20 October 2025Why Choose an Open Facade System?
In modern architecture, the facade is more than just a protective shell, it’s a statement of design, sustainability and functionality. Open facade systems like Woodfac Click and Napsu, developed by Nordisk Profil and delivered by Nordic Facades, offer a compelling blend of aesthetics and performance that make them ideal for a wide range of building types.
- Architectural Freedom
Open facade systems are designed to adapt to your vision, not the other way around. With modular components and flexible mounting options, architects can create dynamic designs that play with light, shadow and texture. Whether you’re working with wood or aluminium lamellae, the possibilities are endless.
- Visibility & Light
These systems allow partial visibility of the building’s load-bearing structure, creating a sense of openness and depth. This transparency enhances natural light flow and contributes to a more vibrant and “living” architectural expression.
- Sustainability at the Core
Both Woodfac Click and Napsu are built with sustainability in mind. Woodfac Click uses FSC ® or PEFC™ certified wood treated with Burnblock ® - a natural, non-toxic fire retardant. Napsu systems are created with 100% recycled Greenline aluminium. These materials ensure a low environmental footprint and long-term durability.
- Fire Safety & Durability
Safety is paramount. All wooden lamellae are treated with Burnblock® and are fire tested and approved according to European standards, and are durability certified under EN 16755. Napsu solutions meet strict climate requirements and are built to last, with a lifespan of 30-50+ years and minimal maintenance needs.
- Versatility in Application
From residential buildings to parking garages, open facade systems offer solutions for curved surfaces, corners and large spans, both horizontally and vertically. Their clean lines and customisable profiles make them suitable for both new builds and renovations.
- Easy Installation
All Nordisk Profil systems are designed for quick and efficient installation. With just a few components and steps, you can achieve a high-end architectural finish without complex construction processes.
Open facade systems like Woodfac Click and Napsu redefine what’s possible in exterior design. They combine beauty, sustainability and performance, making them a smart choice for architects and developers who want to create buildings that stand out and stand the test of time.
