Frequently asked questions about the Facade materials - Thermal insulation category
What is Facade materials - Thermal insulation and what is it used for?
Facade materials - Thermal insulation is a category of exterior wall insulation products: mineral wool, glass wool, EPS and XPS polystyrene boards, spray/board polyurethane, ventilated facade systems, adhesives, reinforcing mesh and profiles. These materials improve energy efficiency, moisture control and façade durability for houses, apartment blocks and commercial buildings.
What is the difference between stone wool and glass wool for facades?
Stone wool (mineral wool) offers higher fire resistance and typically greater density, making it suitable for fire-rated ventilated facades; glass wool is lighter and provides good acoustic insulation. Both come in standard board sizes (e.g. PAROC LINIO 200x600x1200, KNAUF 150x565x1250), so choose by density and required performance.
When should I choose EPS vs XPS for a facade?
Choose EPS for standard facade insulation and detail filling due to its light weight and thermal performance; choose XPS where moisture resistance and compressive strength are required (e.g. plinths, ground-contact zones). Pick the board thickness and density according to exposure and load conditions.
What board sizes and areas are available for calculating facade insulation?
The catalogue includes standard board sizes such as KNAUF 150x565x1250 (3.53 m²) and PAROC 50x600x1200; use the m² values listed on product pages and add 5–10% for offcuts. Also confirm the required thickness to meet the target thermal resistance.
Can I use mineral wool from this category for a ventilated facade?
Yes — the category includes non-combustible stone wool products (e.g. PAROC) and accessories for ventilated facades, plus wind- and vapour-barrier membranes. Select boards with the correct fire class and density and use compatible fasteners and profiles.
Which adhesives and reinforcing meshes are suitable for facade thermal insulation?
Use facade-specific adhesives and reinforcing mortars that are frost-resistant and compatible with EPS/XPS and mineral wool ETICS systems. Select meshes and products per the system manufacturer's instructions, following recommended layer thicknesses and consumption.
Which insulation should I use for plinths and ground-contact areas?
Use XPS (e.g. FINNFOAM XPS) for plinths and ground-contact zones due to its low water absorption and high compressive strength. Also include drainage and vapour-proofing measures to protect the structure.
Which thermal conductivity and density specs matter when choosing facade insulation?
Check the thermal conductivity (λ) — lower λ means better insulation — and the density/compressive strength, which affects wind and mechanical resistance. For external systems choose low‑λ materials and a density appropriate to the application (higher density for ventilated facades or load zones).
Is polyurethane suitable for exterior facade insulation in this catalogue?
Polyurethane is offered and can be used where good adhesion and low thermal conductivity are needed, commonly as spray foam or board for narrow cavities. Check fire performance and compatibility with the chosen facade system before specifying.
