sustainability across our shipyard
All our products are responsibly made in Germany
RENEWABLE MATERIALS RESEARCH
Building with flax-fibre sandwich panels, the renewable alternative:
- Near identical mechanical properties to conventional composite panels
- Only slightly heavier
- Better fire resistance / retardance
- Flax fibres are hollow, giving more stability on impact
- Cork core has better acoustic properties than conventional panels
- Ultimate sustainability โ cork regrows without harming the tree
