ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems)

External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) are a proven way to enhance building energy efficiency and façade durability. With the right components, ETICS ensures strong bonding, reliable thermal stability and visually appealing finishes.

Improved thermal performance, minimizing thermal bridging
Strong adhesion with engineered adhesives and base coats
Crack resistance through fiber-reinforced and polymer-modified options
Weatherproof finishing plasters for moisture and UV protection
Wide range of textures and colors to suit architectural designs

Retrofitting older buildings for higher energy efficiency
New façades requiring certified insulation systems
Climate-specific solutions for humid, coastal or arid regions

Selecting the right ETICS components is essential for durable façades and long-term thermal efficiency. System compatibility and proper reinforcement ensure reliable performance. For tailored recommendations or to discuss project-specific needs, contact us today.

FAQ

Which cellulose ethers are used in ETICS formulations?

HPMC and HEMC are typically used in base coats and adhesives to improve workability, water retention, and adhesion for long-term insulation stability.

How do cellulose ethers enhance crack resistance in ETICS?

CEs maintain moisture during curing and improve paste cohesion, reducing shrinkage and micro-cracking in fiber-reinforced or polymer-modified base coats.

Can cellulose ethers improve adhesion of base coats to insulation boards?

Yes, they enhance substrate wetting and bonding, ensuring that base coats and adhesives firmly hold insulation layers over time.

How do cellulose ethers affect weather resistance of ETICS systems?

By controlling water retention and workability, CEs help create uniform, durable base coats that support finishing plasters, improving resistance to moisture and UV exposure.
