Non-Combustible Assurance:
Safety is paramount in any construction project, and Knotwood’s wood effect aluminium products offer an exceptional advantage – they are non-combustible and fire rated to A2-s1-d0.

Eco-Friendly Innovation:
In an era where environmental consciousness is at the forefront, Knotwood’s commitment to sustainability stands out. The wood effect aluminium products are not only visually appealing but also eco-friendly.
Choosing a material with sustainability in mind is becoming more paramount. Metal is one of the planet’s most recycled materials, and aluminium boasts one of the highest recycling rates of any metal. Knotwood is 100% recyclable and uses VOC-free coatings and lead-free finishes resulting in a smaller environmental footprint for you and us.
Seamless Aesthetics:
One of the standout features of Knotwood’s wood effect aluminium products is their ability to seamlessly mimic the appearance of natural wood. The powder-coated woodgrain effect is created with the latest in sublimation and photographic film technology.
The attention to detail in recreating wood grains, textures, and colours is remarkable. This level of authenticity allows designers to achieve the warm and inviting look of wood without sacrificing durability or worrying about maintenance challenges.

Contractors appreciate the efficiency and simplicity of working with these materials, allowing them to save time and resources while delivering exceptional results. This ease of installation translates into cost savings and increased project efficiency.

These products are resistant to fading, warping, and cracking – common issues associated with natural wood. By specifying Knotwood, designers and contractors ensure that their projects stand the test of time.
