THE ENGINEERED REVOLUTION

Imagine a material that defies conventional limitations, where exceptional tensile strength of up to 892 MPa meets the refined aesthetics that luxury demands.

At Optek, we create engineered wood stronger than steel, outperforming competitors in structural strength and durability for luxury yacht interiors and home building.

engineered wood - carbon negative – stronger than steel – beyond marine ply

From luxurious yacht interiors and demanding exteriors, OPTek captures teak's elegance without its vulnerabilities.

A high fire resistance leaves the competition in ashes and a 0.4% water-proofing, creates spaces where beauty and safety coexist and will last you a life-time.

This remarkable material actively sequesters 1.8 tonnes of carbon dioxide per tonne produced, transforming waste streams into wealth while reducing the environmental footprint.

Unlike conventional materials that contribute to deforestation and environmental degradation, OPTek creates a positive carbon impact, allowing architects and designers to specify premium performance materials with complete environmental integrity.

The circular economy principles embedded in its production process ensure that every panel contributes to planetary healing rather than harm and high-value carbon credits.

The material's bio-compatible composition ensures safe processing environments, while its dimensional stability prevents the warping and splitting that plague conventional alternatives.

From residential flooring that outperforms hardwood in durability and maintenance to structural beams that revolutionize building efficiency, OPTek's versatility spans every conceivable application.
