Corbosa

Corbosa is a Nichiha architectural wall panel in the Concrete Series that evokes the look of wet concrete and the industrial look of concrete. It suits modern designs and avoids the mess and expense associated with traditional masonry. It is part of the Nichiha range used for commercial rainscreen cladding.

Corbosa is made in the AWP 1818 format. Published panel data:

• Actual height: 17-7/8 inches (455 mm)
• Actual length: 71-9/16 inches (1818 mm)
• Thickness: 5/8 inch (16 mm)
• Weight: 40 pounds per panel, or 4.5 pounds per square foot
• Exposed coverage: 8.88 square feet per panel
• Packaging: 2 pieces per pack, covering 17.76 square feet
• Orientation: horizontal only

Corbosa is made in two colors. Silver Dust and Shadow are the color names on the Concrete Series sheet. The product page lists Silver Dust and Dark Cloud under available colors and names Moondust and Shadow in its bullet list.

Corbosa installs horizontally with the Ultimate Clip System and hidden fasteners. The same clip is used on every AWP product, which allows Corbosa to be mixed with other AWP textures and colors. Ventilation and drainage behind Corbosa panels come from the integrated rainscreen. The clip system is rated for high wind load and approved by Miami-Dade County, and the page gives no numeric rating.

The panel can be used on exterior and interior walls.

Corbosa shares its AWP 1818 specifications with ConcreteBoard. IndustrialBlock offers a distressed look and EmpireBlock has a dimple, and both are the longer AWP 3030 format. The product page cross-references IndustrialBlock, TuffBlock and VintageWood as related panels. The manufacturer publishes a horizontal AWP installation guide for Corbosa.
