Neolife’s VESTA® cladding: eco-material from reclaimed wood fibers, delivering sustainable solutions with style, reshaping construction with a low-carbon footprint. Check out the video of the brand’s “SMART” line, released last year.
In the ever-evolving landscape of sustainable construction, Neolife emerges as a beacon of innovation with its revolutionary VESTA® cladding range. February 2024 marked the spotlight on this eco-conscious marvel as ArchiExpo’s product search of the month, underscoring its commitment to delivering durable and environmentally friendly solutions for construction projects.
Neolife, a proud member of La French FAB, has carved a niche for itself by offering products proudly stamped “made in France” and bio-sourced. Established in 2012 with a steadfast vision, Neolife aimed to craft a unique eco-material blending the botanical with the mineral, thus presenting construction solutions with minimal environmental footprint.
At the heart of Neolife’s ethos lies VESTA®, a low-carbon material enriched with reclaimed wood fibers. This innovative material is meticulously engineered to offer a sustainable alternative without compromising on performance or aesthetics. Notably, VESTA® boasts an exceptional content of natural wood fibers, sourced ethically from responsibly managed European forests. What’s remarkable is that Neolife ensures a circular approach in its production, refraining from felling trees and instead repurposing pristine wood offcuts.
The environmental consciousness extends beyond production. Neolife’s VESTA® products are not only low-carbon but also naturally low-maintenance throughout their lifecycle. This eliminates the need for environmentally harmful treatments or excessive water usage, aligning perfectly with sustainable construction practices. Moreover, at the end of their service life, these products are fully recyclable, contributing to a closed-loop system where carbon remains sequestered indefinitely.
Neolife’s VESTA® range offers an array of solutions tailored to diverse construction needs. From facade cladding to decorative profiles, each product is engineered to meet stringent quality standards and technical requirements. Endorsed by CSTB’s Technical Appraisal (excluding profiles and terraces), these solutions are designed to comply with contemporary construction demands, staying in line with the evolving RE2020 regulations.
Versatility is a hallmark of Neolife’s offerings. Whether for new constructions, renovations, or off-site projects, their products seamlessly integrate into various architectural contexts, promising both aesthetic appeal and sustainability.
Among their notable products is the Nomad cladding, characterized by its lightweight nature and contemporary design aesthetic. Crafted from VESTA®, this cladding is not only visually striking but also offers exceptional durability and weather resistance, making it suitable for a range of building types, from residential to commercial.
Another standout is the Smart cladding range, which offers a diverse selection of profiles that can be combined to create unique facades. Like all VESTA® products, Smart cladding boasts eco-friendly credentials, ensuring that sustainability is never compromised for style or functionality.
Furthermore, Neolife’s commitment to advancing construction practices extends to digital realms. Through partnerships with platforms like BimObject, they facilitate seamless integration of their products into Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows. Architects and designers can now easily access and incorporate Neolife’s cladding and dressing profiles into their projects using leading software such as Revit and Archicad.
In an era where environmental stewardship is paramount, Neolife stands as a trailblazer, redefining the landscape of construction with its VESTA® cladding range. By offering sustainable solutions without sacrificing performance or aesthetics, Neolife sets a precedent for a greener, more conscientious approach to building for the future.
