Technical sheet · External thermal insulation and render system
This ETICS build-up combines graphite EPS insulation, reinforced base coats, primer and a textured finishing render. Correct detailing and project-specific verification support thermal performance and a durable façade suited to Mallorca’s climate. A complete system approach is essential: adhesive, insulation, fixings, reinforcement layers, profiles, primer and finishing render must be selected as mutually compatible components.
Assessed and prepared masonry or mineral wall supporting the complete system.
Compatible mineral adhesive securely bonding insulation to the substrate.
High-performance external insulation reducing heat transfer in a compact build-up.
Compatible reinforcement mortar forming the base for embedded mesh.
Glass-fibre mesh fully embedded with correct overlaps and profile connections.
Levelling coat covering the mesh and creating an even finishing substrate.
Compatible façade primer matched to the render and substrate conditions.
Warm sand textured exterior crepi forming the visible weather-protective façade finish.
The structural wall must be stable, clean, sufficiently even and suitable for adhesive application.
Continuous external insulation reduces winter heat loss, limits summer heat gain and helps maintain more stable internal surface temperatures.
The reinforcement mesh must be fully embedded with correct overlaps and continuous connections to all PVC profiles.
A complete Baumit ETICS solution uses mutually compatible adhesive, insulation, fixings, reinforcement layers, PVC profiles, primer and finishing render, supported by the applicable system documentation.
Selected system components are shown below. Profiles are PVC system profiles with integrated reinforcement mesh; aluminium profiles are not used. Recessed installation of the fixing with an insulation cap helps reduce visible fixing marks and local surface-temperature differences.
Continuous external insulation reduces winter heat loss and limits summer heat gain through the façade.
A continuous insulation envelope limits local weak points around the structural wall.
More stable internal surface temperatures support a more comfortable indoor climate.
The external system helps protect the structural wall from strong temperature fluctuations.
Compatible components, reinforced layers and correct connections support a long-lasting façade system.
Indicative colour selection; final shade and texture must be confirmed with physical samples.
