Napsu aluminium facade system

Patented Danish facade system with recycled aluminium lamellae

Napsu is a flexible facade system where aesthetics and functionality merge. The system can be tailored to meet your exact requirements without compromising architectural freedom.

With its simple and modular design, Napsu offers an exclusive solution that supports sustainable and future-proof construction. The lamellae can be designed in different lengths, with variable cc-spacing, and mounted horizontally, vertically or as ceiling and roof cladding. This flexibility ensures that the facade adapts to the building - and not the other way around.

‍

Nordisk Profil delivers a complete solution where both design and technical requirements are taken into account so that the facade meets all expectations. With professional advice and close sparring, we help you realize your facade project - always with a focus on aesthetics, function and quality.

The open
Facade system

Napsu is a Facade solution with clean sharp lines, simple installation, long lifetime and CO2-reducing documentation.

It is an open facade system, similar to Woodfac Click, but with the significant difference that Napsu is aluminium lamellae cladding instead of wood.

The open system provides a fine view of the building's load-bearing facade, making it possible to compose a living architecture created through light, shadows, materials and design.

The system offers corner solutions, various cover profiles, solutions for curved Facades and reinforcement profiles that allow for a large free span both horizontally and vertically.‍

How to install the system

Woodfac Click is an open system with optional timber lamellae on an underlying aluminium structure. With views of the building's load-bearing facade, it is possible to compose a living architecture, created through light, shadow, materials and design.

The system offers corner solutions, various cover profiles, solutions for curved Facades as well as reinforcement profiles that enable large clearances both horizontally and vertically.

Woodfac Click is particularly suitable for cladding parking garages.
The open facade system makes it easy to give parking garages a certain wow effect. Many parking garages are built among beautiful apartment buildings and why not make them as inviting to look at as their environment and surroundings.

With wooden lamellae as cladding, you have the opportunity to construct beautiful and timeless parking garages with a natural and warm appearance that develops a beautiful patina over time.

Woodfac Panel is a closed system that acts as a building envelope. The system consists of optional wooden slats mounted on aluminum panels.

The aluminum panels protect the building from the weather and have an underlying ventilation system that allows the facade to "breathe".

The panel solution includes variable single, double and corner panels with punched holes for facade screws that are hidden when the panels are clipped together.

The system offers a wide range of accessory profiles for finishing and framing doors, windows (glazing profiles) and other facade elements.

Alulamel

The facade system's lamellae, structure and profiles are made from certified recycled aluminium.

Greenline® aluminium is 100% collected and recycled aluminium with a very low carbon footprint of only 1.8 kg_CO2-eq/kg compared to primary aluminium, which has a footprint of 11.1.

Thermal movement

Thermal movement refers to the natural expansion and contraction of materials as a result of temperature changes.

Thermal movement is integrated into all our facade solutions, allowing the individual components of the systems to move individually in relation to each other. This ensures that there are no internal stresses, strains or structural damage in both individual components and as an overall facade solution.

Simple installation

The facade system is a special plug and play system reminiscent of building with LEGO.

With only three components that set up in three phases, Napsu is easy to handle and simple to install.

Optional aluminium lamellae

When Lamellae is anodized, it reinforces and increases the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface, so the material itself creates an extra protective surface. Anodizing allows you to choose different visual expressions, including colors as well as bright, matte or brushed steel. Anodized Lamellae remains elegant for decades and requires no maintenance.
Here is a selection of the most popular colors, but a wide range of other color options are available.

LV020

ES200

ES400

ES600

ES900

Aluminium lamellae can be powder coated in a wide range of colours, patterns and finishes. The powder coating provides a robust and durable surface that protects against corrosion, wear and tear, etc.

Here is a selection of colours, but you are free to choose from all RAL and NCS codes.

RAL 7016

RAL 7008

RAL 7038

Exclusive look and feel

At Nordisk Profil we strive to deliver exclusive Facade solutions that impress through carefully selected materials, elegant design and outstanding functionality.

Everything from lamellae to installation is handled without visible screws, with attention to detail. The result is a crisp and clean finish that is not spoiled by drill holes in the beautiful aluminium lamellae.

Freedom to choose

The diversity, variety and unique architectural designs of buildings add vibrancy and excitement to the cityscape.

At Nordisk Profil, we not only offer 'clean' lamellae solutions, but also the opportunity to play with the design and combine with other materials.

Napsu can be combined with partial solutions and combined with e.g. perforated sheets, expanded metal, trapezoidal sheets, profile sheets, solar panels, green walls etc.

Low carbon footprint and unique lifespan

Using recycled aluminium as the primary material of the facade can be one way to achieve significant carbon savings

Nordisk Profil only uses Greenline aluminium, which is 100% collected and recycled aluminium. It has a very low carbon footprint of only 1.8 kg_CO2-eq/kg compared to primary aluminium, which leaves a footprint of 11.1_CO2-eq/kg.

Greenline aluminium meets the same high demands as primary aluminium, while offering the possibility to install a facade with the best EPD values on the market.

Aluminium facades require no maintenance and have a life expectancy of +70 years. As much as 70% of all aluminium produced is still in its first version.

Lightweight but robust facade

Aluminium is a very lightweight material and has an impressive strength-to-weight ratio compared to other construction metals such as steel.

This means that the entire facade construction is both lightweight and robust at the same time and quite advantageous for buildings where weight reduction is important. At the same time, it also helps with easier handling from delivery to installation.

Aluminium also has a natural ability to resist corrosion such as rust, making the material quite suitable for outdoor use.

Parking garages

Napsu is ideal for combining functionality and design in parking garage cladding.

The open facade system makes it easy to create an architecturally impressive facade that both stands out and blends in with its surroundings. The system allows you to design unique solutions that combine our alu panels with other types of cladding.

We also offer safety guards, INTEGRA-pw, specially developed for parking garages, tested and approved in combination with our facade system.
