Care & Cleaning
Routine Cleaning
✓ Use warm water with a mild household detergent.
✓ Gently clean using a soft-bristle brush.
✓ Rinse loose debris first with a standard garden hose.
✓ Avoid abrasive pads, scouring tools, or harsh cleaning chemicals.
✓ No specialised cleaning products or equipment are required for regular maintenance.
Spot Cleaning
✓ General Dirt & Debris: Rinse with water, then clean with warm soapy water using a soft brush.
✓ Mineral Deposits (Hard Water Marks): Apply a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water using a soft cloth. Leave for 5-10 minutes if required, then rinse clean.
✓ Oil, Grease & Food Stains: Clean as soon as possible, ideally within 7 days. Rinse, then wash with warm soapy water and gently scrub to remove residue.
✓ Mould & Mildew: Minimise build-up by regularly removing organic debris. Clean affected areas with mild soapy water and a soft brush.
General Maintenance and Inspection
✓ Carry out annual inspections of façade surfaces.
✓ Check for signs of wear, scratches, or mechanical damage.
✓ Localised areas of wear can be lightly sanded and refinished using Novano-approved primer and colour coating systems.
✓ Areas exposed to standing water should be properly sealed using approved coatings.
✓ Refinishing is typically aesthetic and not required for structural performance.
✓ Always use Novano-approved coating systems to ensure full material compatibility.
Care Maintenance in High-Exposure Areas
✓ Areas subject to frequent water exposure, such as façade edges, drainage zones, and roof overhangs, may benefit from additional sealing. Periodic recoating using the Novano-approved colour system can help maintain appearance and reduce localised staining over time.
Safety Instructions & Environmental Guidance
✓ Do not burn Novano materials, as this may release harmful gases.
✓ Store products flat, covered, and in dry, well-ventilated conditions prior to installation.
✓ Avoid strong acidic, chlorinated, bleach-based, or solvent-based cleaners.
✓ Do not use high-pressure washers directly on the surface.
✓ Novano products are fully recyclable at end of life and support responsible material use.
