Tropical hardwood alternative based on wood modification

Foreco Dalfsen b.v. (Foreco) has developed a new environmental friendly wood modification technique. Based on wood modification Foreco introduced NobelWood®, an award-winning alternative for tropical hardwood. It offers durable and sustainable production methods and products. The Dutch institute for building and ecology (NIBE) performed an indicative assessment to determine the environmental impact of NobelWood®. They concluded that usage of bio-polymerized wood has less impact on the environment than comparable building solutions and awarded Foreco with their trademark DUBOKEUR (www.dubokeur.nl).

100% renewable building material

Fast growing softwood sourced in sustainably managed forest areas, based on the FSC certification program, is treated with new modification techniques. It offers high quality wood products that can be used for cladding and other exterior applications. Products are available in a range of standard sizes and profiles. These can be supplied either machined to specified dimensions and patterns or as solid sections that can be machined, as required. Treated products are compatible with the fire retardant treatments of SafeWood® and SafeWood® Select. Further possibilities include application of coating systems, offering extended design possibilities.
