Pure Delight From Choosing Trespa Pura NFC®

Latest News Wed, Dec 14, 2016 10:59 AM

Discovering Trespa’s high pressure laminate cladding provided the answer to a design conundrum for a stylish new residence on the outskirts of Aberdeen.

Steph Craigie and her husband were looking for something different. So after consulting the local authority planners in the area who wanted the building to be either traditional or more contemporary, rather than a run-of-the-mill suburban design, the couple decided on a contemporary look for their new home. They choose a Scotframe Val-U-Therm kit as the mode of construction and for the external surface treatment the couple selected K-Rend smooth cement render and Trespa Pura NFC® cladding. “The architect’s design called for wood linings and whilst we loved the look we didn’t want the maintenance issue, plus my husband dislikes the grey uneven discolouring of cedar linings,” says Steph Craigie.

A visit to the Grand Designs exhibition in London introduced them to timber-effect cladding but still they could not identify a product that met their needs. “Many hours were spent searching for something suitable and my husband eventually stumbled across the Trespa® product online,” says Steph Craigie. “I called to find the Trespa Pura NFC® product was very new to the UK but we soon had our hands on samples and it was immediately clear to us that this was the product we were looking for.”

They chose Aged Ash, one of six colours available in the Trespa Pura NFC® range. “My husband, and also the joiners who did the installation are very pernickety and so all were delighted with the fixing system that Trespa uses as it ensured that the end result is extremely sharp and precise,” explains Steph Craigie, adding: “It is great to think that this finish will remain the same as it is today for many years to come.”

The quality of the Trespa Pura NFC® product was clear to everyone that handled it while the home was being built. So much so that a family friend of the Craigies who runs a large timber wholesale business has decided to stock it and one of the joiners involved on the house building project also went on to install it in his own home.

Trespa Pura NFC® is made from up to 70% natural fibres, impregnated with thermosetting resins and a non-porous surface engineered to enhance its weather resistant properties. As with all Trespa® products, Trespa Pura NFC® has been tested extensively against weather, impact and UV resistance. For additional convenience and easy maintenance, dirt, stains and splashes simply wipe off. The result? No rot or decay and no need to paint or stain.

From Slate Ebony through to Classic Oak and White Pine, this versatile new range accentuates the shape and style of both modern and traditional buildings. It is suitable for any exterior façade cladding application, and comes cut to size in easy to handle planks that can be laid horizontally or fixed vertically, either side by side or lap style.

Trespa Pura NFC® looks good, performs well, comes pre-packed with a variety of matching components and carries a 10-year Product Guarantee. To request a sample pack, email live@trespa.com
