Vitreous enamel panels are extremely durable and need very little maintenance and cleaning. They will retain their original color and bright finish throughout the normal expected life of the building. Exposure to extreme weather conditions and coastal environments does not affect their performance or appearance.
Vitreous enamel panels are extremely hard-wearing, withstanding many abrasive materials, and will meet scratch resistance to Moh scale 6.
Vitreous enamel panels are totally incombustible, will neither ignite nor burn and will, depending on the design and the nature of the backing materials, provide fire ratings of a min. of two hours. Higher fire ratings can be achieved.
TECO enamel panels are ideal for use in public areas where unwanted graffiti and spray paints can be readily removed.
Vitreous enamel panels are resistant to ultraviolet light and the individual color and finishes will not deteriorate under continuous exposure to sunlight.
Vitreous enamel panels are resistant to all organic solvents and have excellent resistance to atmospheric pollution, corrosion and attack by the great majority of chemicals. They will not rust and are 100% water resistant.
Vitreous enamel panels can withstand rapid cooling by water spray from 400’C to normal room temperatures over a 30 second period.
TECO enamel panels are sterile, germ free, odourless and easy to clean. Combined with their other characteristics and a smooth color fast surface, TECO enamel panels provide unmatched visual appearance.
TECO enamel panels can be made in various shapes, sizes and configurations according to your specific design requirements.
Logos, names and selected graphics can be fired onto TECO enamel panels – these will have the same characteristics mentioned above and will maintain their appearance throughout their life.
