Thermal modernization
Thermal modernisation of a building allows to save a 30% of heating energy costs. The time for the return of expenses incurred in connection with thermal modernisation works depends, among others, on the scope of modernization works carried out, the type of heating used in the building , the geometry of the building , the kind of walls and the percentage of area under glass . The key element of the thermal modernization of the building is the thermal insulation of it's external walls .
External wall insulation system
external thermal insulation The thermal insulation composite system is a composition of precisely specified layers , fixed to the external wall of the building .It's execution consists in attaching thermal insulation panels to the substrate and covering it with a reinforced coat followed by thin layer render .It's worth to know that in the light of regulations , a thermal insulation system is treated like a construction product .Therefore , it needs to have National or European ( ETA ) technical approval describing unambiguously the composition and the properties of the system .
Thickness of thermal insulation
The effectiveness of thermal insulation depends first of all on the thickness of the thermo- insulating material.As a free of -charge service for investors , Atlas experts make calculations of the U value , i.e thermal resistance of the walls and the so -called diffusion resistance of walls , i.e, water vapor permeability.The current requirements for thermal insulation capacity of walls , published in the "Regulations on the technological conditions to be met by buildings and their situation " , state that the maximum value for thermal conductivity coefficient for external walls UK (max) must not exceed 0.3 W/sqm. K ( for double layer walls )
external insulation systems and mosaic render
Thin - Coat Renders
The functions of thin coat textured plasters is to protect the external walls against the adverse effects of atmospheric conditions and decorate the facades . They can be applied directly on the traditional plaster , but they can also be the finishing layer of thermal insulation systems . The properties of the renders and in consequence - their stability , are determined mainly bt the binder used to manufacture them .
