A warm facade finished with flexible tiles and decorative cornices is not only about aesthetics and energy efficiency, but also about ease of maintenance. Proper care helps preserve the façade’s appearance for many years without repainting or complex servicing. In this article, we explain how to correctly clean flexible tiles and cornices, which products are recommended, and what should be strictly avoided.
Why Proper Facade Maintenance Is Important
Even the highest-quality facade materials are exposed over time to:
- dust and urban pollution
- rain and snow
- exhaust gases
- ultraviolet radiation
Improper cleaning or aggressive chemicals can lead to:
- surface damage
- loss of decorative appearance
- accelerated wear of the facade
Correct warm facade maintenance allows you to:
- preserve the color and texture of the tiles
- protect decorative elements
- extend the service life of the entire facade system

What You Can Use to Clean Flexible Tiles and Cornices
1. Water and Gentle Mechanical Cleaning
The safest and most recommended method for regular maintenance:
- clean water
- a soft sponge or gentle brush
- microfiber cloth
This method is ideal for removing dust and light dirt.
2. Low-Pressure Washing
The use of the following is allowed:
- low-pressure washers
- garden hoses with a spray nozzle
Recommendations:
- do not direct the jet at close range

💡 Low pressure effectively removes dirt without damaging the surface.

For heavier contamination, you may use:
- pH-neutral detergents
- products without acids or alkalis

Before use, always test the product on a small, inconspicuous area.
