Installation Manual Effisus Ecofacade-1

1. Summary Effisus Ecofacade is an efficient and sustainable membrane, which guarantees to the facade water, vapour and airtightness, maximizing building energy efficiency. At the same time, it protects the most vulnerable points in a building which are exposed to weather elements, eliminating pathologies associated to condensations, corrosion and mould growth.

EFFISUS ECOFACADE Effisus Ecofacade Membrane with 1 or 2 self-adhesive butyl-based edges. Available widths: 50 mm multiples between 100 mm and 400 mm. The width of the self-adhesive strips is dependent of the width and thickness of the membranes: - 150 mm with 20 mm self-adhesive edges, - 200, 250 mm with 30 mm self-adhesive edges, - 300, 400 mm with 40 mm self-adhesive edges. Over smooth surfaces the self-adhesive edges do not need gluing or additional fixing. Over wet surfaces, the use of a Primer Effisus Coat NP will be required before bonding. Effisus Ecofacade Membrane with 1 or 2 self-adhesive...

Fig. 3 – Effisus Ecofacade Prefabricated Pieces. 4. Accessories The Effisus Ecofacade Systems includes accessories that are designed specifically to simplify the application of the membrane. Connections with other non-proprietary membranes (Vapor permeable membranes, air and vapor control layers, etc.) should be adequately designed to ensure optimum compatibility. All other materials in contact with Effisus products should be submitted for further technical evaluation and tested for compatibility. 4.1 Adhesive Tapes Adhesive tapes for moisture proof sealing of Effisus Ecofacade membrane perimeter...

temperature range of 93ºC to -57ºC. With a highly advanced micro sealant and removable siliconized release liner on each side, Effisus 2Bond DS tape is designed to seal Effisus Ecofacade onto building perimeters and connections to smooth, non-porous or porous substrates, creating a tight, permanent and waterproof membrane. It is quick and easy to apply on smooth surfaces using Effisus Cleaner LV or any nonresidue cleaner. Compatible substrates 2Bond DS is fit for use on a wide range of construction substrates, both porous and non-porous, includingconcrete, cement particle sheathing boards, glass...

EFFISUS ECOFACADE If properly used, no additional fixing is required when applying the above-mentioned adhesives, however it is advisable in the following cases: - If the bonding width is smaller than the recommended minimum or if any thermal action is predictable to compromise the bonding of the Effisus Ecofacade Membrane. - If the facade details are of difficult access, it should be anticipated the use of mechanical fixing on top of the membrane. - If there are any tension on the self-adhesive bands. The mechanical fixing should be performed with aluminium termination bars fixed to the support...

The bonding strength will progressively increase until the moment when all the solvents in the adhesive fully evaporate, which can take from 10 to 14 days. When exposed to UV’s the Effisus Bonding KF, KF+P and KFP Adhesive may suffer discoloration. 7.2.1.2 Using Self-Adhesive bands (Effisus Ecofacade SA-Edge/SA-Edge XTRA) Smooth, clean, and non-absorbent support surfaces do not require previous treatment. They should only be ungreased with Effisus Cleaner LV. Porous and absorbent supports should be previously treated with Effisus Coat NP Primer. Cut the Effisus Ecofacade SA-Edge/ SA-Edge XTRA...
