An external wall structure with a thick rendered application is an excellent solution for both new constructions and renovation work. The thickness of the rendering layers is about 25 mm, which creates an extremely strong and shock resistant façade.
In thick rendering applications the insulation is not glued on the surface, but is fastened mechanically. The weight of the rendering layers is borne by the supporting wall structure via the steel net and the mechanical fasteners. Mechanical fasteners adapt to any potential movements in the rendering.
When the insulation thickness is higher than 120 mm, we recommend the use of two layers of slabs. Two insulation layers result in overlapping joints and reduce cold bridges.
This method enables partial winter construction; insulation work can be carried out during winter time and the rendering work, including installation of the steel net, can be carried out in spring. |
