Installing external wall insulation isn’t only about the insulation itself. The façade finish is also an important part of the complete system and determines the final appearance of the building.
This means an EWI project can be an opportunity to consider both the building envelope and the visual character of the exterior.
Why Is the Façade Finish Important?
The façade is the visible outer surface of the building and is exposed to changing weather conditions throughout the year.
When used as part of an external wall insulation system, the chosen finish needs to be compatible with the overall system specification while also delivering the desired appearance.
Baumit Ireland offers a range of façade solutions designed for different applications and project requirements.
Choosing a Finish for External Wall Insulation
There are several considerations when selecting the final appearance of an EWI system. These can include the architecture of the building, surrounding properties, desired texture and colour, and the requirements of the specified system.
Rather than treating the final render as a separate product, it should be considered as part of the complete external wall insulation build-up.
Baumit SilikonTop
Baumit SilikonTop is one of the façade finish options available from Baumit Ireland and can be specified as part of suitable façade applications.
The individual product page provides further information about the product, its characteristics and intended applications.
Baumit StarTop
Another option within the Baumit façade range is Baumit StarTop.
When selecting any finishing product, it is important to consider compatibility with the specified system and the particular requirements of the building.
Baumit GranoporTop
Baumit GranoporTop provides another finishing option within the wider Baumit façade portfolio.
Different façade products allow designers, contractors and property owners to explore finishes appropriate to the intended appearance and project specification.
External Wall Insulation Can Change a Building’s Appearance
Because an EWI system is installed externally, the project provides an opportunity to consider how the finished building should look.
Colour and texture choices can help retain the existing character of a property or create a noticeably different exterior, depending on the design objectives and any applicable project requirements.
Consider the Complete EWI System
A façade finish is only one component of an external wall insulation solution. The insulation type and complete system build-up should also be selected for the individual building.
Baumit Ireland offers several options, including EPS external wall insulation, mineral wool external wall insulation and phenolic external wall insulation.
