Unmatched Beauty and Durability NOVA With NOVA you can choose pre-finished options tailored to your exact specifications. Choose from clear, translucent, opaque and printed finishes. Gloss levels include satin, medium, high or custom. Precise custom color matching is also available. NOVA SI NOVA SI brings together the beauty of natural, eco-friendly hardwood with the science of antimicrobial silver ions to reduce the risk of infection from E. coli, staph and other environmental pathogens. NOVA SI is infused with inorganic silver ions, which are proven to inhibit microbes, pathogens and bacteria. The silver ions permeate the wood finish to create a self-decontaminating coating. In the presence of moisture, silver ions are released, disrupting cellular respiration and preventing the spread of bacterial contaminants. It works naturally and continuously, making it ideal for protecting patients, students, customers and families from the unseen hazards covering the surfaces we touch every day.
