Thermano ETICS façade insulation, 160 mm PIR/EPS board

When insulating a house, there are limits to how far the façade can project. The width of a passage, the eaves overhang, window flashings and the proportions of the house all matter. PIR boards intended for an external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) allow you to plan the insulation and rendered finish together. SteelProfil can help match the board to the renovation design and the chosen system.

The thermal performance of PIR is useful where the depth of the wall build-up is limited. Examples include remodelling window reveals, insulating a wall beside a terrace or renovating a compact house. Calculate the required thickness for the particular building, so that the space saved is consistent with the thermal design.

Boards intended for ETICS have facings designed to work with the other layers of the specified façade system. Check that the particular PIR board is listed for that application. We can help select the appropriate board, compatible adhesives and fixings, and the reinforced base coat. This gives the installer a clear specification for the wall as a whole.

Renovating a façade is a chance to rethink the details. Changing the render colour can bring the elevation together or emphasise the entrance. The insulation hidden beneath it determines the depth of reveals, sills and the plinth. Draw those junctions before ordering, especially for narrow reveals and windows near a corner. It is then easier to plan both the finished appearance and more economical heating.

PIR-based ETICS can be used on new walls and on suitably prepared existing walls. The substrate must meet the system requirements, and the board layout and fixing pattern should follow the system instructions. Planning these details gives the owner a coherent renovation plan and the crew a clear list of materials and installation details.

Our insulation range includes first- and second-grade materials, with selected batches available from stock. For a rendered façade we select boards suitable for the chosen ETICS. Ask about current prices and promotions when budgeting for the other components that determine the finished appearance.

Include profiles, flashings and materials for junctions in the overall order. Pay particular attention to windows, roof junctions and the bottom edge of the insulation. These details help determine how many boards you need and where cuts will fall. You can then compare finishes while working towards the same thermal performance.

Show us the wall as it stands and tell us how you want it to look after renovation. We can identify a PIR board for the specified system and check availability for your schedule. Planning the insulation around the existing house helps preserve its proportions and keeps the space around it usable.
