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.
Port of Cala del Forte
Officially inaugurated in 2021, the port of Cala del Forte is one of the most modern in the Mediterranean.

Officially inaugurated in 2021, the port of Cala del Forte is one of the most modern in the Mediterranean. It was created with the aim of replicating the model of comfort and hospitality of the ports in the Principality of Monaco: on land 15.000 m2 of promenades and gardens, a natural environment in harmony with the surrounding landscape, 31 commercial establishments, including gourmet restaurants , coffee bar, gym, a shipyard, nautical services and more.
Novowood is the product chosen for the creation of the long walks that "embrace" the project: almost 4.000 m2 of Elite 145 flooring capable of withstanding the most adverse atmospheric conditions, typical of the maritime environment, and capable of maintaining its characteristics unaltered in the years.
The Infinity Plus 60 louvers cover the façades of one of the main elements of the Port: the central tower, positioned in the heart of the project. The louvers screen the openings and create the envelope that gives identity to this service tower.
Everything in the port has been designed and built to be cutting-edge from the point of view of environmental sustainability. Novowood was also chosen for this reason: with over 81,5% of recycled material present within it, it favors the development of a circular economy aimed at containing CO2 emissions in the world.
