External wall insulation (EWI) system with silicone, polysilicate, silicate-silicone, mosaic and mineral external render, including with board eff ect (with optional paint coating)

KABE THERM MW EWI system is used mainly on buildings that require high fire protection, vapour permeability and protection against the impact of aggressive weather conditions. It is used in single- and multi-family housing, public utility and industrial, both on already existing buildings and newly erected ones, both low and high buildings (over 25 m). The system can be made using façade mineral wool boards (with disturbed fibre arrangement), lamella wool (with arranged fibres) and dual-density mineral wool boards. The KABE THERM MW system can be used on walls made of 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, that are not exposed to precipitation. It is especially recommended for use on buildings with walls made of materials with a porous structure (such as aerated concrete, slag concrete, porous brick). Because of its very good soundproofing properties, it is also suitable for the thermal insulation of buildings located in the zones exposed to high noise levels. The external layer of KABE THERM MW system can be made with ARMASIL T and SILCO T AVANT silicone renders, NOVALIT T polysilicate render,SISI AVANT silicate-silicone render or MINERALIT T mineral render, MOZAIKER AKORD and MOZAIKER DECOR mosaic renders, available in a wide range of textures, colours and grain sizes and with 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. It is also possible to make an optional paint coating with ARMASIL F or SILCO F silicone paint, NOVALIT F polysilicate paint and CALSILIT F silicate paint.

• Non-flammable system components
• Reduction of building heating costs
• Improved microclimate inside the building
• High aesthetics of façade
• Free release of moisture
• Prevents water vapour condensation inside the system
• Slows down the process of façade soiling
• Ample opportunities to shape external render
• Very good soundproofi ng properties
