Lingrove

Lingrove is a materials technology innovator that manufactures ultra-sustainable, healthy, carbon-neutral and high-performance products for our built environment and mobility.

ekoa® is an elegant and Earth-friendly solution to replace laminates and veneers with a luxury sustainable option. Made of flax and plant resins, ekoa® is a natural fiber composite (NFC) which is a fancy way of saying composites made from the fibers of plants.

ekoa® Surface comes made for two different industries: A&D and mobility. These two product lines have different resin systems and different performance attributes. Click to learn more about ekoa® Surface for A&D or ekoa® Surface Auto.

Our eco-veneers for A&D can be used for wall protection, wall covering, ceilings, and millwork. We also can deliver 4’x8’ in any standard thickness, on any core, with or without edge banding for use in millwork, casework, and fine finishes.

Our ekoa® Surface Auto is designed for interior applications in vehicles and transportation. This is a product that is designed to replace wood veneer or even carbon fiber in the compression molding manufacturing processes. 

• Luxury look: A rich natural grain finish adds timeless style to walls, entrances, ceilings, and all cabinetry and millwork.
• Healthy air: Our product is certified for Clean Air Gold, delivering healthy interior environments, free of carcinogenics or odor.
• Sustainable: Our flax based product is ultra-sustainable, clean, and low carbon.
• Performing: ekoa® is highly durable; scratch, abrasion, and impact resistant; easily cleaned (including with bleach); and has independent testing to W-102 Type III and KCMA standards.* The benefits are more than skin deep with lighter-than-carbon fibers of superlative strength and damping properties. For the first time, composites enter the realm of designer materials with an authentic natural grain look made from long flax fibers.

ekoa® surface for Auto can bend around a minimum of 3mm diameter curves. 

For interior A&D applications and corners, we recommend that your expert millworker deliver a corner solution. ekoa® is not design to wrap around 90 degree corners in the built environment but to be cut.

Our products are:

• Veneer sheets – 4’x8’
• Panels – 4’x8’ with any standard core, in any standard thickness.
• Rolled veneers – 48″x100′
• Edgebanding

Thickness is about .027″. You can see our full product specifications for ekoa® A&D here and for ekoa® Auto here.

• a sample swatch kit
• a sample panel in 8″x8″
• 4’x8’ eco-veneer sheet.

• HPD
• Clean Air Gold
• We are Red List Free and Prop 65 compliant
• PFAS free

ekoa® Surface features an in-laminate finish which acts as an effective moisture barrier for regular use throughout the home and office. As with any natural veneer, the edges should be sealed after application.

For more extreme performance or horizontal applications, we recommend coatings. These installation guidelines are available for licensed architects, designers, millworkers or other A&D professionals.

Absolutely, and depending on the application we likely have a solution for you! Get in touch with any questions about your project!

Our professional products have a flexible cellulose backing that is designed to be used with wood glue (PVA), wall covering adhesive, or a laminate of your choice. By special order, we can deliver a Peel N’ Stick adhesive backing, requiring no extra adhesive.

The answer depends on which adhesive you are using. Some wall covering adhesives are reposition-able, at least initially. As with any veneer or laminate, though, plan on getting it right the first time. Measure twice, appy once. The Peel N’ Stick version of ekoa® ecoveneer is not designed to be moved or removed.

We take care to package your ekoa® to ensure that there is no damage. Large orders ship in crates. For small orders, ekoa® Surface veneer rolls or sheets will be shipped rolled in boxes; and panels will be padded and wrapped.

ekoa® was designed to be durable, high performing, and refinishable, with the intent of products that are kept in service as an heirloom. If, someday, your ekoa® application needs to be taken out of service, an industrial regrind process will turn it into an input for new composites products.
