Lindner ECO_N® is the first hybrid facade within our unitised façade systems. As a structural component, the timber module contributes — depending on the specific configuration — to a reduction in CO₂ emissions of 20 to 30 % compared to a conventional aluminium unitised facade without a timber module. By using timber, we not only create a visual connection to nature: the wood used is CO₂-neutral in accordance with EN 15804 (Scopes 1–3, including biogenic carbon content) and has a positive impact on the overall life cycle assessment of the facade system.
In addition, the Lindner ECO_N® features mechanically separable components with documented recyclability and continues the proven base construction of our hybrid facades. The system stands out with clearly defined sealing and functional layers, a patented PA pressure plate and enhanced fire protection properties. Thanks to prefabricated, high-quality facade elements, installation on site is both efficient and reliably completed on schedule.

As a statically effective component, the wood module in the Lindner ECO_N®, depending on the type of construction, contributes to a CO2 reduction of 20 to 30 % compared with a conventional aluminium facade. The economic aspect of using timberin the Lindner ECO_N® unitised facade lies in its design: when combining timber and aluminium profiles, their differing properties have been carefully coordinated. This ensures long-term value retention, while the facade’s extended service life makes it particularly sustainable.
The use of modular facade elements allows for flexible design and adaptation to a wide range of requirements, but also enables straightforward dismantling by material type in accordance with the Cradle-to-Cradle standard for defined product groups. According to the Cradle-to-Cradle principle, materials should be reusable without any loss of quality and remain within a continuous cycle. The selection and origin of raw materials therefore play a key role: in the hybrid facade, single-origin materials with documented recyclability are used. Lindner places particular emphasis on transparency in life cycle assessment and integrated environmental management. For this reason, all Lindner facades are assessed and certified on a project-specific basis in line with LEED, DGNB and BREEAM standards.
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 colored sections of the aluminium profiles with the wood modules, as is possible with Lindner 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 facade can also be customised.
The hybrid facade consistently continues the advantages of the proven Lindner ECO® aluminum base construction with its clear sealing and functional levels: The patented PA pressure strip meets the highest thermal insulation requirements. The aluminum profiles exposed to moisture are clearly separated from the dry area of the timber modules and only non-combustible materials are used in the ceiling termination area. The timber module can be statically compensated – a clear advantage in terms of preventive fire protection.
