KABE THERM EPS

External wall insulation (EWI) system with silicone, polysilicate, acrylic and mineral external render and renders for spray application from the AKORD line

The KABE THERM RENO EWI system is another EPS-based thermal insulation system for external walls*. It is applied in single- and multi-family housing construction industry, public utility and industrial buildings, to the height of up to 25 m (for the buildings erected before 1 April 1995 to the height of eleventh story, inclusive) and in frame buildings. Because of its simple installation technology and low implementation costs, it is most frequently used for the thermal upgrade of buildings constructed using old energy-consuming technologies (non-compliant with applicable thermal insulation requirements). The system can be used on walls made of fine masonry components (e.g., bricks, blocks, stone, etc.) or concrete (poured on site or in the form of prefabricated slabs). The system can be used on new walls, as well as for renovation of the existing ones. It is also possible to use it on horizontal or inclined surfaces, which ensure proper drainage of rainwater and snow without causing their retention. The external system layer can be made using ARMASIL T, ARMASIL T AKORD, ARMASIL T – DECOR SMOOTH TEXTURE, ARMASIL T – DECOR BRICK silicone renders, NOVALIT T, NOVALIT T AKORD, NOVALIT T – DECOR BRICK polysilicate renders, PERMURO, PERMURO AKORD, PERMURO AVANT acrylic renders, as well as MINERALIT T and MINERALIT T AKORD mineral renders, available in a wide range of colours and textures and in the wood/board effect. After wetting the ARMASIL T silicone render, the effect of water molecules “being repelled” by silicone resin is observed on its surface. This effect protects façades against precipitation and reduces soiling deposition.

• Reduction of building heating costs
• Improved microclimate inside the building
• Wall protection against adverse weather conditions
• Protection against the growth of algae and fungi
• A wide range of types, colours and decorative effects of renders
• Possibility of using AKORD line spray-applied renders
