Not class ‘O’ board

Viroc

This structural cement board is a smooth finish cement particle board, for use in load-bearing applications.

Viroc provides partly limited sound insulation, impact resistance and moisture resistance. Vivalda can offer more durable alternatives to this Portuguese made board, which can provide a better resistance to the rigours of the British winter.

Viroc is not a Class ’O’ board. Please see pages for products listed below for certified class ‘O’ boards: Cempanel, Cemboard, Duripanel/New Pyroc, Versapanel.

Alternatives

Viroc and the other cement particle board alternatives can be used instead of chipboard or plywood, when there is a need for one or more of these properties.

Properties

Viroc and other cp board can be used for a variety of general purpose applications such as walls, pavements, ceilings and other general applications of panels. This panel is worked as the classic panel of particles: it can be cut like wood and can be drilled with a conventional high-speed brace. Viroc is not suitable for rough cutting. The fixation of Viroc panels can be made with nails, screws, staples, stickers and glues in the case of wood structures, or screws, stickers or glues in the case of structures of steel. Viroc panels, as all the other cement particle boards offered by Vivalda are non toxic, they don’t contain dangerous volatile compounds, so they do not constitute a danger for the atmosphere or for the public health. However due to their size and weight they can present some risks namely in the handling and cutting.

These risks can be controlled if health and safety rules are followed.

Please check stock availability as the Viroc factory shuts down in the Summer and stock is not always available at short notice the rest of the year.
