Technowood is a patented system for an Aluminium or GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) substrate which is coated in a completely natural timber veneer. This gives the aesthetic and natural feeling of timber but uses 98% less timber in production. In addition, these materials can meet A2 Class fire rating enabling use on many projects. The wood coating acts natural in an external environment, ages overtime, but at a much slower and more consistent rate as most solid timber species would due to the build of the material and the species used. The moisture resistance is outstanding, so unique design can be achieve that are not practical with traditional wood.
The majority of our profiles are made to order; this allows us to meet most design details where solid timber often falls short. The added stability of using Aluminium or GRP adds to our ability to meet your project’s needs.
