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.

In the Monte Salario district, within famous Great Ring Road – GRA, between Via Salaria and the A1 motorway, “Studio Transit” has designed a residential intervention on an area of over 43,700 square meters in a strategic and, at the same time, impressive position.

In the Monte Salario district, within famous Great Ring Road – GRA, between Via Salaria and the A1 motorway, “Studio Transit” has designed a residential intervention on an area of over 43,700 square meters in a strategic and, at the same time, impressive position.
The project aims to recreate the complexity of the urban landscape into a unitary organism, inspired by the Roman tradition of the early 1900s, trying to recreate the compositional articulation and the quality of the spaces of the interventions carried out in those years, such as “Città Giardino”, “Garbatella” , “Piazza Tuscolo” projects.
The strength of the intervention is the characterization of the apartments and the arrangement of the facades, which develop on different levels and with heterogeneous materials. Among them : Novowood, which is employed with its “Infinity 90” louvers profiles and with “Skin Prestige 197” cladding staves.
The louvers has been installed thanks to the exclusive “Surface System” that allows to create invisible fixings, thanks to a specifically designed aluminum substructure system and special connectors. The versatility of the “Surface System” enabled to use the Infinity profiles on the elevations of building M and in the terraces’ shielding panels of building N.
The “Skin Prestige 197” profiles, in Wood color, clad the parapets of the balconies on the façade, giving the material effect and warmth of the wood in a contemporary intervention.
Another confirmation that makes Novowood an ideal solution for big projects where effective solutions with a strong visual impact are required.

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
