Trespa Meteon for Georges Brassens museum in France

At the new Georges Brassens museum in Sete, France, Trespa Meteon panels were used to create a building envelope which is both aesthetically pleasing and simple in concept. The architects, Cabinet Salvador, have used the panel joints to emphasise the geometry and aligned them with the windows to create length. At night, uplighters enhance the brown natural colours of the façade.

Meteon architectural cladding panels are available in many colours, effects and finishes. The smooth non-porous surface will retain its physical performance and appearance for many years. As a source of inspiration and creativity for architects, Trespa has introduced Perspectives (http://perspectives.trespa.com)to stimulate architects' creativity, with Character, Depth and Rhythm as themed sources of inspiration for innovative shapes, techniques, as well as combinations of colours and materials. Trespa has further deepened these three themes with the concepts of colour, curved elements and light, pushing the limits of creativity even further.

Notes for editors

Trespa Meteon

Trespa Meteon architectural panels are available in an extensive range of different colours, effects and finishes or in specials.

The panels are based on thermosetting resin, homogeneously reinforced with 70% wood fibres and manufactured under high pressure and high temperature. The result is 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 high impact-resistance of the panel means that it cannot easily be damaged, scratched or abused and is very easily cleaned.
