Ventura International, a luxury wall surface manufacturing company in India introduces a natural, B1 fire rated cladding solution VIROC by Portuguese company Investwood.

It’s used in exterior cladding applications, where a neo-modern and minimalist look is needed, due to it’s non-homogeneous and natural appearance and comes in 6 colours.

Ltd. “It’s flat and smooth on both surfaces, combining the strength and flexibility of wood durability and resistant qualities of cement. Viroc can be factory calibrated/sanded (for applications requiring a tighter tolerance). Once calibrated, it presents visible wood particles on the surface. It can be machined and worked with typical carpentry tools. Viroc cement particle boards offer great strength and durability. Easily workable like wood, the boards are flexible for multiple applications for façades, walls, floors and ceilings and roofing”.

Viroc panels also provide resistance to fungi, termites, rot and water vapour. They can be easily installed on Aluminium framework like any other exterior cladding solution.
