| KREISEL Thermal Insulation System KREISEL Thermal Insulation System | The modern approach to building management increasingly involves not only the convenience of the inha- bitants, but also efficiency in energy consumption and care for the environment. In this context, proper thermal insulation of the building envelope becomes one of the most important elements that affect the technical condi- tion of the building and the household budget. Many older buildings – especially those built de- 8 Thermal insulation systems cades ago – do not meet today’s thermal protection standards. The effects...

4 | KREISEL Thermal Insulation System KREISEL Thermal Insulation System | 5 Insulation of residential, public, or industrial buildings is a very important aspect, both because of the need to rationalise energy consumption and the need to ensure proper conditions of use and durability of the building. Most of the buildings in use in Poland, especially residential buildings, require too much energy to keep them warm. This is especially true of buildings erected in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as in the early 1990s. The technology of the time has made annual energy consumption for heating purposes...

That is why it is so important to follow the rules of construction physics and install insulation on the cooler side - that is, on the outside. General rules The correct placement of thermal insulation is crucial to the effectiveness of the entire insulation system....

The advantages brought by comprehensive ETICS quality of construction and the durability of the building, plus enhance the comfort of its users. High durability and stability – these systems are Structural lightness – important especially for `retrofitting older buildings, where additional weight on the foundations is highly undesirable. ring that protects against weather conditions. They are buildings (ETICS), providing high durability,...

10 | KREISEL Thermal Insulation System KREISEL offers a comprehensive range of insulation systems to suit a variety of investment needs - from residential construction to public buildings. Here is an overview of the company’s key solutions: The system based on silicate render is an ideal solution for buildings exposed to intense biological environment - near parks, forests, or water bodies. SILIKATYNK 020, produced on the basis of liquid potassium glass, combines the advantages of mineral render (vapour permeability) and acrylic render (mechanical resistance). In addition, the render shows high...

12 | KREISEL Thermal Insulation System Substrate preparation How to avoid cracking facades, thermal insulation panels peeling off, and green stains on the facade? It all begins at the stage of substrate preparation. Below you will find a condensed recipe for a durable, aesthetically pleasing, and healthy exterior wall. KREISEL Thermal Insulation System | 13 Dust, soot, and biological lichen are the biggest enemies of adhesion. Their presence creates a barrier that prevents subsequent layers from fully bonding to the substrate. Therefore, before priming, the facade should be thoroughly washed,...
