The Lindner ECO_N® is the first hybrid facade in our range of unitised facades and, thanks to the combination of timber modules and aluminium, it combines cost-effectiveness with sustainability. By using wood, we not only create a visual link to nature: The CO2-neutral wood also has a very positive effect on the ecological balance of the facade. With ECO_N®, we also rely on pure materials with maximum recyclability and continue the proven basic design of our hybrid façades: The facade system impresses with clear sealing and functional levels, patented PA compression moulding and special fire protection properties. The system can also be installed quickly and on time on site thanks to the use of prefabricated, high-quality facade elements.
The CO2-neutral wood has an extremely positive influence on the ecological balance of the facade: As a statically effective component, the wood module in the ECO_N contributes to a CO2 reduction of 20 to 30 %, depending on the type of construction. The economic aspect of using wood in the ECO_N unitised facade is explained by its design: The different properties of wood and aluminium profiles have been carefully matched. This ensures long-term value retention – and the long service life makes the facade particularly sustainable.
The hybrid facade uses single-origin materials with maximum recyclability. Lindner focuses on transparency with regard to life cycle assessment and integrated environmental management: All Lindner facades are therefore assessed and certified according to LEED, DNGB and BREEAM for each property. The Cradle to Cradle Certified® Silver award also confirms the recyclability of the unitised facades. These certifications, awarded by independent institutions, are of great importance to investors when evaluating their property.
Wood creates a warm atmosphere in the room – the wood cladding creates a direct link to nature and thus significantly enhances the feeling of living. The modular combination of coloured sections of the aluminium profiles with the wood modules, as is possible with ECO_N 80, creates an exclusive, modern look. There is a wide range of wood types to choose from, which can of course be varied from room to room. The external appearance of the façade can also be customised.
The hybrid facade consistently continues the advantages of the proven Lindner ECO aluminium base construction with its clear sealing and functional levels: The patented PA pressure strip meets the highest thermal insulation requirements. The timber module is positioned so that it is protected from moisture and only non-combustible materials are used in the ceiling connection area. The timber module can be statically compensated – a clear advantage in terms of preventive fire protection.
