ROI CROSS GROOVED TEXTURE

SKU: CF001-VGROOVED

ROI Cross Grooved Texture is a high-performance concrete facade cladding engineered for the UAE's demanding climate. Manufactured at our 33,000 sqm Jebel Ali facility, this self-curing cement-based panel features a precision V-grooved geometric pattern. At only 2-3mm thickness, it offers a lightweight alternative to traditional pre-cast slabs without compromising structural integrity. Ideal for both interior feature walls and exterior building envelopes, the ROI series provides a raw, industrial aesthetic. We customize dimensions to project specifications, ensuring minimal site waste. The material is UV-stable and resistant to thermal expansion, making it a preferred choice for architects and developers across the GCC seeking a modern architectural concrete finish with rapid installation capabilities.

Finish

The surface features a deep, linear V-groove pattern that creates rhythmic shadows under direct sunlight. Its matte, cementitious texture provides a tactile, industrial feel in a natural grey tone.

Maintenance

ROI panels are low-maintenance. For exterior applications, seasonal pressure washing with clean water is sufficient to remove dust. For interior surfaces, wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid acidic cleaners or abrasive pads that might etch the cementitious surface. Periodic resealing every 3-5 years is recommended for high-traffic or coastal exterior installations to preserve the finish.

Frequently asked questions

Can these panels be installed over existing substrates?
Yes, the 2-3mm ROI Cross Grooved Texture is designed for versatility. Due to its lightweight, self-curing cement composition, it can be applied over various stable substrates including plasterboard, marine plywood, and masonry. This makes it an excellent choice for retrofitting existing facade panel projects in Dubai where weight constraints are a concern. We recommend a high-bond adhesive suitable for the specific substrate and environmental exposure to ensure long-term adhesion.
Is the material suitable for the high temperatures of the GCC?
Absolutely. Our architectural concrete is formulated specifically for the Middle Eastern climate. The self-curing cement base handles thermal expansion and contraction efficiently, preventing cracking even under direct sunlight. As a leading supplier of concrete facade cladding in the UAE, IHGIND ensures all Prastara products are UV-stable and maintain their structural color and texture over long-term exposure to harsh desert conditions and high humidity.
What are the lead times for custom dimensions?
While we maintain standard stock for rapid deployment, custom dimensions for the ROI series are produced at our Jebel Ali facility. Lead times typically range from 2 to 4 weeks depending on the project volume and specific cut-to-size requirements. Our team works closely with procurement departments to align delivery with site installation schedules across the 43 countries we serve, ensuring timely project completion.
