In the modern building scene, wood is emerging as one of the most promising and innovative materials, thanks to its extraordinary natural characteristics and to the growing interest in sustainable solutions. This material, which has been used for millennia in construction, is now experiencing a renaissance thanks to its unique properties that make it ideal for facing the climate and environmental challenges of our time.
Among its many advantages, wood stands out for its excellent insulation properties, structural strength and ability to store carbon, thus helping to reduce the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. In addition, wood is a renewable resource that, if managed responsibly, is a virtuous choice for the environment.
Wood, with its infinite possibilities, is destined to return as the undisputed protagonist of design and planning, a material that looks to the past but is projected into the future.
“For Fossati Serramenti, wood is not just a material, but a choice rooted in our tradition and renewed as a pillar of innovation and sustainability. GF 1920 Wood Philosophy, is the new company dedicated to the production of wooden windows and doors. It is an example of cutting-edge joinery that combines excellent craftsmanship with the most advanced technologies to create windows and doors, which combine aesthetics, performance and respect for the environment”.
The sustainable future of Wood: a zero-impact choice thanks to Novowood
In the present context of rising environmental awareness and the need to preserve natural resources, innovative materials are playing an increasingly significant role in the building and furniture industry. These materials offer high performance in terms of strength, durability and sustainability, opening up new prospects for a greener and more responsible future.
NOVOWOOD is a successful example of how technological innovation can combine the aesthetic and functional qualities of wood with the advantages offered by composite materials. Developed thanks to the fundamental contribution of the University of Ferrara, this WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) represents a pragmatic response to the environmental challenges of our time.
Made of 65 percent recycled wood, 25 percent High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), and 10 percent additives, NOVOWOOD stands out for its eco-sustainable approach: no trees are cut down to produce it and it is 100 percent recyclable. Moreover, at the end of its life cycle, it can be regenerated up to 20 times while maintaining its mechanical and aesthetic characteristics: a true example of circular economy.
Thanks to constant product research and development, NOVOWOOD is able to meet design needs with innovative, sustainable and high-quality solutions, making a concrete contribution to an increasingly environmentally friendly future of construction.
