Novano cladding features a proprietary color coating system engineered to enhance the performance and longevity of our sustainable composite materials. This two-stage finish begins with an RTS (Ready-To-Use Stain) base coat that fuses to the surface, followed by a Top Coat Sealer that delivers advanced protection against intense UV rays, tropical rain, and surface wear.
Designed specifically for bio-based composite cladding, this system preserves color richness and supports long-term durability in demanding equatorial environments.
The top choice of local architects, Novano cladding profiles feature a precision tongue-and-groove interlocking design that installs seamlessly to create a clean, uniform exterior finish. Each board aligns effortlessly for consistent spacing and a refined, modern appearance, making it ideal for GCBs, condominiums, and commercial facades.
The Novano Lusso profile is a premium architectural cladding board characterised by its modern slatted aesthetic. It features a unique multi-ribbed design that creates the visual effect of thin, parallel flutes with deep recessed gaps, providing striking shadow lines and geometric depth to any exterior wall or balcony ceiling.
Designed for a high-end finish, the Lusso profile is supported by a dedicated Deco Corner accessory. This specialised corner trim is engineered to perfectly seal and wrap around edges, ensuring a polished, professional transition while maintaining the profile’s refined architectural rhythm. Dimension: 3/4″ × 6″ × 12′
The Novano Deco Profile is a precision-engineered architectural solution designed for versatile exterior applications. Featuring a clean, classic shiplap geometry, this profile delivers a smooth, continuous surface with a subtle overlap that ensures a weather-tight building envelope. Its refined finish provides a timeless aesthetic that bridges the gap between traditional timber charm and modern minimalist design.
To achieve a flawless, professional result, the Deco Profile is fully compatible with our integrated Deco Corner accessory. This specialised trim wraps and seals edges with surgical precision, creating a cohesive, high-end transition at every corner while protecting the system’s structural integrity. Dimension: 3/4″ × 6″ × 12′
The Novano Rhombus Siding Profile is an architectural siding solution defined by its sharp, angular geometry. This profile utilizes a distinctive trapezoidal shape that creates deep, bold shadow lines, offering a dynamic 3D effect that changes with the sun’s movement throughout the day. It is the ideal choice for designers looking to achieve a sophisticated, contemporary aesthetic with strong rhythmic patterns.
To ensure a flawless and durable building envelope, the Rhombus profile is fully compatible with our integrated Deco Corner accessory. This precision-fit trim provides a seamless wrap around corners, sealing exposed edges while maintaining the profile’s sharp, geometric integrity. Dimension: 3/4″ × 3″ × 12′
Precision-engineered finishes to provide high-end architectural appeal with a natural touch.
A secure and high-performance choice for residential and commercial building envelopes.
Built to maintain deep colour saturation without the surface greying common in natural wood siding.
A rainscreen system consists of an outer cladding layer, such as Novano Composite Cladding, installed over a moisture-resistant barrier. The defining feature is the ventilated air cavity between these layers. In Singapore’s high-humidity environment, this gap serves two primary functions:
It neutralises wind-driven rain from tropical squalls by equalising the pressure between the exterior and the internal cavity.
It provides a dedicated path for incidental moisture to escape and dry quickly before it can reach the structural wall.
Without proper ventilation, high humidity becomes trapped within the wall cavity, creating a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and structural rot. In traditional installations, trapped condensation causes materials to swell and degrade under the sun. A ventilated rainscreen eliminates these “moisture traps,” ensuring the building envelope remains dry and the internal structural components are protected from long-term decay.
Ventilation within the rainscreen system is a critical strategy for passive cooling in Singapore’s heat.
Bottom Line: A properly ventilated rainscreen is an investment in the building’s future. It prevents moisture-related failures, enhances energy efficiency, and ensures your architectural vision remains pristine for decades in the tropics.

“We selected Novano cladding for its timber appearance, but the real advantage is the minimal maintenance. After a year in a tropical environment, the colour hasn’t changed at all. It was a very practical decision.”
“Used Novano decking in a high-traffic area. Scratches are barely visible thanks to the consistent core colour. It performs exactly as specified.”
“As a Singapore-based architect, Novano gave us the timber aesthetic our client wanted without the durability risks of wood. The material performs extremely well in our tropical climate, and the sustainability documentation made specification seamless.”
