Frequently asked questions about the Оutdoor insulation category
What is Оutdoor insulation and what is it used for?
Оutdoor insulation refers to external sealing and protection materials like butyl tape, bitumen tape, mastics and geotextile for facades, plinths and roofs. It’s used for joint sealing, roof repairs and radon protection; available widths typically 7.5–15 cm and roll lengths 3–30 m.
Which tape is better for sealing joints: butyl or bitumen?
Butyl tape is preferable for lasting seals on movable joints because of its elasticity and strong adhesion to metal and concrete. Bitumen tape is suited for roof and plinth waterproofing, often with an aluminium facing; choose based on substrate and exposure conditions.
What tape sizes are available in the Оutdoor insulation category?
The range includes tapes 7.5 cm, 10 cm and 15 cm wide and roll lengths from 3 m up to 30 m (e.g. NICOBAND 3MX5CM, 10MX30CM, butyl tape 15cmX10m). Use these sizes when calculating material needs.
Is geotextile TYPAR SF 20 suitable for drainage and foundation protection?
TYPAR SF 20 is designed for filtration and separation in drainage systems and protecting foundations from soil washout. Its structure provides permeability while maintaining strength under ground conditions.
Which SIGA mounting tapes are suitable for window and door installation?
SIGA RISSAN and WIGLUV mounting tapes in 60 mm width (rolls 15–40 m) are suitable for sealing window and door frames, providing airtightness with controlled vapour permeability. Choose RISSAN for general installs and WIGLUV where higher vapour tightness is required.
Can bitumen tapes with aluminium facing be used on metal roofs?
Aluminium-faced bitumen tapes can be used on metal roofs provided the substrate is even and clean; the aluminium layer protects against UV. Clean and degrease the surface before application and consider correct installation temperature.
Which mastics are recommended for small roof repairs and flashing repairs?
Mastics such as Kemperol Repair Fix LF 1kg are suitable for small roof and flashing repairs; they adhere to bitumen, metal and concrete and fill cracks quickly. Apply on a clean, dry surface following the manufacturer's instructions.
Which tape is best for radon protection?
For radon protection use gas-impermeable butyl tapes such as Radon Multitape 80mmX20m (one-sided). Ensure tight installation with overlaps and seal joints with mastics or secondary tapes.
How to calculate tape consumption for sealing around a window?
Measure the window perimeter and add 10–15% for overlaps and waste; a 1.5×1.5 m window has ~6 m perimeter so allow ~7–7.5 m tape. Choose tape width (60 mm for mounting, 10–15 cm for external waterproofing) based on the joint gap.
Can NICOBAND coloured tapes be used for visible façade joints?
Yes, NICOBAND green and red tapes come in colours and sizes (e.g. 3MX5CM, 10MX30CM), suitable for visible façade joints and marking. Consider UV and weather resistance for outdoor exposure.
