Sustainability is central to Modofire’s approach to exterior fabrications. We are committed to creating exceptional outdoor spaces while minimizing ecological impact. This commitment begins with material selection. From enduring metals like steel, corten, copper, and aluminum to responsibly sourced woods such as ipe and teak, every choice reflects both performance and environmental responsibility. We also explore innovative options like Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC), recycled concrete, and proprietary composites that expand what is possible in sustainable design.
Strength and Recyclability of Metals
Metals are foundational to our work, providing strength, structure, and timeless appeal. Steel delivers unmatched durability and is highly recyclable, helping reduce waste and conserve resources. Aluminum offers the advantage of being lightweight yet strong, with recyclability that supports a circular economy. Copper adds visual richness, evolving gracefully with age. Each of these metals extends the lifespan of our fabrications while reducing environmental impact.
Sustainable Woods for Beauty and Responsible Sourcing
Natural woods bring warmth and character to outdoor spaces. Modofire works with ipe and teak, both known for durability and weather resistance. These woods are sourced from responsibly managed forests where harvesting practices protect ecosystems and biodiversity. By choosing them, we honor both the visual beauty of natural materials and the importance of responsible forestry.
Innovative Concrete Formulations and Long-Lasting Materials
Concrete has long been valued for strength, and Modofire takes it further with modern formulations. GFRC combines concrete and glass fibers for a lighter, stronger composite that allows intricate shapes and textures. We also use dry cast, wet cast, and advanced proprietary mixes from leaders such as PebbleTec and Trueform Concrete. These materials are engineered for longevity, weather resistance, and design flexibility. Stainless steel and other long-lasting elements are integrated where needed, ensuring both performance and refined appearance.
A Commitment to Lasting Impact
Modofire’s material choices reflect a balance of sustainability, innovation, and craftsmanship. Every fabrication is designed not only to endure but to inspire, blending environmentally conscious practices with exceptional quality. By rethinking the role of materials in exterior design, we continue to push boundaries and set new standards for sustainable fabrications that enrich both spaces and the environment.
