Have you ever imagined formwork that doesn’t get removed and becomes part of the building’s final design? With Viroc, it’s possible — and increasingly valued in contemporary architecture that seeks to combine functionality, aesthetics and sustainability.
What is permanent formwork with Viroc?
Permanent formwork is a construction system where the panels used to mould concrete remain integrated into the structure after pouring. With Viroc, this solution gains an extra dimension: the material becomes visible, revealing its natural texture and architectural character.
Why choose Viroc for this type of application?
Viroc is a cement and wood panel with high mechanical strength and durability, ideal for structural applications with a strong visual identity. When used as permanent formwork, it allows:
🔸 Fewer construction steps – the formwork becomes part of the wall, eliminating the need for further finishes
🔸 Greater efficiency on site – Viroc can be cross-cut to 1250 mm to suit construction needs
🔸 Less waste – fewer materials used, less waste generated
🔸 Added aesthetic value – the final finish is visible, with Viroc’s natural texture and colour
A smart choice for contemporary projects
More and more architects and engineers are looking for materials that simplify construction and enhance the end result. Viroc meets this challenge, offering a robust and expressive solution for residential, commercial and industrial buildings alike.
