Using artificial light concept for architects and designers Lighting up the imagination for architects and designers by using artificial light to create imaginative and aesthetically different facades with exterior cladding panels.
Trespa International has launched a new concept of using artificial light
(LEDs) to encourage architects and designers to create imaginative and
aesthetically different facades without changing the character and performance
of Trespa Meteon exterior cladding panels. The Trespa Perspectives Character
concept for Light will be followed later this year by similar concepts
for Depth and Rhythm.
Light is an art form. The ever changing play of sunlight and shadow over a building accents and alters the façade. Now, Trespa has introduced the new concept of combining Meteon panels with Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). ). The Trespa Perspectives Light concept, developed in consultation with a professional lighting partner, is being launched at several major building exhibitions during 2007. Combining LEDs and Trespa Meteon cladding panels is a cost effective and environmentally friendly method of changing the character of a façade in a simple and extremely dramatic way. Trespa Meteon exterior architectural panels are available in a wide choice of different designs, colours and textures. The LEDs are easy to fix and, like Meteon, are highly durable and weatherproof. By using artificial light to accentuate curves, joints and colours, to give shape to shadows and character to spaces and surfaces, interesting new dimensions and effects can be achieved. All the elements combine to create many different interplays between light and cladding. This means that the building, stunning by day, can have an equally stunning but quite different character at night. LEDs can be concealed within the curved or flat panels or hidden behind translucent polycarbonate to complement the solid areas. They have unique properties, such as bright colours, compact size and low power consumption. The lights are UV and infrared free, are easy to use and control, emit little heat and can last for approx 50,000 hours. Single colour LEDs offer warm white, white, blue, green, yellow and red while RGB LEDs offer all the colours in the spectrum. The LED strips are the only elements of the system that are concealed on the exterior. Because only 12volts are required outside, no special regulations about exterior lighting or local government legislation needs to be taken into account. The strips, up to l metre long, can be easily extended by interlinking them with the integral connectors. The Meteon panel is based on thermosetting resin, homogeneously reinforced
with 70% wood fibres and manufactured under high pressure and high temperature.
This results in a panel which is very tough and exceptionally durable,
with dimensional stability and workability similar to hardwood. The smooth,
non-porous surface resists the accumulation of dirt and retains its high
physical performance and appearance in any weather or in extremes of temperature.
The tough impact resistance of the panel means that it cannot easily be
damaged, scratched or abused. It is easy to clean and is unaffected by
cleaning materials.
