Advantages of crepi in different colours

Each color choice offers unique benefits. Here are some practical points to consider:

• Easy maintenance: Some colours, such as earth tones, are more resistant to dirt and require less frequent cleaning.
• Longevity: Light colors retain their brightness longer, while dark colors may be more susceptible to UV fading.
• Camouflage: Earth tones effectively mask stains and dirt, making them ideal for rural and busy environments.

How crepi colours affect your energy costs

Sustainability is an important point of attention when choosing the right facade finish. The choice of crepi colour can have a direct influence on the energy efficiency of your home:

• Light colours: Reflect sunlight and help keep your home cool during hot summer days.
• Dark colors: Absorb heat, which is beneficial in colder climates as it can improve the insulation of your home.

Tip: Combine the right colour with facade insulation for an energy-efficient home and improve the EPC value of your home.

Common mistakes when choosing crepi colours

When choosing crepi colours, a few pitfalls can influence your final choice. Avoid these common mistakes:

• Not taking the environment into account: A color may look beautiful on the sample, but not fit in with the surrounding buildings or environment.
• Not testing: Colors can look drastically different in natural light or shadow. Testing a color on your facade is essential.
• Only going for trends: Fashion trends change quickly. What is popular now may not be as attractive in a few years.

How do you maintain the colour of your crepi facade?

Crepi is known for its durability, but maintaining the color requires regular maintenance. Follow these tips to keep your facade in top condition:

• Cleaning: Use mild detergents to remove dirt. Pressure washers can damage the plaster, so be careful.
• Protection: Our Lotusan® Coating is the solution to keep your facade clean and protected for longer. Thanks to the unique properties of this coating, dirt does not stick to the surface and is easily washed away when it rains.
• Professional maintenance: Have your facade professionally cleaned and inspected every few years to prevent damage and discoloration.
