Facades for a Green Future
Steni facade panels are developed with a focus on sustainability, from production to lifespan.
With low environmental impact, outstanding durability, and a 60-year warranty, Steni is a forward-thinking choice that combines aesthetics and functionality with responsibility for our planet.
Long Technical and Aesthetic Lifespan
With a long lifespan and low resource consumption for maintenance, Steni panels are an environmentally friendly choice. The life cycle cost calculation (LCC) (NS 3454:2013) provides a good indication of a product's resource consumption over time. Products from Steni have a low LCC.
We Systematize Reuse
Our facade panels have an expected lifespan of over 100 years, making them initially a great choice for the environment and sustainability.
Now, we have taken it a step further by launching Steni Colour Reuse, a set of standardized facade panels that systematizes reuse. These are facade panels that can be updated and reused after they have served their purpose in a building.

CO₂ emissions
Products from Steni have a low carbon footprint. A life-cycle analysis has been conducted for Steni façade panels and all our panels have an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) in accordance with ISO 14025/ISO 21930/EN15804/. The calculation has been performed and verified by a third party, EPD generator from LCA.no. EPD documents have been approved by EPD Norway.
Waste Management
Steni façade panels are packaged using wood, paper and recyclable plastic. The packaging is adapted so that it can be easily sorted at the construction site. Offcuts / left-over panels can be delivered as general waste for standard waste collection.
