CUPACLAD Slate Production

Exterior Phenolic: Trespa

Trespa Meteon is extremely weather resistant. Neither sun, rain - including acid rain - nor moisture have any effect on the surface or the core. Color stability and UV resistance is very high with a 4-5 classification on the International Grey Scale (ISO 105A 02).

Similarly, large or rapid temperature fluctuations do not affect the properties and appearance of the panel. In addition, Trespa Meteon is highly impact resistant due to a favorable combination of flexural strength and elasticity.

Due to the panel surface having a closed structure, dirt doesn't cling, making it very easy to clean. Maintenance is also easy. Neither the surface nor the sawn edges need to be painted or provided with a protective cover.

The fire behavior of the material is excellent as well. It doesn't melt, drip or explode and retains its stability throughout the life of the panel.

Trespa Meteon was specially developed for external application such as: facade cladding, fascia, soffit, balcony panels and balustrades, urban furniture and sandwich panels.

See Trespa on the Waconia High School Project Profile.

Six Myths Surrounding the Building Envelope

Individual components or a preconfigured system? R-values. Fire safety. Sustainability. These and other issues are topics of debate, and often misinformation, among specifiers. This article parses out facts from commonly held beliefs.

Building Science Pseudologoi

Pseudologoi were the personifications, or tangible manifestations, of lies and falsehoods in Greek Mythology. Myths are stories that people know to take as parables, not to interpret literally. But falsehoods are dangerous.
