Combining design and nature, NATIV, the new red cedar door from ZILTEN

Born from the ambition to harness the natural properties of solid wood, NATIV is an exclusive ZILTEN project that combines ecology, aesthetics, and technological innovation. It allows wood to evoke emotion and connect the senses. And what more beautiful species than Red Cedar to achieve this?

SOLID, NATURAL AND RENEWABLE MATERIALS

Native to Canada's West Coast, red cedar is a very fine-grained species that favors beautiful finishes. Naturally resistant to fungi, it has an exceptional longevity. It comes from sustainably managed forests for many years.

The exclusive design of the NATIV door incorporates cork, renowned for its excellent thermal performance, and a hydropanel plate for its sound performance.

CONTEMPORARY DESIGN AT THE SERVICE OF NATURE

The graphic interplay of the wide slats allows the light and the eye to be drawn to the unique material of each part of the door. Over time, the appearance of NATIV will evolve harmoniously. The stainless steel hardware pieces were specially created to reinforce the unique character of NATIV.

The ash and amber color nuances and the brushed surface reveal the true solid nature of the wood and the authenticity of the "red cedar". Indoors, the colorless, smooth finish lets the wood speak for itself.

3 UNIQUE MODELS

The Nativ range was launched with 3 models in June 2011. They are available in 5 standard widths (80/90/100/110/120 cm) and from 205 to 215 cm in height. The addition of a fixed frame or a glass transom is also possible to provide additional light.

EXCEPTIONAL TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE

Both rigid and flexible, wood fibers provide natural insulation against cold and noise. With a Ud value of 1.2 W/(m².K) , NATIV offers excellent insulation. The 84 mm thickness of the sash makes it one of the thickest on the market. Acoustic comfort has not been overlooked; the NATIV range boasts a Ra,tr coefficient of 32(-0;-2) dB.

A PROGRAM LAUNCH

The release of NATIV is the subject of a special 16-page documentation composing a graphic universe specific to this range with numerous images (atmosphere, technical cut, details, etc.). An environmental index measuring the impact of NATIV doors on the environment will be associated with each door. This display will be available in November on all models.

At the end of June, a mini website dedicated to NATIV will be published with a large space given to the image: new atmospheres, 360° section of the door, numerous details - contact interface and communication on the ZILTEN brand.

And soon 3 new models on BATIMAT.

In June 2011, the holding company "Financière Bel'M", known for the name of its flagship brand Bel'M, became CETIH - La Compagnie des Equipements Techniques et Industriels pour l'Habitat.

"This development confirms our group's desire to no longer be majority-owned by financiers," explains Yann Rolland , president of the CETIH group . "The CETIH name reflects the spirit of collaboration and collective work dedicated to manufacturing quality products. This will make it clearer that our company is opening itself up to other stakeholders involved in the creation of the home, and developing several brands with complementary strategies."

The Compagnie des Equipements Techniques et industriels pour l'Habitat - CETIH, now includes Bel'M, Zilten , CID, MTN and NOVATECH EUROPE, complementary brands dedicated to the world of the home.
