ETICSjärjestelmät

ETICSjärjestelmät, also known as External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems, are a type of building facade system designed to provide thermal insulation to the exterior of buildings. These systems are applied to the external walls, offering a continuous layer of insulation that significantly reduces heat loss and gain. The primary function of ETICSjärjestelmät is to improve a building's energy efficiency, leading to lower heating and cooling costs and a reduced environmental impact.

The construction of an ETICSjärjestelmät typically involves several layers. The process begins with the attachment of insulation boards, usually made of materials like mineral wool or expanded polystyrene (EPS), to the existing building substrate. These boards are then covered with a base coat, which often incorporates reinforcing mesh for structural integrity. This mesh helps to prevent cracking and provides a robust surface. Finally, a decorative and protective outer render or finish is applied, offering weather resistance and aesthetic appeal. The choice of render allows for a wide range of colors and textures, enabling customization to suit architectural designs.

ETICSjärjestelmät are widely adopted due to their effectiveness in enhancing thermal performance, preventing thermal bridging, and protecting the underlying structure from moisture and environmental factors. They are a popular solution for both new construction projects and renovations, contributing to improved indoor comfort and the overall value of a property.
