FAQs
What performance standards does Novano meet?
Novano is engineered to meet recognised international standards for exterior façade applications. Key performance characteristics include:
- Fire classification testing (subject to system configuration)
- Structural integrity and load performance
- Moisture resistance with low water absorption
- UV durability and long-term colour stability
- Dimensional stability under temperature variation
Comprehensive test documentation is available to support UK compliance requirements and specification review.
What technical support does Novano provide for projects?
Novano supports architects, designers, and contractors with a full suite of specification-ready resources, including:
- CAD drawings for accurate detailing
- Technical data sheets outlining performance metrics
- Installation guides with defined fixing methods and movement tolerances
Additional guidance is available for subframe systems, ventilation strategies, fire performance, and warranty documentation to ensure seamless integration into project specifications.
Our technical team also provides project-specific support, assisting from concept design through to tender documentation and final construction.
How does Novano perform in façade and cladding applications?
Novano is designed to deliver long-term performance and visual consistency across façade systems in the UK’s varied climate. Key benefits include:
- Resistance to moisture ingress, preventing swelling or warping
- UV stability to minimise fading over time
- Excellent dimensional stability in changing temperatures
- Durable surface performance with no cracking or surface degradation
- Low-maintenance lifecycle with no requirement for painting or sealing
This ensures reliable performance across residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments.
Is Novano suitable for demanding external environments?
Yes. Novano is engineered to perform in exposed conditions, including high rainfall, temperature fluctuations, and urban environments.
Its material composition resists biological degradation such as rot and fungal growth, while maintaining structural integrity and appearance over time. This makes it a dependable solution for long-term exterior applications where durability and consistency are critical.
