Innovation means to fully focus on progress. For Armin Junghanns, Head of Application Engineering and Training at megawood®, this is his mission in life.
He enthusiastically shows us around the rooms of the Lindenhof in Aschersleben. He constantly points out many objects that have already been manufactured from megawood® as single pieces or in small production runs.The Lindenhof is NOVO-TECH's seminar hotel and demonstrates the many ways in which this innovative wood-based material can be used both indoors and outdoors.
The opportunities are almost limitless. The material combines the naturalness of wood with the resistance and flexibility of polymers", says Mr Junghanns. The furniture at Lindenhof, which doubles up as an inspiring training centre for tradespeople and laying technicians, also proves that a board does not always have to be square. Whatever you like is allowed. The Lindenhof opens a window into the near future - Armin Junghanns continues to develop.
His ideas are subjected to the acid test of everyday life at Lindenhof. "A product will only be available for you to enjoy at home once we are 100% satisfied with it."
He also promises this in terms of the ecological aspect of the material and adds: “No trees will be cut down for us!“
Particular care was taken during all the renovation work to ensure that the hundred-year-old trees did not have to make way - they were integrated directly into the architecture and are now permanent residents of the Lindenhof.
We also pay attention to sustainability when it comes to the raw materials we use. From the very beginning, we have only used wood shavings from the planing and sawing industry. The wood fiber is therefore not destroyed by burning as pellets, but is fed into a material recycling cycle. As a component of our ecologically sustainable wood-based material, it is used several times in the manufacture of new megawood products.
Home comfort
In addition to the raised garden beds, facades and fences, it goes without saying that Lindenhof also boasts the most diverse of barefootboards. The SIGNUM terrace deck is a real eye catcher. The residents of the small village like sitting there on the megawood
® benches in order to enjoy the evening Sun. "The surface structure of the floorboards really come into its own thanks to the alternating light and shade", explains Armin Junghanns who is already looking forward to a cosy family evening on his megawood
® terrace.
