A composition that makes the difference
Almost everyone in the market talks about composition: percentages, fibres, polymers.
Does composition matter? Yes, very much so, which is why VISENDUM® profiles incorporate 70% PEFC pine from forest cleaning and sawmill waste, without the need to cut down a single tree, when most profiles on the market are synthetic WPC plastics, often honeycomb, with the health and hygiene problems that this entails, or treated tropical woods, which require constant maintenance and gradually turn black. VISENDUM® is committed to a different formulation that makes it unique to the touch and to the eye. VISENDUM® is wood, lots of wood, but without the drawbacks, and paradoxically it can be worked like wood, sanded or curved, offering significant advantages. VISENDUM® is wood at its finest.
What does a high real wood content offer?
1. More natural thermal behaviour
A matrix with a high proportion of wood:
- Reduces the plastic feel to the touch.
- lmproves response to sudden thermal changes.
- Attenuates aggressive expansion common in compositions with excess polymer.
Result: more predictable material for façades and cladding.
2. Authentic texture, not superficial
The wood is not “printed”or simulated.
It is integrated into the mass, which allows for:
- Functional textures, not cosmetic ones.
- Matt, open and stable surfaces.
- Uniform ageing, without flaking or layers that wear away.
Result: an emotion is conveyed to the touch that is difficult to match.
The passage of time as a true test
But outdoors, another aspect must also be considered, one that is often overlooked, and that is how the material responds to the passage of time. For this, the composition of the material, mentioned above, is key.
At VISENDUM®, we design profiles to function in real conditions, not for catalogues.
What does that mean in practice?
1. Extreme weather conditions
Snow, ice, freeze-thaw cycles, intense solar radiation and continuous use.
VISENDUM® Engineered Wood profiles maintain dimensional stability and surface behaviour without cracks or deformations.
At VISENDUM®, having so much wood and so little resin means we don’t burn our feet, slip or generate static electricity, which is why VISENDUM® passes the EN 321 test for resistance to extreme climates and is installed in both mountains and deserts, in the most arid and the most frigid climates, where the most demanding response is required.
2. Operational surface
The visible surface of VISENDUM® is designed so that:
- It is non-slip even when wet or snowy.
- It is compatible with the use of salt in mountain environments.
- It does not require the application of oils, varnishes or periodic treatments.
3. Controlled ageing
The material does not ‘deteriorate’: it evolves evenly.
With VISENDUM®, the colour, texture and feel stabilise without invasive maintenance or repeated processes.
4. Real work, not laboratory work
There are VISENDUM® installations that are over 25 years old and still perfectly fulfil their ornamental, technical and functional role.
That is measurable durability, not a commercial promise. VISENDUM® offers up to a 25-year guarantee, is 100% recyclable and can be reused for up to 250 years.
5. From parents to children
Designed to transcend time. VISENDUM® is intergenerational, reflecting an eternal legacy. Because we care about the planet and people, we want the mark and legacy you leave behind to help and serve those you love most. That is why VISENDUM® offers wood that prevents deforestation of the planet and CO2 emissions into the atmosphere over long distances (which is why we manufacture on the banks of the River Ebro!) and is healthy, as we avoid including any trace of toxic PVC in our composition. Because we want you and your loved ones to enjoy every moment, VISENDUM® is solid, sustainable, adaptable to your needs, does not rot, is non-slip and anti-static, does not discolour and does not need treatment. For your safety, VISENDUM® is fire resistant up to Bs1 d0. It also does not contain silicates, stone or rice husks, like other materials, which is why we are wood at heart, without husks or stone.
Why is this key for the prescriber?
Because it reduces:
- Uncertainty in demanding projects.
- Life cycle cost.
Because it does not involve:
- Treatments.
And it provides:
- Technical reliability.
- Long-term peace of mind.
- Material consistent with contemporary and sustainable architecture..
Choosing VISENDUM® means moving forward to prolong the pleasure of living and enjoying life, even as time passes.
