01 / Material Architecture
Bridging the gap between Industrial Composites and Natural Timber.
Our Natural Fiber Composites (NFC) are engineered to offer the 3D scalability of GRP with the renewable soul of Wood. This comparison clarifies how NFC functions as a strategic tool in the building envelope toolkit.
| Properties | Aluminum | GRP (Glass Fiber) | Timber (Wood) | CS Natural Fiber |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Form & Scale | Folded 2D Sheets | Free-form 3D Molded | Linear / Flat Planks | 6m Monolithic / 3D Molded |
| Material Base | Mined Metal | Petroleum / Glass | Biological / Renewable | Bio-based Fiber Matrix |
| Assembly Logic | Mechanical / Riveted | Industrial Standard | Labor-Intensive Craft | Industrial Standard (Like GRP) |
| Surface System | Powder / Anodized | Gelcoat / Paint | Natural / Varnish | Raw Linum or Universal eCoat |
Raw Linum
An unpainted, natural finish where the fiber structure is visible. This allows for an organic aging process, preferred for biophilic designs where the material's evolution is part of the architecture.
Universal eCoat
A sealed, industrially coated surface. It provides a robust environmental barrier in any architectural color, mimicking the low-maintenance profile of traditional GRP panels.

02 / Finish Specification
Two distinct states. Engineered for performance.
We supply our monolithic panels in two performance tiers. Whether the project requires the raw haptics of natural fiber or a fully sealed industrial barrier, the core structural advantages remain constant.
Raw Linum
Natural, tactile, and warm. Highlights the "fiber-optic" depth and texture of the natural fibers.
Ages organically over time. Internal reports document high dimensional stability compared to traditional timber.
Biophilic design and organic architectural expressions.
Universal eCoat
Smooth, pristine, and available in any architectural pigment (RAL/NCS).
A sealed industrial barrier. Matches the durability of GRP with a bio-based carbon footprint.
High-exposure envelopes and low-maintenance commercial projects.
Design & Aesthetics: Freedom in Surfaces and Finishes
- Standard panels up to 6 x 2.5 meters
- Capability for molded freeform shapes
- Works with timber or stone builds
03 / Material Composition
A technical breakdown of our bio-based matrix.
We replace fossil-based components with high-performance natural and recycled alternatives. Our composites are engineered through a precise combination of reinforcement fibers, bio-resins, and sustainable core materials.
01 / Reinforcement
Natural Fibers
We utilize high-tensile Flax and Hemp, along with other natural and recycled fibers, to provide the structural skeleton of the panel. These fibers offer the "fiber-optic" depth unique to our material.
02 / Matrix
Plant-Based Resins
Our binding systems are up to 100% plant-based. These bio-resins encapsulate the fibers, creating a durable, weather-resistant composite without the heavy carbon footprint of traditional epoxy.
03 / Core
Recycled & Natural Cores
Depending on the application, we use Recycled PET, Cork, Balsa Wood, Agave, or Honey-comb structures. This central layer defines the panel's weight, stiffness, and thermal insulation properties.
Sustainability Note: Every component is selected to maximize bio-content and recyclability, ensuring our 6.0m panels remain carbon-positive throughout their lifecycle.
Assembly and Processing
- Various mounting systems available
- Traditional methods: screwing, rivets
- Invisible clips and hanging systems
- Can be sawed, milled, drilled, etc
04 / Production & Circularity
From high-efficiency 2D skins to custom 3D geometries.
Our manufacturing facility is a technical laboratory for natural fiber application. We utilize a "Tool Kit" approach, allowing for varying thicknesses, core combinations, and geometric complexities.
01 / 2D Monolithic Panels
Pressure & Heat Optimization
Produced on our industrial press in dimensions up to 6.0m x 2.5m. This is our most efficient and sustainable process, using heat and pressure to achieve optimal fiber content for maximum structural performance.
- Secondary Bonding: Thin skins produced for integration with other substrates.
- Full Laminates: Multi-layer fiber structures (e.g., 5mm solid laminates).
- One-Shot Sandwich: Two skins pressed simultaneously with a core (e.g., 3mm Cork).
02 / 3D Components
Geometric Complexity
Utilizing vacuum infusion or two-sided RTM Moulds to apply the pressure necessary for natural fiber integrity. Ideal for corners, reveals, and custom architectural features.
- Standard Elements: A catalog of pre-existing architectural molds.
- Custom Development: New elements designed for specific project requirements.
- Shared Tooling: Option to offer custom molds to the wider market to reduce unit costs.
Closing the Loop
We take responsibility for every component we supply. All Circular Structures components can be returned to us at the end of their lifecycle.
If no secondary use is possible, we recycle the components at our own cost. We ensure the material never returns to a landfill.
