PLASTERED FACADES

The impact of climate change on our environment is becoming increasingly significant. If summer is tormented by heat, winter is bitterly cold. Building facades are also affected by these dramatic temperature fluctuations, so facade insulation is an important part of the protection measures.

Façade insulation is a specialised area of construction. Proper façade insulation can significantly reduce heating costs, prevent condensation in the internal structures of a building and achieve good sound insulation.

Currently, a new method of insulating and protecting external walls, the so-called “wet” façade, is at the forefront of construction and finishing technologies. Lime mortars, which previously had no real competitors in the field of façade cladding, are now being replaced everywhere by non-ventilated façade systems. Builders refer to non-ventilated facades as ‘wet’ or non-contact facades. Wet facades are cheaper than ventilated facades because painting or plastering are among the most cost-effective ways of finishing buildings.

BENEFITS OF THERMAL INSULATION FOR EXTERNAL FACADES

Plastering; (Thermo Max; Kreisel; Baumit; Ceresit etc. systems and technologies)

Ventilation;

PROVIDING MULTI-LAYER FAÇADE INSULATION SYSTEMS:

  • Allows you to reduce your building's heating costs by up to 60%.
  • Reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
  • Allows the use of lightweight protective structures while conserving heat.
  • Allows you to reduce the thickness of exterior walls and thus increase the internal area of the building by up to 5%.
  • Removes moisture accumulated inside the external thermal insulation system in a timely manner, preventing mould and mildew from forming on wall surfaces inside the structure.
  • Allows heat to be accumulated in the protective structure to create a favourable climate inside the building.
  • Helps prevent salt deposits from forming on building walls.
  • Solves the problem of sealing joints in buildings.
  • Increases the sound insulation of external walls.
  • It can be used for both new and renovated buildings. Increases the value of the building as a good capital investment.

WHEN INSULATING THE FAÇADE OF A BUILDING, PANELS MADE OF THE FOLLOWING MATERIALS ARE COMMONLY USED AS THERMAL INSULATION MATERIAL:

  • Polystyrene foam;
  • Mineral wool;
  • Glass fibre wool.

FAÇADE INSULATION SYSTEMS CONSIST OF THREE MAIN LAYERS:

  • Thermal insulation panels - the foundation of the system;
  • Reinforcement layer - protective and reinforcing layer for the surface of the thermal insulation boards;
  • The final decorative finishing layer that gives the system a decorative appearance and protects it from weathering.
  • Façade insulation is one of the most efficient ways to reduce the energy needed to heat buildings.
