The story

The Forestlines® is a revolution in the world of wooden facade cladding.

It is a circular facade system in which untreated(!) wood is brought to the absolute top of building materials as the most ecological raw material.

Forestlines® is the very first to ensure that untreated wood can reach fire reaction class B in END USE.

This is due to the combination of all kinds of scientific laws such as micro-compartmentalization, heat conduction, reduction of flammable surface, etc.

This way you get facade cladding that approaches the absolute top in both fire and structural engineering and still gives you the opportunity to personalize according to wood type, plank width, etc.

Years of scientific study

The Forestlines concept is the end result of a thorough, many years of scientific study. The very best fire class with untreated wood was sought and found by means of trail-and-error.

Our own study was then combined with the final project of a (very) ambitious student, which gave us a better understanding of fire safety and the influence of wood properties on the fire behavior of wood.

Over the years, countless fire tests were organized and we came to Forestlines®.

The Forestlines® product is now supported with a very high knowledge of fire and fire tests.

Ecology and biodiversity

The Forestlines® is a revolution in the world of wood, both in terms of fire and construction.

The system offers the opportunity to make optimal use of wood as a natural product by having much less sawing loss.

At the same time, the connector also works as a stabilizer that optimally absorbs the effect of wood.

The Forestlines® is therefore one of the very best opportunities to integrate lesser-known types of wood (LKTS) into the market.

We are happy to play the card of global biodiversity, both in nature and in the project market.

The Forestlines® has won one international award after another.

The impact of the Forestlines® has not just passed away.

In recent years, no less than fourteen international prizes have been won, especially the innovation and ecological prizes.

This ranges from the main prize of the Red Dot Awards 2022 – The best innovative product' to the Architecture Masterprize, German Design Awards, etc.

FSC®

FSC® is a global, not-for-profit organization with high brand recognition. The FSC® certificate guarantees that the wood comes from a sustainably managed forest, where both environmental and social aspects are monitored. Ask about our FSC® certified products.
