Wärmeverbundsystemdämmung
Wärmeverbundsystemdämmung, often referred to as WDVS or simply Wärmeverbundsystem, is a thermal insulation composite system used for building facades. It is designed to reduce heat loss from buildings, thereby improving energy efficiency and comfort. The system typically consists of several layers applied to the exterior wall. The core component is a rigid insulation material, commonly polystyrene foam boards (EPS) or mineral wool. These boards are mechanically fixed and/or adhesively bonded to the substrate. Over the insulation layer, a reinforcing mesh is embedded within a base coat of mineral or synthetic mortar. This creates a stable and crack-resistant layer. Finally, a decorative, weather-resistant render or plaster is applied as the outer finish, providing aesthetic appeal and protection against environmental influences. WDVS can be applied to various building types, including new constructions and existing buildings undergoing renovation. Its primary benefits include significant energy savings, reduced heating costs, and improved thermal comfort by eliminating cold spots and drafts. The system also contributes to sound insulation and can protect the underlying building structure from moisture. Proper installation by qualified professionals is crucial for the long-term performance and durability of a Wärmeverbundsystem.
