Pictura


Pictura is a fully compressed, autoclaved, fibre cement sheet with mineral enamel coating used for internal and external applications. Panels installed on projects from the early 1960's still retain their structural integrity and original colour. Pictura has been used in a wide range of building types: public, commercial and residential.


Applications include façade cladding, fascias, soffits, window reveals, balcony panels, wall linings and toilet cubicles. Pictura's unique characteristics make it the unrivalled material for tunnel linings. The product's durability and ease of maintenance has made it the natural choice of international companies for petrol stations, convenience stores and service centres.


Pictura offers a strong smooth surface that provides permanent protection against many types of staining whilst providing high levels of absorption and chemical resistance.


The top layer is hardened through UV-light and offers a good protection against mechanical damages during the construction.


Pictura has the following general characteristics:

  • non-combustible
  • good noise insulation properties
  • weather resistant
  • water proof (use only vertically for direct outdoor applications)
  • resistance against living organisms (mold, bacteria, insects, pests, etc.)
  • chemical resistant
  • environmentally friendly, no harmful gas emissions
  • strong, rigid panels
  • frost resistant
  • anti graffiti protection built in as standard
