Reframing Wall Panel Choices Around Cost and Safety


Rising concerns over fire safety in residential and commercial design



As cities grow more crowded, keeping buildings safe from fire is a bigger worry than ever. Outdoor wall panels in high-rise apartments, schools, hospitals and office buildings must comply with strict fire regulations But many usual wall panel choices either don't meet these strict standards or cost so much that people have to give up on looks or strength.

Budget constraints often lead to compromise—but not with NovAScend wall panels


For a long time, picking between saving money and getting strong fire protection meant losing something. Now, that's not true anymore. NovAScend wall panels give top-notch safety without making projects too expensive. Whether you're a homeowner or a builder, NovAScend wall panels changes what you can expect from house wall panels.

Meet NovAScend Wall Panels The Next-Gen Fire-Resistant

Composite Wood Wall Panel Materials


More Than Just WPC – A New Class of Safety


NovAScend wall panel is made of composite wood,but it stands out with new innovation, being light, and following new trends. Regular wood plastic composite (WPC) panels mainly focus on resisting water and lasting long.

But NovAScend wall panels goes further by making safety a top priority.


It's made with special flame-blocking features to meet tough safety rules. These panels use MexyTech's unique fireproof formula, ensuring they pass even the strictest regulations.

Achieves EN13501 B-s3,d0 rating—higher than traditional WPC panels


The product, NovAScend wall panels, in relation to its reaction to fire behaviour is classified: Fire behaviour Smoke production Flaming droplets Bs3,d0.


This means it produces low smoke (s3), emits no flaming droplets (d0), and maintains structural integrity under heat exposure—making it one of the safest non-metallic options available for modern construction.

Explanation of fire test performance: no flaming droplets, low smoke, moderate THR


In tests done under EN 13501-1:2018 rules:

Flaming particles or droplets (Yes/No): No

SMOGRA (m2/s2): 177.5

THR600s (MJ): 5.7

These results show NovAScend wall panels is great at controlling heat and smoke—two big factors that help people escape safely during a fire.

Ideal for high-density housing, schools, and commercial projects needing fire code compliance


Thanks to its solid performance in fire tests, NovAScend wall panels works well in places with lots of people, like apartment buildings, schools, hospitals, and shopping centers. It meets fire safety needs reliably.

Lower insurance risk = long-term savings


By reaching the high B-s3,d0 safety level, buildings using NovAScend wall panels may get lower insurance costs. This is because they're less risky. Over time, this saves money and adds up.

NovAScend vs. Metal Wall Panels: Affordable Protection Without the Heavy Trade-Offs


Metal: fireproof but expensive, prone to dents, noisy, and thermally conductive


Metal wall panels are often seen as the best for fire safety. But they have big downsides. They cost a lot to buy. They dent easily. They don't block sound well. And they let heat or cold pass through.

NovAScend wall panels: lower upfront cost, better sound insulation, no corrosion, safer in lightning storms


NovAScend gives a well-rounded answer. It offers strong fire protection at a much lower price than metal panels. Its composite design naturally quiets sound better than metal sheets. Plus:

It's 20% lighter than usual materials! This cuts down on time, labor, and shipping costs with ease.
Being non-metal makes it safer during storms with lightning. It also never rusts, so there's no worry about corrosion.

Minimal maintenance: no rust, no flaking, no repainting


Unlike metal panels that might need repainting or rust fixes:
A strong ASA layer gives UV protection, weather resistance, and keeps colors bright. This means your walls stay nice without extra work, even in harsh weather.

NovAScend vs. Stone and Tile: Smarter Value for Safer Spaces


NovAScend Is More Cost-Effective


Natural stone and ceramic tiles often come with high material and installation costs due to their weight and fragility. NovAScend offers a lightweight alternative with similar aesthetic appeal but at a much lower total project cost.

Faster, Safer Installation with NovAScend


Unlike heavy stone and tile that require reinforced support and skilled labor, NovAScend panels can be installed more quickly and with fewer tools. This reduces labor time and minimizes breakage or waste during construction.

Better Fire Protection at a Lower Price


While tile can resist heat, it doesn't meet structured fire rating standards like EN13501. NovAScend achieves a certified B-s3,d0 rating—delivering real fire safety compliance for modern building codes without inflating the budget.
