Nichiha USA, a manufacturer of residential fiber cement siding and Architectural Wall Panels, introduces TuffBlock, a textured wall panel that provides façade-differentiating accents for high-end commercial buildings and popular national chains.
TuffBlock’s rough texture finish takes it up a notch in modern façades making it an ideal solution for retail and restaurant brands that need to meet brand standards on exterior walls with low maintenance. The panels’ texture allows architects to incorporate dimensional accents on larger buildings.
TuffBlock is available in four colors: steel, pewter, walnut and bamboo. The 5/8-inch-thick panels carry a 50-year manufacturer warranty and a 15-year finish warranty. Like all of Nichiha’s Architectural Wall Panels, TuffBlock works with Ultimate Clip, an easy-to-install system that also creates a 10-millimeter drained and back-ventilated rainscreen to allow moisture to drain away and the envelope to dry out.
