(Czech private limited company, headquartered in Ptení, Czech Republic), manufactures and sells a comprehensive cross-laminated timber (CLT) building system. The product portfolio spans ten distinct lines: SOLID (CLT wall panels), ELEMENT (hollow ribbed ceiling/roof panels using up to 2/3 less wood than solid CLT), OPEN (diffusionally open KVH-beam-and-panel elements), ACOUSTIC (CNC-perforated acoustic panels in nine profiles), STATIC (five-layer roof overhang panels), SWP (three-layer solid wood panels with ALTHOLZ and DOOR variants), CLT STANDARD (structural panels launched June 2024), EASY BOARD (tongue-groove-chamfer panels), FACADE (exterior cladding), and NOVATOP by Ennobled (Deep Charred® Yakisugi-treated panels). All products are manufactured from dried spruce slats layered at 90° angles, glued with polyurethane adhesives, and custom-engineered to project specifications before being shipped directly to construction sites for crane assembly.
The company sells through direct sales to construction companies and via architectural specification channels, targeting architects, structural engineers, and construction firms primarily across Europe, with reference projects in Switzerland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, France, Poland, Great Britain, Germany, Spain, Italy, Austria, Norway, Croatia, and Belgium, plus international projects in South Korea, Japan, and Canada. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with no public price list.

Products and services
- NOVATOP SOLID Large-format cross-laminated timber solid wall and partition panels for residential, commercial, and public buildings. Standard panels made of cross-laminated spruce slats with sophisticated joint processing, window and door openings, and individual adjustments; available in visual (B) or non-visual (C) quality grades. ETA-17/0004 certified.
- NOVATOP ELEMENT Hollow, large-format ribbed panels for structural ceilings and roofs combining low weight with very high static load-carrying capacity (up to 2/3 less wood than solid CLT panels). Cavities can be fitted with thermal or sound insulation or distribution routes for installations. Panels can span up to 12,000mm in length. ETA-11/0310 certified.
- NOVATOP OPEN Custom-made elements combining KVH beam dimensioning with multi-layer solid panels (SWP) for diffusionally open wall and roof structures. Bottom bearing multilayer panel with KVH/DUO/TRIO/BSH/I-girders; thermal insulation can be added in production or on site. Maximum format 12,000 x 2,450mm. ETA-15/0209 certified.
- NOVATOP ACOUSTIC Perforated three-layer solid spruce acoustic panels CNC-machined into profiles (Marilyne, Sonata, Lucy, Domino, Suzanna, Giulia, Tina, Beata, Mikado). Completed with absorbers and accouplements for room acoustic solutions. Available in multiple wood species and veneer options including oak radial and tangential.
- NOVATOP STATIC Five-layer panels developed specifically for resolving roof overhangs and bridging large spans. High stability in compressive and tension stress with extreme static load capacities. Available in L (longitudinal) and Q (transverse) fibre direction variants.
- NOVATOP CLT STANDARD Structural large-format cross-laminated timber panels for horizontal and vertical construction. Made from dried spruce lamellas (12-14% moisture) with odd number of layers (3, 5, 7) at 90-degree angles and PU glue. Non-visual quality, with optional glued 3-layer panel for visual quality and fire resistance. Launched June 2024.
- NOVATOP SWP Three-layer panels made of dried coniferous sawnwood (spruce, larch, fir) with middle layer rotated 90° relative to outer layers for dimensional stability. Standard thicknesses from 13mm to 60mm. Available in various quality grades with multiple wood species and surface treatments. Includes ALTHOLZ (vintage/old wood) and DOOR (multi-layer panel for door production) variants.
- EASY BOARD Three-layer panels with tongue, groove, and chamfered edge imitating modern visual CLT panels for interior cladding and covered exterior applications. Wide range of finishes including brushing, drilling, milling, and glazing. Cross-glued composition eliminates twisting and bending.
- NOVATOP FACADE Three-layer facade panels with tongue and groove for exterior applications. Made of Nordic spruce dried to 8±2%. 27mm thickness with AB/C quality; horizontal and vertical formats. Optional brushing and Adler Lignovit Platin glaze with metallic glittering effects in Quartzgrau, Achatgrau, Topasgrau, and Pyritgrau colours.
- NOVATOP by Ennobled Three-layer spruce panel with ENNOBLED Deep Charred® surface treatment based on traditional Japanese Yakisugi method. Charred layer 2-3mm thick at approximately 900°C creates a natural protective barrier. Available in exterior and interior formats with surface types Spruce Sunburned, Modern Brown, Summer Gray, Great Black, and Carbonized. Co-developed with Austrian company Ennobled GmbH.
