NUO is as soft as leather and as smooth as fabric – completely animal-free and made of real wood. A sensation! The material is surprisingly light and looks very luxurious, can be bent in all directions and is very soft. NUO is made of high-quality veneer. The thin real wood is bonded with an environmentally friendly backing material, and then the wood surface is engraved. The fine engraving gives the wood surface its flexibility. The backing material provides strength and ensures that NUO is easy to process. If desired, the material can be coated with a protective layer of wax or lacquer. This protective layer makes NUO resistant to dust and moisture (depending on the surface treatment used).
Four types of wood and four different engravings are currently available. All logs come from sustainably managed forests. The available sizes are 620 mm x 620 mm, 1250 mm x 1240 mm, 2500 mm x 1240 mm. Significantly larger formats can also be produced on request, up to a length of 2800 mm and a width of 1240 mm. The specific characteristics of NUO, such as flexibility, weight and thickness of the material, depend essentially on the type of wood used, the type of application, the substrate and the surface finish.
