Innovation dedicated to design - Novik® unveils NovistoneDS, an innovative new panel with a modern flair Français
QUEBEC CITY, QC, April 24, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - The siding and roofing specialists at Novik® are proud to present their new NovistoneTMDS-Dry Stack Stone siding, designed with the look and feel of a dry stack stone wall.
NovistoneTMDS is a lightweight panel that installs quickly and easily. This "do-it-yourself" product requires minimal tools and installation time, making it a less expensive option to masonry work. It is twice as thick and more durable than vinyl siding, and it can be used both indoors and out.
"With our new Dry Stack Stone panel, we are improving our market position and getting ready to conquer new markets. The previously underserved interior decoration market has welcomed this new product with open arms, for both its practical and its economic advantages over real stone," said Michel Gaudreau, chairman of the board at Novik®.
Elegant and refined, this product pairs equally well with contemporary, urban or traditional styles. Dry Stack Stone lends itself to a vast range of uses both indoors and out, such as facades, interior courtyards, foundations, hot tub edging, low walls, flower boxes, living rooms, bathroom walls and more. No wonder it is so in demand! Boasting a palette of ten popular shades developed with designers and colourists, an amazing texture and the look of natural stone, this product is the ideal architectural material.
For new construction or renovations, residential or commercial, Novik®'s new Dry Stack Stone suits all sorts of décors, from a restaurant dining room to a hotel lounge, and from the back yard to the house's facade.
Innovation as a growth engine

The Innovations Pavilion is representing ten Quebec businesses in two international shows. These businesses have distinguished themselves with new innovative products in 2013.
