Thermal Insulation Plaster Systems: Efficient Insulation for New Construction and Renovation

Thermal insulation plaster systems offer an innovative and efficient way to increase the energy efficiency of buildings. By combining the advantages of mineral plasters with excellent insulating properties, they represent a sustainable alternative to conventional insulating materials for both new buildings and renovations.

Correct application is essential to ensure the full performance of our systems. On our website, you will find comprehensive information on the system structure and receive practical tips and valuable advice to help you realise your projects successfully.

If I use conventional insulation and factor in the costs for the necessary levelling of the substrate, I end up with roughly the same costs per square metre as for the easier-to-use insulating plaster. In the long term at the latest, the thermal insulation plaster system is definitely the more economical solution.

The work steps for perfect insulating plaster application

The application of thermal insulation plasters requires a precise approach to ensure a durable and energy-efficient solution. Here are the key steps required to achieve optimum results when insulating buildings:

1. Testing the substrate

Before starting the plastering work, the substrate must be thoroughly checked for its load-bearing capacity and condition. A stable and clean substrate is crucial for the adhesion of the insulating plaster.

2. Possible preparatory measures

In some cases, preparatory measures are required, such as the application of a pre-spray or the installation of a plaster base, e.g. a reed matting or a world net. These ensure better adhesion and stability of the insulating plaster.

3. Applying the insulating plaster

The insulating plaster is applied in even layers to the prepared surface. The mineral components ensure optimum thermal insulation and moisture regulation.

4. Application of the solidifier

Once the insulating plaster has dried, a hardener is applied to stabilise the structure and prepare the surface for the subsequent work steps.

5. Embedding the reinforcing mesh

The reinforcing mesh is worked into the surface of the plaster to increase strength and crack resistance. This step ensures additional stability and durability of the system.

6. Applying the finishing coat

The finishing render forms the final layer and gives the façade not only a decorative but also a protective surface. It ensures that the system remains resistant to the effects of the weather.

7. Applying the colour coat

Finally, the colour coat is applied. This not only offers a customised design option, but also protects the entire system from external influences such as moisture and UV rays.
