With up to 75% natural fibres, the German Compact Composite (GCC) wood composite takes sustainable building to the next level – and this is evident in the new Lindner Life Stereo_GCC glass partition.
Well-known Partition System, Improved Sustainability
The established Lindner Life Stereo 125 glass partition is evolving with the times, following the trend towards environmentally friendly circular construction. Now available under the name Lindner Life Stereo_GCC, the glass wall comes in an even more sustainable version. Instead of aluminium, the Lindner Group has opted for a frame made of GCC – a wood composite with a globally unique high proportion of natural fibres. While the material changes, the construction remains the same – the glazing is still mounted on the sides of the wall frame as before.
But What Makes GCC So Sustainable?
GCC (German Compact Composite) contains up to 75% natural fibres in its base formulation, sourced from waste from the planing and sawing industries. Rather than being incinerated, the fibres in GCC material are given a second life, contributing to long-term carbon storage. The wood waste is shredded in a patented manufacturing process and mixed dry with recycled plastic, binders and dyes. The mixture is then pressed under high pressure into the required shape, creating the strong, durable frame of the Lindner Life Stereo_GCC.
Sustainability, Aesthetics, and Functionality Combined
As a double-glazed system, the Lindner partition provides separation and transparency in all rooms. The slate-grey oiled GCC timber frame accentuates the elegant, light-filled character of the space. Optionally, the screen can be combined with Lindner Plus organisation solutions or electric blinds for added privacy. The system's user-friendly design also allows for quick installation and easy dismantling. As a result, the GCC is not only fully recyclable after its first use, but can also be reused on a one-to-one basis.
With the Lindner Life Stereo_GCC, Lindner has created a product that combines cutting-edge aesthetics and maximum functionality with even greater sustainability: ideal for offices, industry and research.
