Strong by Form has developed a structural floor piece made of ultralight engineered wood, capable of spanning longer distances than existing engineered wood, making it a potential replacement for steel or concrete.
The product is notable for being lighter than steel, concrete, and existing engineered wood. The construction industry is a significant contributor to global carbon emissions, with the World Green Building Council reporting that it accounts for 11% of global emissions.
“We’re more into hybrid buildings,”
said Andrés Mitnik, co-founder and CEO of Strong by Form, indicating the company's focus on innovative building solutions.
