External Wall Insulation (Cladding)

Why is External Wall Insulation Done?

External wall insulation is the cladding of the exterior of buildings, living spaces, or animal shelters with materials that have insulating properties to provide heat and sound insulation. Different materials with insulating properties than other exterior cladding applications can be used. Materials with insulating properties of different thicknesses and types are currently used, both in terms of performance and needs.

How is External Wall Insulation Done?

The aim of external wall insulation is to prevent the transition of outdoor temperatures and indoor temperatures between the building's internal and external environments. Thus, the temperature of the building with external wall insulation is preserved. In winter, it prevents the indoor temperature from escaping outside and the indoor environment from cooling due to the cold outside. In summer, conversely, external wall insulation is applied with the principle of keeping the indoor environment cool. At the same time, in addition to heat insulation, sound insulation can also be provided in external wall insulation systems. Furthermore, thanks to developing external wall insulation systems, different decoration and design applications can be made on the exterior facades optionally. External wall insulation systems, offered with many different systems, can also make exteriors look more beautiful and decorative, whether plastered or unplastered. While external wall insulation has been done in European countries for approximately 50 years, it has been started to be done in our country for the last 30-40 years. The most classic system is the application of styrofoam to the facade. However, styrofoam application is not a standalone application. Various applications are made both under and over the styrofoam. Especially in regions with harsh weather conditions, some fixing methods are used to prevent the styrofoam from falling off or being damaged by weather conditions over time. External wall insulation systems, which provide up to 40% or even 60% heat insulation depending on the material's structure, are applied by expert teams using different application techniques.
