Novano for Architects
Built for Architects
Novano is engineered with architects in mind, bringing together refined aesthetics, structural reliability, and long-term exterior performance into a single advanced material system.
From early design concepts through final project approvals, Novano supports the architectural process with clear technical documentation, verified performance data, and specification-ready resources. Its precision manufacturing, dimensional stability, and contemporary finish options allow you to design with confidence while meeting demanding performance and compliance requirements.
Novano doesn’t simply complement architectural intent, it helps you realize it with clarity, control, and lasting performance.

FAQs
What performance standards does Novano meet?
Novano exterior systems are engineered and tested to meet recognized performance criteria for exterior building materials. Performance characteristics include:
- Fire classification testing (where applicable to system type)
- Structural integrity and load performance (for decking systems)
- Slip resistance ratings
- Moisture resistance and low water absorption
- UV durability and color stability
- Dimensional stability under temperature variation
Full test documentation is available to support compliance and code review.
What technical support is available for architectural projects?
Novano provides architects with a comprehensive set of specification resources, including:
- CAD drawings for precise detailing
- Technical data sheets outlining structural performance metrics
- Installation manuals with defined fixing methods and movement tolerances
Additional guidance is available for subframe systems, ventilation strategies, fire performance documentation, and warranty information.
Our technical team can also provide project-specific consultation to support material integration from concept development through construction documentation.
How does Novano perform in decking applications?
Novano decking systems are engineered for structural reliability, surface durability, and pedestrian safety in exterior environments. Key technical benefits include:
- High slip resistance for wet and dry conditions
- Resistance to rot, mold, and insect damage
- Minimal expansion and contraction
- No splintering or cracking
- Low maintenance over long service life
This makes it suitable for residential terraces, rooftop decks, hospitality spaces, and commercial outdoor environments.
How does Novano perform in siding and fencing systems?
In siding and fencing applications, Novano delivers long-term stability and aesthetic consistency.
It maintains alignment without warping, swelling, or surface degradation. The material resists moisture penetration and UV fading, making it appropriate for both vertical cladding and boundary systems in demanding climates.
This reduces lifecycle maintenance and ensures predictable performance in exposed conditions.
