NEWS RELEASE - AUSTRALIA APRIL 2024
Screenwood is proud to announce the launch of MODULO® Group 1 interior tongue and groove lining, an innovative extension to its bestselling MODULO® Group 3 range.
“We specifically designed MODULO® Group 1 to provide top performance in the highest fire rated environments without compromising aesthetics,” says Cameron Nelson Screenwood’s Founder, Director, and Head Product Engineer. “Its technical engineering ensures the same market-leading versatility as our core MODULO® range, empowering the exploration of dynamic sculptural interiors that push the boundaries of what’s possible in contemporary design.”
New MODULO® Group 1 is available in over 30 low VOC, UV-resistant premium NAVURBAN™ finishes. As a result, customers have greater freedom to mix pre-finished Screenwood and NAVURBAN™ products across their interior projects, ensuring seamless surface colour matching for a superior, consistent aesthetic.
“MODULO® Group 1 is made from Aluminium. It’s hollow, lightweight design belies its remarkable strength and durability,” continues Cameron Nelson. “Like all our Screenwood innovations, we designed this product to simplify the lives of designers and builders. It is easier to cut, carry, and curve, and is faster and more cost effective to install – there’s no need for expensive installation and proprietary systems.”
MODULO® Group 1 is pending Global GreenTag certification. It is designed for interior environments where fire safety is paramount, including hotels, clubs, retail, hospitality, education, corporate, aged care, healthcare, and multi-res developments.
