External Facade Cladding and Thermal Insulation

Considerations for External Facade Cladding and Thermal Insulation Applications

Material Selection:
When selecting thermal insulation materials, factors such as building characteristics, climate conditions, and budget should be considered. Commonly used materials include EPS (Expanded Polystyrene), XPS (Extruded Polystyrene), rock wool, and glass wool. Material selection affects long-term durability and insulation performance.

Compliance with Application Standards:
Working in accordance with relevant standards and regulations ensures effective thermal insulation. Compliance with local building codes and standards is important during application.

Preparation of Wall Surface:
Before applying thermal insulation materials, the wall surface must be clean, smooth, and dry. It is important to clean old paints, dirt, and debris. Additionally, cracks and other structural problems should be corrected.

Prevention of Thermal Bridges:
Thermal bridges can reduce the effectiveness of thermal insulation. Special details and materials should be used to prevent thermal bridges at window frames, facade elements, and other connection points.

Waterproofing:
Waterproofing should also be considered in external facade insulation applications. Waterproofing prevents deterioration of facade materials and loss of performance of insulation materials.

Professional Application:
External facade insulation applications should be carried out by experienced and expert individuals. Attention should be paid to details during application and materials should be correctly installed.

Fire Safety:
The fire resistance and fire safety of the thermal insulation materials used are important. Fire class and fire resistance tests should be considered in material selection.

Facade Design:
During thermal insulation applications, attention should be paid to an aesthetically pleasing facade design. Color and texture selection should be compatible with building architecture.

By paying attention to these considerations, external facade insulation applications can enhance energy efficiency, improve building comfort, and support long-term durability.
