ABOUT VERSAROC ®

Versaroc is a highly fire-resistant* (UL LISTED), structural cement bonded particle board (CBPB) for use in span-rated floors, roofs, and walls. Versaroc is highly resistant to weather, impact, mold/fungus, abuse and vermin/insect attack.

Versaroc is composed of 71% Portland cement, 19% mineralized wood fiber, 9% water and 1% bonding agents. The uniting of wood fiber and Portland cement produces a building panel which is non-toxic, does not contain hazardous volatiles and is free of any asbestos or formaldehyde. Versaroc does not present health hazards and is environmentally safe. Versaroc is a green building material and contributes to your building’s LEED certification (IEQ Credit 3, IEQ Credit 4).

Versaroc will not delaminate in water and is dimensionally stable. Versaroc’s outstanding features make it suitable for exterior and interior wall construction, floors, ceilings, or as a general purpose building panel.

Versaroc is supplied in 4’ x 8’ and 4’ x 10’ sheets at thicknesses of 5/16”, 3/8”, 1/2”, 3/4”, 7/8”, 1”, 1-1/8”, 1-1/4” and 1-1/2”. Square edge boards are available on all thicknesses and tongue & groove edges are available on 5/8” through 1-1/2” panels. Panels are available in standard finish, factory sealed on all six sides and/or factory calibrated (sanded).
