Nano-Technology
What is Nano-Technology?
This creates a protective barrier with extremely unique characteristics due to its nano-scale dimensions. Achieved through anodization, where a nanoporous aluminium oxide (AIO3) layer is formed on the surface, which can be further modified with other nanoparticules for specific functionalities.
Nanotechnology is a breakthrough innovation in construction materials, providing a level of protection that extends beyond traditional coatings. Offering enhanced durability, protection, and longevity, our advanced nano-coating technology ensures that our floorboards and decking systems deliver superior performance, making them an ideal solution for architects and designers focused on resilience and sustainability.
Aluwood’s nano-coating is applied during the manufacturing process through a specialized technique that ensures uniform coverage. This guarantees:
✅ Permanent adhesion to the floorboard surface.
✅ Even distribution of nanoparticles for consistent protection.
✅ Optimal durability & benefits

How Nano-Coating Supports Green Building Practices
Nano-coating isn’t just about durability—it’s also an essential part of sustainable architecture. By integrating nano-coated Aluwood floorboards into projects, architects and designers can contribute to greener construction in the following ways:
♻️ Reduces Material Waste:
Traditional floor finishes wear down and require frequent replacement, leading to excess waste. Nano-coating extends the lifespan of Aluwood floorboards, minimizing the need for reinstallation and reducing waste production.
☀️Improves Energy Efficiency:
Nano-coatings enhance thermal conductivity, reducing the amount of energy needed for heating and cooling in buildings. Helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature, lowering energy consumption and reducing the carbon footprint.
🌿 Minimizes Chemical Use:
Conventional floors require harsh cleaning agents that contribute to environmental pollution. With self-cleaning properties, nano-coated floors require fewer chemicals, lowering the ecological impact of maintenance.
Where Nano-Coating Makes a Difference
Nano-coated flooring has the capability to transform a wide range of industries, offering superior protection and long-lasting performance. Here’s how it benefits different environments:
Residential & Commercial Spaces:
- Enhances scratch resistance, protecting floors from furniture movement and daily wear.
- Reduces maintenance costs, making it ideal for homes, offices, and shopping centers.
Hospitality & Retail:
- Ensures high aesthetic appeal with scratch-free, stain-resistant flooring.
- Offers easy-to-clean surfaces, ideal for hotels, restaurants, and retail stores with heavy foot traffic.
Public & High-Traffic Areas:
- In airports, train stations, and commercial buildings, nano-coated flooring maintains durability under extreme use.
- Reduces scuff marks, stains, and water damage, keeping spaces looking pristine.
Sustainable & Green Building Projects:
- Reduces the need for chemical treatments, aligning with eco-friendly construction standards.
- Extends the material lifespan, cutting down on replacement and waste.
Marine Environments:
-
- Provides exceptional corrosion resistance against saltwater exposure.
- Repels moisture and prevents material degradation, extending the lifespan of decking in boats, docks, and waterfront properties.
