Exterior Cladding

Maintenance
Maintenance as described in the George Wimpey At Home Homeowners Guide;
 * The Trespa panels are easy to clean and can be washed using an extendable squeegee and fluid delivery system and using ionic water helps to reduce any dust attracting static. Annual cleaning is recommended.
 * Do not use jet wash/water spray systems on the panels.
 * Harsh abrasives, brushes or strong detergents should not be used.
 * Metal articles should not be left in contact with the cladding as staining may result.
 * The Trespa panels must not be painted or stained (note: existing panel colours have been approved by the local planning authority)
 * As part of its normal weathering process the cedarwood cladding will weather to a grey colour over time if left untreated.
 * The cedarwood cladding may be stained but should not be painted. The recommended products for translucent coatings can be found at Sikkens. For further information, please refer to the booklet “Designed with the environment in mind ”

Scratch repair
Although any scratches to the surface of the Trespa panels will not affect the longevity of the panels these can be touched up with acrylic paint which Trespa will supply a small amount of FOC, and is just for covering up scratches so they are less noticeable it has no texture and the gloss level maybe slightly different to the panel; it does not invisibly mend, just helps blend the damaged area in so it is less prominent.
