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.

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
