NovelloArch specialises in prefabricated wooden roofing designed to address the challenges faced by warehouses and industrial buildings, particularly in environments with high humidity or aggressive conditions. This includes facilities such as food production sites (e.g., butcheries and dairies), chemical industry plants, shipbuilding yards, and large sports venues like swimming pools, ice rinks, spas, and thermal facilities. The issue of excessive noise is also common in many of these settings. Additionally, evolving standards now mandate the use of materials with resistance class 3 (NTC2018) to better cope with humid and aggressive climates.
Meeting this standard, while also addressing noise reduction and fire resistance, can lead to technical challenges where these requirements may conflict with one another. This can complicate both the design process and risk management.
Forza7 is the name of this invention, patented for its unique stratigraphy. Along with meeting the above-mentioned class 3 (NTC2018), it provides outstanding acoustic performance and fire resistance, with panels certified B-s1, d0 or B-s1,b1.

These large panels, measuring 2.5 meters wide and up to 16 meters long, enable very fast and precise installation. This helps reduce time, costs, and construction risks.
The stratigraphy is as follows: the top layer consists of plywood, which is compatible with any insulation package placed above it. The middle layer contains support joists, while the bottom layer features mineralised wood fibre slats. These slats remain visible inside the building and do not require additional finishing, leading to both time and cost savings.

Roofing for large buildings exists in two versions:
- Forza7, for buildings that are humid or have an aggressive climate
- Forza6, for roofs of large public or industrial buildings.
