Frequently Asked Questions

How do facades from Nordisk Profil differ from other facade suppliers?

Basically, it's all about what expectations and quality you as a customer want for your facade.

If you are looking for high quality, tailor-made solutions, a neat installation without visible screws, fire documentation and the best EPD values, then you should consider Nordisk Profil as your façade supplier.

But we're not just your façade supplier. We are also your business partner and always work in close relationships with our customers. This means that we don't just deliver a façade, but also provide advice and professional guidance from the design phase through to project planning and installation.

In other words, Nordisk Profil offers not just products, but complete solutions in facade cladding.

And we guarantee a fireproof, environmentally friendly and modular facade system where quality is always top notch.

With that in mind, choose Nordisk Profil for your facade project.

Can you deliver a facade that meets current fire regulations?

Absolutely - and we've got passive fire protection down to a science!

Our wooden facade, Woodfac, meets the building industry's fire safety requirements; BR18.

We End Use test and document all our facade solutions according to EN 13501-1 and EN 13823. This means that system solutions used in a given project are classification tested and approved.

As the only product on the Danish market, our wood facade system, Woodfac, has been classification tested and passed to B-s1,d0 / B-s2,d0. This applies to lamellae in the wood species; thermo-pine, thermo-ash, thermo-ayous and red cedar.

How do facade systems work?

We like to say that our facade systems are like playing with LEGO.

Partly because:

Our systems can be designed and built in any dimension
You can choose the wood species you want (we have recommendations) and the aluminium colour (powder coating and anodizing) that best suits the building project
Installing our systems is like building with LEGO. Simply, easily and precisely click our lamellae together - with no visible screws or transitions. We are happy to demonstrate for you 😊

I would like to see DWG/PDF drawings of our systems and profiles, where can I find this?

We have all profiles available in DWG format and can send them on request.

But it is not possible to download from our website.

Before you receive this, we would like to talk to you about any wishes and questions you may have. Therefore, please contact us to hear/see more about this.

I would like to explore the possibilities of designing a facade with your solutions. How do I move forward?

We want to give you all the information, drawings and mock-ups you need to see what's possible. We also have design manuals where you can read more.

We are also happy to come by for a non-binding meeting where we can go into detail with our solutions and discuss fire safety requirements etc.

Why can't I find manuals, guides or other product-specific information on the website?

We haven't forgotten to put such information on the website. But since we offer tailor-made products with lots of options, it's important for us to be in dialog with our customers. From here, we can better guide you along the way and send you relevant material.

What dimensions are your lamellae available in?

Dimensions are made project-specific and exactly as you want. We are happy to advise you in regards to available raw materials, to ensure a balance between economy and aesthetics.

‍

What lamella lengths can you supply?

This often depends on the desired wood species. Lengths are customized and optimised for your unique project.

How far can the system stretch?

The possibilities are many and the range depends on the dimensions and types of lamellae required.

How close can the lamella be placed?

Lamellae are placed as desired. All our products are tailor-made and we customize the c.t.c spacing and dimensions according to your unique project requirements.

Are your facade systems suitable for indoor use?

Our systems are designed and developed as an exterior facade system, but can also be used indoors.

Interesting... but what is the price?

As we do not sell standard solutions, we cannot provide a standard price. The price of our solutions depends on the design of the facade - including dimensions, lamellae sizes, choice of materials and any special fire safety requirements etc. Therefore, the price is always project-specific.

Likewise, the raw material prices of our materials can fluctuate greatly, which is why a price also depends on the time of order.

But contact us with your requirements and we'll get back to you with an estimate of possible costs.

Do I consider the climate and the environment when I do business with Nordisk Profil?

You certainly do!

We are very conscious of contributing to a positive and climate-friendly development in the construction industry. That's why we have full control over our value chain and can guarantee products that are a climate-friendly choice in various ways.
