The powerful combinations of the BENG and NOM Element

If you think of the future, you think of a sustainable foundation with the BENG and NOM Element®. Do you go a step further? Then combine the element with a warm BENG or NOM window frame or a stylish tight wood-aluminum window frame. Curious? We catch you up!

The sustainable basis: the BENG and NOM-Element®

Sustainable construction starts with the basics, the construction of the building. Where you have many choices such as concrete and steel, you make a sustainable choice when you choose wood.

Why that's sustainable? At WEBO, we value optimizing our insulation values, also known as RC values. These values of wood frame construction elements indicate exactly how optimal the energy and heat retention of an element is. The higher this value, the more heat and energy retention, resulting in minimal energy loss. With these high values, the elements comply with the well-known BENG and NOM standards. Within WEBO we use an RC value of 4.5 to 5.0 for the BENG element and an RC value of 5.5 to 8.0 for the NOM element.

Not only high RC-values make the BENG and NOM-Element a good sustainable choice, there are numerous advantages!

• Smart storage of CO2
  • Wood is the only building material that stores CO2. Do you build with HSB elements? Then you are contributing to a better living environment.
• Construction time reduction
  • Applying a complete precast HSB element reduces construction time.
• Combination with window frames
  • The power of combination. Will you choose the sustainable addition of BENG or NOM window frames or will you opt for the sleekness of HoutAlu-Kozijnen?
• Air permeability
  • HSB elements can meet very high airtightness qualifications. This prevents energy loss from the building.

"Sustainable and circular, engineered in BIM and minimal lead time. Our prefabricated wood frame elements are ready for any sustainable project."

So are you going for a building that is ready for the future and cares for its environment? BENG and NOM wood frame elements are the solution.

The sustainable addition: the BENG- or NOM-Kozijn®

A highly sustainable choice: the BENG or NOM Element combined with the BENG or NOM Frame. Why?

The benefits at a glance:

• A sleek look on the outside combined with a warm look on the inside.
• Perfect for high-rise projects. Why. As mentioned earlier, the exterior consists of maintenance-free aluminum. Perfect for high-rise projects where you don't want to have to worry about maintenance!
• A U-value of up to 0.64 W/m2, for optimal insulation values. So you are always inside with a pleasant climate, no matter how cold or hot it is outside!
• Domestic wood, this ensures that the HSB elements are constructed from wood from sustainably managed forests.

What combination will you choose?

HSB elements and frames provide not only a sustainable and circular project, but also many living and design benefits. Think of always being in a pleasant temperature at home, even though it is high summer or a harsh winter.

Do you have a special design in mind? HSB elements with a wood finish, a color pattern in the aluminum, you name it... Any combination is possible. So, sustainable builder, have you figured it out yet?
