PENOPLEX® WALL - an effective solution for a plaster facade

Plaster facades are popular in private housing construction due to the variety of colors and availability. Among modern facade materials, decorative plasters are often used to decorate walls made of bricks, ceramic and aerated concrete blocks.

The plastering work is preceded by thermal insulation of the walls, which provides the required level of thermal protection. Insulation allows you to reduce the thickness of the wall structure and significantly reduce its weight. As a result, the total construction cost is reduced. Effective thermal insulation will also provide a comfortable microclimate in the house.

An important incentive for the construction of an energy efficient home is the regular increase in energy tariffs. To keep warm in the house, large expenditures of thermal energy are required, be it gas or electricity. And every owner of a living space is directly interested in reducing heating costs.

The classics of suburban construction, of course, are ceramic bricks and a lightweight option - a ceramic block. Popular solution for wall construction - aerated concrete block. Common ceramics and aerated concrete are characterized by low thermal protection compared to highly efficient thermal insulators. Therefore, wall insulation is a reasonable approach to energy conservation within your own home.

For example, European countries have found an effective way to save energy resources. The load-bearing wall structures of residential buildings up to three floors are erected there from dense aerated concrete brands D500 and D600 with a thickness of only 150 mm with an effective insulation made of expanded polystyrene 150 mm thick, providing a thermal resistance value of more than 6 m²* K / W.

Such indicators are due to the requirements for energy efficiency of buildings in European countries and they are significantly higher than in Russia. For comparison: the required value of thermal resistance in most of Germany is 6 m²* K / W, and in Russian standards for the Moscow region and the Moscow region - less than 3 m²* K / W.

Energy saving in a modern private house will be ensured by high quality thermal insulation. Applying advanced building technologies, the house will be warm, the cost of its construction is minimized. In the near future, the amount of heat energy required for comfortable living will also decrease. To do this, you need to choose competent design solutions and materials.

So, a multi-layer construction made of durable aerated concrete 200 mm thick with a PENOPLEX insulation slab^® A WALL 100 mm thick will protect the house from the cold much better than a wall made of blocks 400 mm thick without insulation. The wall structure with insulation is much thinner, with better thermal insulation properties and with less stress on the foundation. The heat protection of aerated concrete blocks is several times lower than that of extruded polystyrene foam, and the price for 1m³ commensurate.

Insulation plates PENOPLEKS^® WALL are specially designed for thermal insulation of enclosing structures - walls with plaster finishing.

The insulation is distinguished by high compressive and flexural strength. During the production of the material, a closed fine-pored structure is formed, which provides the insulation with rigidity and high strength.

PENOPLEX^® WALL has high heat-shielding characteristics. Thermal properties of the insulation are unchanged throughout the entire service life - more than 50 years.

Zero water absorption provides insulated walls with ideal moisture protection and invariability of thermophysical properties.

The biological resistance of the material will prevent the development of any microorganisms, mold and fungi.

Thermal insulation is made using CFC-free technology from high-quality extruded polystyrene foam. Such environmentally friendly raw materials are used to produce food packaging and disposable tableware, children's toys and stationery.

The thickness of the insulation is in direct proportion to the region of construction and is determined based on the results of heat engineering calculations. You can determine the thickness of the insulation using a calculator posted on the website of the manufacturer PENOPLEX SPB LLC.

Specially prepared milled surface of PENOPLEX boards^® The WALL, made in the factory, provides high adhesion of plaster and adhesive compositions and reduces the time required for plastering. It is also important that the structure of PENOPLEX^® The WALL is hard enough. It is the structure of the slabs that does not allow them to settle in the wall structure during the operation of the house, as is the case with mineral wool insulation.

The slabs have a clear geometry and are tightly joined, due to which there are no cold bridges. They are easy to install on vertical wall surfaces due to their low weight.

Environmental safety PENOPLEX^® WALL allows you to work with thermal insulation without special protective measures: installation can be carried out without a respirator and even gloves. Plates of orange color are very convenient in processing: they are easy to cut and do not crumble.

The slabs are mounted on walls made of bricks, ceramic and aerated concrete blocks in a staggered manner, with an offset.

Using PENOPLEX polyurethane glue^® FASTFIX^® thermal insulation can be easily attached to the bases. The glue is applied in one strip along the middle of the slab and along its perimeter at a distance of 1-3 cm from the edge. One can of PENOPLEX glue^® FASTFIX^® designed for gluing up to 10 m² thermal insulation plates.

Each slab is additionally fixed with front dowels. Good thermal insulating ability is ensured by disc dowels made of synthetic materials with low thermal conductivity, which prevent the formation of cold bridges. Additionally, plug-in or screw-in spacers made of galvanized or stainless steel with a heat-insulating plastic head are used.

A facade primer is applied to the polymer mesh, and decorative plaster gives the finished look to the facade.

Plates are produced in convenient standard sizes: one worker can easily transfer factory packages with thermal insulation.

House insulation can be done independently. You can find out more about the external insulation of the house by visiting the website of the company PENOPLEX SPB LLC. To perform a high-quality installation of insulation, the necessary documentation is posted on the site.
