Why an ETICS system needs special fasteners?
Before we delve into the main question of why there should be specific fasteners designed just for an ETICS system , we should first go over what this system is. External Thermal Insulation Composite System (ETICS) is a multilayer compact insulation solution that may be used to increase the energy efficiency of buildings. The system has a predetermined order in which the layers are added. This arrangement can have anywhere from six to seven to even eight layers which go in the following order of placement: a wall structure (substrate), the adhesive (basic fixing), the thermal insulation, the anchor (and if need be, additional fixing), a reinforcement layer (generally is a base coat embedded with glass fiber mesh), the key coating (if required), the finishing coat (that renders), any primers (this is also optional), and finally, the decorative coats (again, optional). You can save a lot of money on energy and reorganising by using a professional ETICS system. External therma...
