Large buildings designed to host aggregation events, such as cinemas, theaters, auditoriums, churches, and worship halls, must now ensure maximum safety and comfort. NovelloArch has developed a prefabricated panel for roofing large buildings that excellently addresses all necessary performance requirements. It is a prefabricated wooden roof.
The name of this patented innovation is Forza6. It also offers construction advantages, ranging from costs to the time required for roofing construction on-site.
Regarding safety, the primary enemy to tackle is fire. As a prefabricated wooden roof, the stratigraphy of Forza6 is composed of materials with a high degree of fire resistance. The lower layer, which remains visible inside the building, is made of mineralized wood fiber slats, certified as class B-s1,d0 or B-s1,d1.
In terms of comfort, the foremost factor to consider is noise. Enclosed sports facilities (such as basketball courts, indoor pools, or ice rinks), industrial warehouses, or airports are environments where noise reduction is fundamental for comfortable space usage. In other contexts, such as cinemas, theaters, or worship halls, there is not only a need to reduce noise but also to ensure proper sound propagation. The Forza6 prefabricated roof, thanks to the mineralized wood fiber layer made of slats installed with intervals of at least 2.5 cm, not only absorbs a significant portion of the sound waves reaching the roof but also breaks the sound waves, forcing them to bounce within the folds of its stratigraphy, further attenuating them. This results in perfect acoustics in a noise-producing environment.

Another important aspect concerns light diffusion, a critical factor in environments such as large commercial warehouses, supermarkets, wholesale markets, fish markets, gyms, or covered sports fields, where lighting should not mislead athletes or distort spaces intended for commercial activities. Mineralized wood fiber slats eliminate all reflections, providing clear visibility and serving as an excellent contrasting surface. These wood fiber slats are available in a wide variety of colors, allowing them to adapt to the specific functional needs of the buildings they cover, in synergy with lighting systems.
On the NovelloArch page, you can find the BIM 3D models of Forza6, as well as the catalog, technical sheets, and specification information. NovelloArch also provides a specialized technician for any requirements.
