Engineered for tropical resilience and architectural consistency, Novano decking utilises a high-performance board profile. Supported by integrated edge and fascia boards with hidden fastening components, it ensures a seamless, screw-free finish across every home and commercial space in Asia.
Novano composite decking is a fully integrated system designed to deliver consistent performance, visual continuity, and reliable installation results across residential and commercial projects. Every component, from the main decking board to the edge, fascia, and fastening elements, works together as one coordinated solution.
Β
This approach simplifies specification for local architects, reduces installation complexity for contractors, and ensures a clean, cohesive finish from the deck surface to perimeter details.
Novano decking features the ArmorToneβ’ colour protection system engineered for long-term performance in Asiaβs demanding climate. Built with Enhanced Fiber Composite (EFC) technology, the system integrates colour and surface protection throughout the board itself, helping maintain colour consistency across cuts, routed edges, scratches, and high-traffic areas.
Β
A protective engineered surface layer delivers enhanced UV resistance, moisture protection, and long-lasting colour retention despite Asiaβs intense sun and humidity. Designed specifically for horizontal outdoor applications, Novano decking maintains its premium appearance and durability over time.
The foundation of the Novano decking system. Engineered for high-traffic durability and refined aesthetics, our primary decking board delivers a seamless, high-performance surface that replaces the maintenance of natural timber with the precision of advanced composite technology.
Β
Designed for total compatibility with our hidden fastening system, it ensures perfectly consistent spacing and a clean, screw-free finish for a modern Singaporean aesthetic.
Key Performance Features:
Built for maximum dimensional stability and tropical weather resistance.
A premium, low-maintenance alternative to traditional Chengal or Teak.
Fully compatible with concealed fixings for a seamless look.
Compatible with concealed fastening systems.
Rated for both luxury residential and high-load commercial use.
The Novano Decking Board is the main structural component of the decking system, designed to create a smooth and durable surface for your balcony or outdoor space in Singapore.
Β
It features a precision-engineered profile that works seamlessly with hidden fastening systems, allowing for consistent spacing and a clean, screw-free installation. This delivers a refined finish while serving as a low-maintenance alternative to traditional Chengal or Teak decking, while maintaining the same strength, weather resistance, and long-term performance expected from Novano decking.
Novano Decking Edge Board
The Novano Decking Edge Board is a flat-edge version of the main decking board, specifically designed for use at the outermost edges of your balcony or deck.Β
Β
One side is groove-free, allowing for clean edge installation where fasteners are concealed. This ensures a polished border while maintaining the same weather resistance and structural integrity as the main decking boards.
Novano Decking Fascia Board
The Novano Decking Fascia Board is installed vertically along the perimeter of the deck substructure to conceal the exposed edges, grooves, and framing elements of the system.Β
Β
This component completes the system by creating a smooth, enclosed outer face that aligns with Novanoβs modern, architectural aesthetic.
Fastening & Installation Accessories
Novano decking is supported by a complete set of system-specific installation accessories designed to ensure accurate alignment and structural stability.Β
Starter clips provide a secure starting point for the first row, while decking clips maintain consistent spacing and concealed fixation. Dowels are used to secure planks with a strong, hidden fastening method, resulting in a seamless surface.
The Foundation of Performance: Why Substructure Matters
In Asiaβs tropical climates, a high-performance deck is only as reliable as the frame beneath it. While Novano boards provide visible elegance and weather resistance, a precision-engineered substructure ensures the structural integrity, safety, and long-term alignment of outdoor spaces exposed to intense heat, heavy rainfall, and tropical conditions.
1. Structural Integrity & Load Distribution
A robust substructure acts as the spine of your project. It is engineered to support the combined weight of the decking system, heavy outdoor furniture, and high-occupancy loads during gatherings without sagging or structural fatigue over time.
2. Precision Levelling & Stability
Novano boards are dimensionally stable, meaning they resist warping under intense tropical heat and sun exposure. A solid foundation helps maintain this precision across the entire surface, preventing βbouncingβ and ensuring a perfectly level finish even on sloping balconies or uneven concrete slabs.
3. Enhanced Ventilation & Moisture Management
In tropical outdoor environments, proper substructure spacing is critical for airflow. A correctly designed frame helps prevent trapped moisture beneath the surface, protecting the underlying structure while helping the deck remain cooler underfoot and dry.
4. Code Compliance & Safety Assurance
Engineering a deck to professional building standards is not just about aesthetics; it is about achieving long-term structural performance, safety, and reliability. A properly designed substructure helps ensure outdoor spaces are durable, secure, and built to perform for decades across demanding tropical environments.

βWe selected Novano cladding for its timber appearance, but the real advantage is the minimal maintenance. After a year in a tropical environment, the colour hasnβt changed at all. It was a very practical decision.β
βUsed Novano decking in a high-traffic area. Scratches are barely visible thanks to the consistent core colour. It performs exactly as specified.β
βAs a Singapore-based architect, Novano gave us the timber aesthetic our client wanted without the durability risks of wood. The material performs extremely well in our tropical climate, and the sustainability documentation made specification seamless.β
