prefabricated 100% Non-Combustible Curtain Wall Panelized System for Facade Enclosures of Mid-Rise and Hi-Rise Buildings
Description

IBS Equalite Select combines all of the features of the Durex® IBS Quantum plus the the feature of being 100% Non-Combustible.  As a prefabricated Curtain Wall System it combines all of the durability essentials of environmental separation controls of heat / air / moisture / fire, strength, durability and aesthetics performance features of the EPS Based Durex IBS Quantum Select plus the fire safety of 100% non-combustible components.  Making it the only fully approved code compliant system in its class.   It brings significant advancements to the conventional, architecturally limited, glass, stone or other material curtain walls through a water-managed, pressure-moderated and energy efficient wall system.

Advantages
  • Pre-engineered Lightweight Panel Design
  • Totally Non-Combustible Panel System
  • Pressure Moderated Rain Screen Design
  • Air/Water tight Building Envelope Design
  • Geometrically Defined Drainage Cavity (GDDC)
  • Superior Thermal Performance
  • 1 Hour Fire Rated System ULC W-489
  • 2-Hour Fire Rated System ULC W-485
  • Continuous Insulation - (CI) Factor = 0.76 RSI/in
Uses

IBS Equalite Select is the only choice when non-combustibility is a must, whether by design and / or code requirements.  It provides the best wall solution in a controlled prefabricated approach that guaranties quality control and speed of construction.  Equally applicable for all types of construction, be it institutional, residential, commercial, industrial and/or temporary.  IBS’s lightweight and flexibility make it an ideal solution for applications in high seismic/wind zones.
