Architecture is the art that shapes our surroundings, influencing our experiences and emotions throughout our lives. From childhood to our golden years, the built environment plays a vital role in our journey. One crucial aspect that often goes unnoticed is the design of a building’s façade. As we move through different stages of life, the workplaces and commercial spaces we encounter become integral to our daily existence. Among the many materials and options available, EQUITONE stands out as a company that truly cares—crafting exceptional experiences and spaces that leave a lasting impact, and demonstrating how thoughtful architecture can shape not just buildings, but brand stories as well.

We’re excited to announce our recent collaboration with leading UK building materials producer, Glidevale Protect. Together, we’re providing an innovative system solution designed to strengthen offerings for housebuilders, specifiers, and offsite manufacturers.

Every Superglass product now contains THINKTECH. But THINKTECH isn’t just a clever new ingredient. It’s a whole new approach.

In any building, fire safety is of paramount importance. It’s crucial that architects, specifiers, and installers know how the insulation they put into a building will react in the event of a fire. And is even more important for occupants to have confidence in the materials used in their homes.

Etex’s financial performance at half-year shows significant resilience in a construction environment still largely depressed and marked by unpredictability. Compared to the first half of 2024, the company posted stable sales volumes, sustained healthy margins and improving operational performance. The results are consistent with Etex’s expectations for the period.

Insulation in complex areas such as cavity walls, partition walls, or suspended ceilings presents significant challenges in any construction or renovation project. PUREFLOC, URSA’s white blowing wool solution, stands out for its flexibility and its ability to adapt to these hard-to-reach areas, ensuring even coverage and continuous insulation while delivering outstanding thermal performance. 

A better quality of life, lower operating costs, and an active contribution to climate protection.

In today’s context, resource optimization and sustainability are essential for the success of any project—especially in energy-intensive sectors like construction. Logistics, often overlooked, plays a key role in the efficiency and sustainability of a building project.

Energy costs have been rising steadily in recent years. Reducing utility bills while minimizing our environmental impact is a constant concern for homeowners.

Sometimes we see energy-efficient improvements in other homes and wonder whether ours would be suitable for such upgrades.

When we think about improving the insulation in our homes, we often assume it will be a long, invasive process that creates a lot of dust and mess.

There’s a common perception that any renovation done to a home will always improve or increase its value—and that’s true.

When comfort seemed impossible, PUREFLOC arrived. In Valdemoro, a home was suffering the consequences of freezing winters and scorching summers.

In high-use buildings like transport offices, comfort and sustainability often take a back seat. But not in Parla. Here, the tram offices prove that even the most demanding public infrastructures can become models of energy efficiency. With URSA PUREFLOC, walls and ceilings were insulated swiftly and without disruption—cutting energy use while dramatically improving thermal comfort for both staff and visitors. This project is more than just an upgrade: it’s a statement that better buildings aren’t a luxury—they’re a necessity. And with the right insulation, they’re within reach.

As Europe moves steadily towards a net-zero carbon future, one thing has become clear: energy efficiency in buildings is no longer a nice-to-have - it's a must. And with new EU regulations already rolling out in some countries, construction professionals can’t afford to fall behind.
