Installation of thermal panels: order facade insulation

In addition to reducing heating costs and stylish facade decor, the Termodom thermal panels, which we officially present, have another important advantage. Insulating walls with our thermal blocks is much more economical and easier than gluing ordinary polystyrene foam or extruded polystyrene foam (EPS).

What are the differences between installing our thermal panels and a “wet facade”?

The main alternative to thermal panels is the so-called “wet facade”. When insulating using this method, bare sheets of foam plastic or rock wool are glued to the walls. Then several layers of glue, primer and decorative plaster are applied: often this is “lamb”, “bark beetle” or similar finishes.

But this traditional method is not without its drawbacks: the process is long, requires good weather and the hands of a professional finisher. Even if such installation of facade decor makes the price attractive, do not forget that the coating is not the most durable and weather-resistant. Over time, cracks appear, individual areas fade, and replacing a piece of decor becomes problematic.

Installation of thermal panels has important advantages:

• Umbrella dowels embedded in the foam simplify installation, and thanks to the clear geometry of the thermal panels and the tongue-and-groove connection, the insulation blocks fold like a construction set;
• the foam blank is already covered with clinker – for the finish, you only need to grout the seams between the tiles, no need to spend additional time and money;
• installation of thermal panels is possible in any weather and on any surface, including concrete, wood or limestone, as well as weakened and dilapidated walls;
• the result of installing thermal panels is a warm house and smooth “brickwork” in the desired color and design, resistant to sun, rain and frost.

There are many reasons to prefer installing thermal panels – the price is reasonable, installation is simple, and the result is more effective and durable than all possible insulation methods available on the market.

How to install facade thermal panels: stages

The following information will help you clearly imagine how facade insulation is carried out and will serve as instructions for self-installation of thermal panels.

To attach the panels to the facade, you will need the following simple set of tools: a level, a hammer drill, a screwdriver, an angle grinder, a soft spatula for grouting. You will also need materials: mounting foam, dowels with screws and frost-resistant grout. Now more about the installation itself.

№1: Performing the Markup

First, we determine the horizon using the level and mark it along the perimeter of the house. Since the walls may have a slope, we immediately check the diagonals and eliminate the discrepancy. For example, by placing a hard, moisture-resistant material underneath. And to make the work as precise as possible, you can additionally use vertical beacons.

№2: Installation of the base profile and panels

We install the profile along the base with an indent from the ground and start installing the panels on the left side. We fill all the joints of the thermal panels of each block with foam. We install the next rows of thermal panels in the same way. When the bottom row is ready, we fill the gap between the wall and the profile with foam so that air currents do not wander there.

№3: Finish

When the thermal panels are installed, it is time to do the final finishing – grout the seams with frost-resistant paste for facades. But at this single stage, a positive temperature is needed for success, so if the installation was carried out at a temperature below zero, we postpone grouting until the pluses.
