Trespa®
Trespa® Meteon® is a rigorously engineered High-Pressure Laminate (HPL) that turns wood-based fibres and resins into a high impact resistant, dimensionally stable building material with an exceptionally high delamination strength. The panels are cured by Trespa’s unique and innovative in-house Electron Beam Curing (EBC) technology to enhance weather resistance and light protecting properties.
The resulting HPL has a homogenous core and is available in four master sheet sizes and thicknesses of 8mm, 10mm and 13mm. For more information regarding sizes, finishes and thicknesses available please download our Trespa Panel Information Sheet below.
Consistent and high density throughout, Trespa® Meteon® holds screws and other mechanical fixings solidly. When machined or face routed the core & edges are as durable as the face. The core colour tone can range from mid to dark grey. The panels have good compressive and tensile strength, excellent pull-out and impact resistance, yet Trespa Meteon is easily workable, colourfast and graffiti proof by nature.
Trespa® Meteon® is available in a wide range of colours and textures and custom colours can be created for larger projects.
GUARANTEE
Trespa® Meteon® panels have a manufacturers guarantee of 10 years and a serviceable life expectancy in excess of 50 years.
BUILDING COMPLIANCE AND TESTING
Trespa® Meteon® has been tested in New Zealand in conjunction with our patented Profix system to:
AS/NZS 4284:2008 Testing of Building Facades
NZBC E2/VM1 Verification Method
And complies with the requirements of B2:LBA Durability Appraisal Report
MANUFACTURING
Trespa Meteon is a decorative high-pressure compact laminate (HPL) with an integral surface manufactured using Trespa’s unique in-house technologies, Electron Beam Curing (EBC) and Dry Forming (DF). The blend of up to 70% wood-based fibers and thermosetting resins, manufactured under high pressures and temperatures yields a highly stable, dense panel with good strength-to-weight ratio’s. This creates an engineered and rigorously fabricated panel product that delivers exceptional performance as it turns wood-based fibres and resins into a highly resistant, dimensionally stable building material.
Sheets consist of layers of wood-based fibres impregnated with thermosetting resins and surface layers of decorative colours on one or both sides. A transparent topcoat is added to the surface layers and cured by Trespa’s EBC to enhance weather and light protecting properties. These components are bonded together with simultaneous application of heat and high specific pressure to obtain a homogeneous non-porous material with increased density and integral decorative surface.
The resulting high-pressure laminate has a homogenous core, meaning the core is as durable as the face and is available in several thicknesses between 8mm and 13mm. Consistent and high density throughout, Trespa Meteon holds bolts, screws, and other mechanical fixings solidly.
TRESPA® BENEFITS
-
Trespa® Meteon® is designed for outdoor applications and is extremely weather-resistant. Both the UV resistance and colour stability are very high with accelerated weathering tests showing a 4-5 classification on the International Grey Scale (ISO 105 A02) for most colours. Sun and rain will have no significant effect on the panel’s surface. The panels are practically impervious to acid rain as well.
Trespa’s longevity has been showcased in our latest campaign showing Trespa® Meteon® samples manufactured in 2011 being compared with those taken from a building constructed in 1988 with very little colour change being noticeable. Ask Décortech today about viewing these samples.
-
The smooth panel surface has a closed non-porous structure, ensuring that practically no dirt accumulates. Trespa® Meteon® requires only annual cleaning making the through-life cost of the panel extremely low when compared with scaffolding and painting costs of alternate cladding solutions.
Trespa® Meteon® helps to create low maintenance exterior applications. The material is robust and nonreactive, so no coatings or protective covers are required for exposed surfaces or machined edges. Its closed, pore-free surfaces of dense HPL practically eliminate dirt accumulation, keeping Trespa Meteon smooth and easy to clean.
Trespa® Meteon® is Graffiti Proof as paint can be easily removed with a standard graffiti remover making it ideal to use on schools, hospitals and public buildings.
-
The modulus of elasticity and high tensile and flexural strength guarantee Trespa Meteon’s high impact resistance making it ideal to use in high use areas. The dimensional stability and workability of Trespa® Meteon®are comparable to those of hardwood, however, when properly installed, Trespa Meteon resists moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, mould and rot. Consistent and high-density throughout, Trespa Meteon holds bolts, screws and other mechanical fixings solidly. The panels have good compressive and tensile strength and excellent pullout and impact resistance, yet Trespa Meteon is easily machinable and workable.
Thanks to its unique properties, Trespa® Meteon® is highly durable, ensuring that façades retain their high aesthetics throughout their life.
Its homogenous, high-density core makes Trespa® Meteon® extremely robust. Under typical conditions, the material stability lasts for many years with negligible performance loss.
-
Trespa® Meteon® panels are perfect for use in innovative and functional ventilated façade systems. Used on its own or as a highlight in combination with other materials, Trespa® Meteon® can determine the look and underline the qualities of a building.
-
Trespa® Meteon®is an extremely versatile material. The panels can be combined easily with other building materials to create one-of-a-kind effects and highlights. With a broad range of colours, finishes and tactile effects, Trespa Meteon brings compelling aesthetic and nearly limitless design possibilities to next-generation architectural claddings.
