Novowood is a composite material (WPC), 70% made of wood natural fibers and 30% made of Polyethylene. It can be used for products of different shapes and colors, still maintaining the elegance of wood and the advantages of a not completely natural material.

For a realization in close contact with the sea the studio chooses Novowood WPC: the ideal material for bringing the warmth of wood to a maritime environment, granting high performances of resistance to weather conditions. The big prospect on the sea is characterized by wide lodges clad with Skin Pro staves: the Novowood product which, thanks to the widths 47, 97 and 197 mm, allows infinite possibilities of combination for the design of façades and false ceilings. Also the terraces floors are provided by Novowood that, with the big size Prestige 197 staves, offers the ideal surface on which you can live the outdoor space. LineaT studio, moreover, chooses Infinity Plus 30 louvers in order to shade from the sun the wide glazed surfaces and to grant to those who live the spaces the best experience in terms of illumination and environmental comfort. More than 987 square metres of façade and outdoor ceilings clad with Skin Pro, 240 square metres of Prestige 197 decking and 750 linear metres of Infinity Plus 30 profiles, express Novowood Wood Plastic Composite full potential and prove its great versatility: innovation and sustainability at the service of design.

Frequently asked questions
Novowood can be used for the flooring of terraces, swimming-pools, verandas, patio gardens, gazebos, exterior designs, and much more. In seaside environments, it can be efficiently used for walkway surfaces, wall cladding, louvers, wharfs, handrails or panel sections, but also for cladding and sunscreen profile.
Novowood has all the qualities of wood, but not its defects: it is long-lasting, stable and it does not warp, it has no splinters and does not lose color, it is sun, ice and rain resistant.
Novowood’s polymeric component allows it to better resist the deterioration due to the sea climate and salty water. Furthermore, it works as a protective layer against the proliferation of fungus and mould.
Finally, the composite materials require no maintenance, painting and are 100% recyclable.
Yes, it is more expensive than softwood, although the treaty, but it has a very similar price to the fine exotic wood (teak or similar), or the kind of wood that can be used outside for decades without any deterioration.
Novowood does not require any special maintenance, it is easy to clean thanks to the well-thought combination of wood and polyethylene, that restrain the growth of mould and fungus. It is suggested to clean it by using neutral floor detergents, and if using a high-pressure cleaner, it is necessary to keep the machine at least 30 cm away from the walking surface.
Novowood does not lose color thanks to the pigments and UV absorbers contained in the polymeric composite.
Is possible only a slight variation of tone certifiable in about a 7-10% due to the presence for 2/3 of the natural material as the wood flour, containing an internal "tannin" that is gradually released.
Novowood resists the UV rays damage thanks to a special composition of pigments and UV absorbers.
Wood plastic composite Novowood has excellent resistance to fire, responds to the class of fire resistance Cfl-S1 determined in MD March 15, 2005 (OJ No. 73 of 30/03/2005): Requirements for fire resistance of construction products installed in activities governed by specific technical fire prevention according to the European classification system
