VitraPanel® is a pre-finished panel based on high density (compressed) fibre cement. VitraGroup processes and coats the cement sheets with its proprietary coating systems. The coating process is performed in a totally sealed automated environment with a 100% recovery system. After bonding, the components of our coating systems create a totally stable and inert surface, which is environmentally safe. The base panel is known as being a low-embodied energy product. Due to the longevity of our panels (50 or 60 years) there is no repainting during this time required. This long life cycle reduces the total embodied energy and capital cost for the benefit of the environment.
