Trespa is a versatile and durable material valued worldwide in the construction and interior design sectors. It is mainly used for cladding, wall panels, worktops and even furniture. What makes Trespa so attractive is not only its aesthetic variety, but also its robustness and the low maintenance it requires. Whether you want to clad an exterior wall or furnish a kitchen worktop, Trespa offers countless possibilities. But as with any material, it is important to know how to keep it clean and in top condition so that it retains its quality and appearance.
Why is Trespa so popular?
Trespa is made of High Pressure Laminate (HPL), which means it is composed of several layers of paper and synthetic resin under high pressure. This makes it particularly strong, scratch-resistant and resistant to harsh weather conditions. It is therefore ideally suited for outdoor use, for example for building cladding. But Trespa is also an excellent choice in indoor environments, such as worktops or wall panels, as it is resistant to wear and tear and dirt. Moreover, it is available in numerous colours and textures, making it adaptable to almost any style.
Combining aesthetics and functionality, Trespa is used in many commercial and residential applications. Whether in schools, hospitals, offices or homes, Trespa can maintain its value year-round without requiring much maintenance.
Maintenance and cleaning of Trespa
Although Trespa is known for its low maintenance, it is still important to take good care of the material to prolong its lifespan. In principle, cleaning Trespa is quite simple, but there are some guidelines that will give the best results. Most importantly, avoid harsh cleaning agents or abrasive materials that can damage the surface.
Cleaning usually starts with a simple mixture of water and a mild detergent, such as Super plastic cleaner. This is often enough to remove daily dirt, dust and stains. Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently wipe away the dirt, and rinse the surface well with clean water. This will prevent residue from the Super plastic cleaner remain behind, which can cause staining over time.
Stubborn Stains
Although Trespa is naturally resistant to dirt and stains, stubborn stains can occasionally appear, especially on surfaces that are used intensively. Grease, oil or ink, for example, can be more difficult to remove, but fortunately there are some methods to tackle these stains effectively.
For grease or oil stains, you can use a special grease solvent such as the Super Industrial Cleaner. Apply this to the stain and let it soak in for a while. After a short soaking time, you can easily wipe away the stain with a soft cloth. If you are dealing with ink stains, you can use the Super Industrial Cleaner good use. Gently dab the stain with a cloth dipped in the cleaner, and the ink should disappear.
For lime deposits or water spots, a mixture of vinegar and water can help. The acidic properties of the vinegar will dissolve the lime, after which you can rinse the surface with clean water. It is important to dry the surface well after cleaning to avoid water spots or streaks.
Mould or Algae on Outdoor Surfaces
Trespa used outdoors, such as façade panels, can become affected by mould or algae over time, especially in humid climates. It is important to address this quickly, as mould is not only aesthetically unpleasant, but can also be harmful to health.
Mould and algae can be effectively removed with a special cleaner such as the Super Green Sludge Remover that is designed for outdoor surfaces. These agents often contain a combination of ingredients that break down mould and algae and disinfect the surface. An alternative solution is a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water. Apply this mixture to the affected areas and let it soak in for a while. You can then lightly scrub the surface with a soft brush and rinse it well with water.
Why Trespa is so low-maintenance
Trespa has the advantage that the material naturally does not require much maintenance. Being resistant to UV rays, temperature fluctuations, rain and wind, it does not require frequent cleaning or treatment. This is particularly important for outdoor use, where the material is constantly exposed to the elements. Unlike other materials, such as wood or some metals, which can weather or rust over time, Trespa retains its shape and colour for years, even after prolonged exposure to the weather.
Moreover, Trespa is easy to maintain as it does not require paint or varnish. The surfaces can simply be cleaned with water and Super plastic cleaner, without the need for special treatment or periodic maintenance. This makes Trespa ideal for projects where long-term aesthetic consistency is important, without having to spend a lot of time and money on maintenance.
