New Product Spotlight: Latura V-Groove

When it comes to selecting the perfect solution for your next commercial or residential cladding project, there are numerous factors to consider. From design to durability, you need to find a solution that will stand the test of time.

At Nichiha, we create innovative solutions to help builders prepare for the future of commercial construction. That’s why we’re excited to announce a new product: Nichiha’s Latura V-Groove fiber cement cladding. These architectural wall panels give builders and property owners a classic look with the benefits of the built-in rainscreen, custom factory finish and clip system installation.

What We Love About Timeless Style With Modern Performance

Fiber cement siding is a composite building material made from wood fiber, Portland cement, water and sand. It offers extreme strength, high performance, cost-efficiency and a high-end look that you and the building owners will love.

Nichiha’s Latura V-Groove is the epitome of timeless style mixed with modern performance. The panels give the look of traditional siding but are easily installed on a hidden track system. A built-in rainscreen offers water intrusion protection and moisture management, ideal for a commercial or custom home application.

On top of moisture resistance, Latura V-Groove panels are resistant to fire, pests, wind and rot. Fiber cement-sided houses along coastal regions are protected from sun exposure, salt spray and high humidity. If potential wind damage is a major concern, fiber cement offers hurricane resilience as it can withstand up to 130 mph or higher winds.

No matter where you’re geographically located, your building’s durability is enhanced with Nichiha’s Latura V-Groove cladding.

A Realm of Color Possibilities

Nichiha’s Latura V-Groove is stocked in white and gray, and custom factory-finished colors are available. If you’re looking for an easy-to-use traditional design, look no further than Latura V-Groove.

Latura’s V-Groove features a sophisticated look with shadow lines to add depth and texture to your design. It is available in a 6-foot panel for horizontal orientations or a 10-foot panel for both vertical or horizontal applications. With Latura V-Groove, you also have access to Nichiha’s Color Xpressions system.

The Color Xpressions system provides a degree of design freedom that most cladding materials don’t offer. You get the strength of fiber cement with the versatility of choosing virtually any color. It’s easier than ever to match branding guidelines and color schemes seamlessly. The process is easy: choose your color after connecting with a Nichiha representative, receive swatches and sign off on the color of your choosing. Adding color on top of striking shadow lines adds a level of intrigue that can’t be beaten. The cherry on top? Color Xpressions is backed by a 15-year limited factory-applied finish warranty. 

Latura V-Groove Stands Out In The Materials Industry

Commercial designs need siding solutions that add style and offer the utmost protection. Compared to other materials like wood, stucco, brick or stone, fiber cement siding is hassle-free. Other cladding materials can get messy, expensive, delayed and can require costly repairs and maintenance down the road. 

Temperature fluctuations can cause brick and stucco to crack, exposing a project to potentially serious problems. Nichiha’s Latura V-Groove comes in a timeless style and can be installed year-round, regardless of the temperature, without the headaches of maintenance other materials require. 

Wood is subject to termites, woodpeckers and rot. Nichiha’s fiber cement cladding features a moisture management system that also aids in improved ventilation and better indoor air quality for your commercial building. Fiber cement can withstand high humidity without rotting or warping as wood products do.
