EXTERNAL THERMAL INSULATION COMPOSITE
Proper thermal insulation of a building is one of the most important issues to be considered before the facade installation. Thermal modernization of a
building allows to save over 30% of heating energy costs. It improves the aesthetic appearance of the building and positively influences the environment,
as it reduces the CO2 emission and and energy use. The main tasks of the external thermal insulation are:
− achieving the required thermal insulation for all construction partitions - in accordance to local requirements
− reduction of building operation costs – reduction of costs of heating, which positively influences the environment (reduction of harmful compounds emission)
− increasing the durability of the external walls - thanks to the protection against negative weather conditions influence
− giving aesthetic appearance of the facade - through the use of various renders, cladding and paints
The long - time experience in external thermal insulation systems manufacturing allows ATLAS to provide the Customers with products of the highest
quality. They allow to finish the facade in many ways meeting different expectations of the homeowners. The proper choice of the thermal insulation
system may depend on:
- substrate type (material, a building is made of )
- building age (old, newly constructed)
- location and intended use
- surface area and height
- finishing type as designed
ATLAS offers systems based on the polystyrene and mineral wool thermal insulation. They allow to finish the facade with one of a few render types or ceramic tiles. ATLAS holds as well in its offer jointless external wall insulation systems and garage systems. Thanks to proper choice of thermal insulation, not
only the thermo - insulation parameters of the wall are improved, but also acoustic insulation, fire resistance and mechanical resistance. The multiplicity of
technical solutions, used in ATLAS adhesives and renders, allows the investor to choose almost any thermal insulation material available:
− traditional expanded polystyrene
− elasticized expanded polystyrene
− extruded polystyrene
− mineral wool
•Thickness of thermal insulation
The effectiveness of thermal insulation depends first of all on the thickness of the thermo-insulating material. As a free-of-charge service for investors, ATLAS
experts make calculations of the U value, i.e. thermal resistance of the walls and the so-called diffusion resistance of walls, i.e. water vapor permeability. The
current requirements for the thermal insulation capacity of walls, published in the “Regulation on technological conditions to be met by buildings and their
situation”, state that the maximum value for thermal conductivity coefficient for external walls Uk(max) must not exceed 0.3 W/m2K (for double layer walls).
Our systems hold Domestic (AT) and European Technical Approvals describing unambiguously the system composition and its parameters. ATLAS is as
well one of few thermal insulation system manufacturers holding the local technical approvals for: Germany (Allgemeine Bauaufsichtliche Zulassung
Z-33.84-963 and Z-33.83-964), Ireland (Irish Agrement Board Certificate 10/0347) and the United Kingdom (British Board of Agrement Certificate 13/5018).

„„ Requirements for execution of thermal insualtion works
Insulation boards sanding
The surface of insulating boards applied to the substrate should be
even, so when the mortar sets (after ca. 24 h), the boards should be
sanded with the use of sanding boards or floats covered with coarse
sanding paper. It eliminates any board edges slips. In the case of polystyrene boards installed 3 months earlier or more sanding and removal
of any surface tarnish is mandatory.
Additional elements installation
Work conditions
Carry out the work in dry weather, at the substrate and ambient temperature not lower
than +5 °C and not higher than +30 °C. The only exception is the ATLAS STOPTER K-20
adhesive, which can also be used at 0 ° C, assuming that after 8 hours from the work
completion the temperature does not drop below -5 ° C. The façade should be on time
of thermal insulation work protected and secured against precipitation, strong wind and
direct sunlight - it is recommended to use fine mesh scaffolding covers. Insulation works
should be carried out in dry conditions (no precipitation, relative humidity below 80%).
In order to increase the system resistance against mechanical damage,
to allow free drainage and execution of expansion joints - the finishing
profiles should be installed on the fixed thermal insulation layer. These
profiles are installed at every specific locations of the façade (i.e. corners,
reveals, sills, etc.). They can also be simultaneously installed during the
base coat mesh embedding.
„„ Substrate preparation
General instructions
In all corners of window and door reveals, additional reinforcing mesh
strips (rectangles with dimensions of 20 x 35 cm) embedded in the
adhesive mortar ATLAS STOPTER K-20 or ATLAS HOTER U should be
installed. The strips should be applied diagonally, at a 45° angle in relation to the line set by the edges of the reveals.
Before the work commencement, evaluate the substrate technical condition and on that
basis decide on the scope and the method of surface preparation. For the time of works
remove any elements hindering tight adhesion of the thermal insulation boards and the
finishing coat application. An additional layer of insulation will increase the thickness of
the walls, and therefore it will cause the need to increase the reach of flashings, downspouts anchors, etc. For the time of works the windows and doors should be protected
against the dirt by a plastic film.
Requirements for the substrate
The substrate should be aged, sound, stable, even, clean and dry. The absorbent substrates should be primed with ATLAS UNI-GRUNT, smooth and non-absorbent (concrete)
with ATLAS CERPLAST. The substrate should be even to the extent enabling easy execution of a plane formed by the bonded insulation boards on the walls. Clean the surface
from any layers which may weaken mortar adhesion, dirt, loose and dusty elements.
Note! Particular attention should be paid to the proper assessment and preparation of
substrate with problematic bearing capacity, e.g. finished with glass-mosaics, glazed
brick, covered with paint coats, etc. If in doubt, conduct a pull - off test of adhesion (the
ultimate tensile strength should be above 0.08 MPa) or apply 8÷10 cubes of EPS 10x10
cm each, in various places of the façade and tear them off after 3 days. The use of thermal
insulation system for buildings with reinforced concrete sandwich walls, should always
be preceded by a thorough assessment of their technical condition. This applies to the
technical condition of the metal fittings (hooks, pins, rods) as well as to how they are
connected and interact with the elements of the wall.
Starter tracks installation
The insulation should be commenced with the installation of the starter tracks. They
support the first row of thermal insulation boards, facilitate to maintain the uniform
level of successive layers, strengthen the bottom edge of the system, and the bottom
edge drip prevents water bleeding. The boards should be installed horizontally on the
plinth of the building, not lower than 30 cm above the ground level, which provides
protection from the effects of rising damp and protects against dirt - mud particles
brought by raindrops reflected from the ground. Instead of skirting boards, it is permitted to use strips of armour mesh or two layers of fiberglass mesh.
„„ Thermal insulation application
Polystyrene boards application
In the case of even substrates, the mortar can be applied with the use of a notched
trowel (with notch size 12 mm)– the adhesive is applied then directly onto the board
and not onto the substrate. In the case of less smooth surfaces the adhesive should be
spread on the board surface using the “strip - point” method. It consists in the application
of continuous circumferential bead (at least 3 cm wide) at the edge of the board and
6÷8 patches of 8÷12 cm in diameter evenly distributed on the whole surface. Peripheral
bead is placed at a distance from the edge, so that when pressed to the wall the mortar
is not squeezed out of the contour and side edges. The adhesive mortar applied on
board should cover at least 40% of its surface (after pressing down to the substrate at
least 60%).Thermal insulation application should commence from the building corners.
The first row of the boards is fixed on the starter tracks, the subsequent rows positioned
so that the vertical board joints are staggered and overlapped at the building corners. It
is unacceptable to fit the edges of the insulation boards with the edges of the reveals
on the façade. As the adhesive is applied, the board should be placed onto the substrate,
moved tightly to the already fixed boards and pressed – be sure to control the plane
with a level. If the adhesive is squeezed out the board contour, it should be removed. If
there are gaps between adjoining boards, we recommend filling them with cut stripes
of polystyrene or low expansion polyurethane foam.
Reveals corners strengthening
Mechanical fixing
The additional fixing with the use of mechanical fasteners with plastic pins can commence after ca. 24 hours from the boards application.
Detailed information about the number of fixings, their distribution,
length and depth of anchorage should be specified in the thermal
insulation technical design and meet the requirements of the fixings
manufacturers.
Base coat (reinforced layer) application
The base coat can be installed once the adhesive mortar used for board
application has sufficiently set and any necessary additional mechanical fixings have been installed (after three days on average). Apply the
adhesive mortar onto the surface of the installed insulation boards and
spread it using a notched trowel (notch size 10 - 12 mm). The adhesive
should be spread in vertical strips of width slightly greater than the fiberglass mesh width. Then, starting from the top, subsequent strips of
mesh are applied and in a few points along the entire length embedded in the prepared adhesive layer. The adjoining strips of mesh should
overlap horizontally and vertically by a minimum coverage of 10 cm (15
cm in quoins). Mesh overlaps should not coincide with the joints between the insulation boards. When applied, the mesh should be carefully embed in the adhesive. In order to embed the mesh evenly, the
adhesive is squeezed with the slightly inclined trowel led from the top,
in the direction from the center to the mesh strip side. The correctly
embedded mesh should be completely not visible under adhesive coat
and should not be in direct contact with the polystyrene boards surface.
Façade finishing
The outer layer of the system may be a thin-coat render solely or a thincoat render coated with a façade paint. The execution of the finishing
layer can start after ca. 3 days from the reinforced layer installation. You
can use thin - coat render: ATLAS CERMIT (mineral or acrylic), ATLAS
SILKAT (silicate) or ATLAS SILKON (silicone). The renders surface can be
painted optionally with ATLAS ARKOL E, ATLAS ARKOL S, ATLAS ARKOL
N or ATLAS FASTEL NOVA façade paints. All works must be performed
in accordance with the technology described in the technical data
sheets of the individual products.

„„ Use
Insulation fixing - basic
The system is designed for installation of the external wall insulation of
buildings - it may be used both on the rendered/plastered façades and rough walls
made of bricks and blocks (ceramic, cement-lime, stone, of aerated concrete and
concrete - monolithic or precast).
For thermal insulation with the use of mineral wool - both the façade panels (of
thickness 50 - 250 mm) and the lamella panels (of thickness 20 - 250 mm).
For thermal insulation of buildings irrespectively of their height - especially for
high buildings and skyscrapers (above 25 m).
Recommended for thermal insulation works in the traditional constructions, energy- saving and passive ones - due to non - flammability the system is recommended
for thermal insulation of public access buildings, schools, hospitals, etc.
„„ Properties
The system meets European technical requirements - designed for thermal insulation systems throughout the European Union.
Increases fire protection of buildings - increases the safety of their users protecting
the construction elements against fire. The system is non-flammable (with mineral
renders) and fire retardant.
Very high vapour permeability - does not restrict the water vapour flow through
the insulated partition, allowing free drying of the wall technological moisture (diffusion resistance coefficient 0.12 m for the system with mineral render finishing coat).
Provides legally required external wall insulation - ensures heat loss and heating
costs reduction.
Impact resistance - the system has been classified as Category I or Category II, depending on the finishing coat type.
Safety of use - the system has been tested in wind load resistance, which is especially important in case of high buildings or located in the mountains or by the sea.
Allows to install the thermal insulation on surfaces of irregular shapes - with the use
of lamella panels.
A complete set of materials for thermal insulation installation - provides full and
checked compatibility of all components, which is particularly important during the
subsequent years of system operation.
Increases durability of external walls - protecting them from direct exposure to
weather conditions.
„„ General system characteristic
ATLAS ROKER system is an external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS). The thermal
insulation technology consists in the application of mineral wool panels (MW) onto the
outer side of the wall, next the installation of a base coat with reinforcing fiberglass mesh,
and further application of the finishing layer made of thin - coat render.
„„ System elements
According to the current regulations the thermal insulation system is considered in its entirety
as one construction product, therefore it must be applied with the layers arrangement and
with materials which are described in its technical approval. It is unacceptable to use the
so-called compilations or to use products from other systems or from other manufacturers,
which are not covered by the technical approval.

„„ Requirements for execution of thermal insualtion works
Work conditions
Carry out the work in dry weather, at the substrate and ambient temperature not lower than +5 °C and not higher than +30 °C. The façade
should be on time of thermal insulation work protected and secured
against precipitation, strong wind and direct sunlight - it is recommended to use fine mesh scaffolding covers. Insulation works should
be carried out in dry conditions (no precipitation, relative humidity below 80%).
„„ Substrate preparation
General instructions
Before the work commencement, evaluate the substrate technical condition and on that basis decide on the scope and the method of surface
preparation. For the time of works remove any elements hindering tight
adhesion of the thermal insulation panels and the finishing coat application. An additional layer of insulation will increase the thickness of the
walls, and therefore it will cause the need to increase the reach of flashings, downspouts anchors, etc. For the time of works the windows and
doors should be protected against the dirt by a plastic film.
E X T E R N A L T H E R MA L I N S U L AT I O N CO M P O S I T E S YS T E M S ( E T I C S )
Requirements for the substrate
The substrate should be aged, sound, stable, even, clean and dry. The absorbent substrates should be primed with ATLAS UNI-GRUNT, smooth and non-absorbent (concrete) with ATLAS CERPLAST. The substrate should be even to the extent enabling easy
execution of a plane formed by the bonded insulation panels on the walls. Clean the
surface from any layers which may weaken mortar adhesion, dirt, loose and dusty elements. Note! Particular attention should be paid to the proper assessment and preparation of substrate with problematic bearing capacity, e.g. finished with glass-mosaics,
glazed brick, covered with paint coats, etc. If in doubt, conduct a pull - off test of adhesion (the ultimate tensile strength should be above 0.08 MPa) or apply 8÷10 cubes of
mineral wool 10x10 cm each, in various places of the façade and tear them off after
3 days. The use of thermal insulation system for buildings with reinforced concrete
sandwich walls, should always be preceded by a thorough assessment of their technical condition. This applies to the technical condition of the metal fittings (hooks, pins,
rods) as well as to how they are connected and interact with the elements of the wall.
Starter tracks installation
The insulation should be commenced with the installation of the starter tracks. They support the first row of thermal insulation boards, facilitate to maintain the uniform level of
successive layers, strengthen the bottom edge of the system, and the bottom edge drip
prevents water bleeding. The boards should be installed horizontally on the plinth of the
building, not lower than 30 cm above the ground level, which provides protection from
the effects of rising damp and protects against dirt - mud particles brought by raindrops
reflected from the ground. Instead of skirting boards, it is permitted to use strips of armour
mesh or two layers of fiberglass mesh.
„„ Thermal insulation application
Mineral wool panels application
The adhesive can be applied onto the panels with two methods: partly with the “strip point” method or fully (lamella panels or façade wool panels, but only on respectively
even substrates). In both cases, the surface of the panel should be floated with thin layer
of adhesive mortar, pressed into the structure of wool by stripping using the edge of a
steel trowel. This activity is designed to pre-moisten the wool fibers and improve adhesion. Then, in the case of partial application, apply the proper layer of adhesive in the
form of continuous circumferential bead (3÷5 cm wide) at the edge of the panel and 6÷8
patches of 8÷12 cm in diameter evenly distributed on the whole surface. The adhesive
mortar applied on panel should cover at least 40% of its surface. In the case of full adhesive application, the adhesive is applied onto the entire surface of the panel with the use
of smooth float and then profiled with notched trowel (notch height of 8 - 12 mm). As
the adhesive is applied on the underside of the panels, both façade or lamella, the panels
should be applied onto the substrate, lightly moved and pressed. The subsequent panels
rows should be positioned so that the vertical panel joints are staggered and overlapped.
It is unacceptable to leave gaps between adjacent panels or adhesive residues in the
joints. Control the plane with a level continuously. Pressing and correcting of panels position is allowed only with the use of wooden float with round edges.
Base coat (reinforced layer) application
The base coat can be installed once the adhesive mortar used for panel
application has sufficiently set and any necessary additional mechanical fixings have been installed (after three days on average). Apply the
adhesive mortar onto the surface of the installed insulation panels and
spread it using a notched trowel (notch size 10 - 12 mm). The adhesive
should be spread in vertical strips of width slightly greater than the fiberglass mesh width. Then, starting from the top, subsequent strips of
mesh are applied and in a few points along the entire length embedded
in the prepared adhesive layer. The adjoining strips of mesh should overlap horizontally and vertically by a minimum coverage of 10 cm (15 cm
in quoins). Mesh overlaps should not coincide with the joints between
the insulation panels. When applied, the mesh should be carefully embed in the adhesive. In order to embed the mesh evenly, the adhesive
is squeezed with the slightly inclined trowel led from the top, in the direction from the center to the mesh strip side. The correctly embedded
mesh should be completely not visible under adhesive coat and should
not be in direct contact with the mineral wool panels surface.
Façade finishing
The outer layer of the system may be a thin-coat render solely or a thincoat render coated with a façade paint. The execution of the finishing
layer can start after ca. 3 days from the reinforced layer installation. You
can use thin - coat render: ATLAS CERMIT (mineral), ATLAS SILKAT (silicate) or ATLAS SILKON (silicone). The renders surface can be painted optionally with ATLAS ARKOL S, ATLAS ARKOL N or ATLAS FASTEL NOVA
façade paints. All works must be performed in accordance with the technology described in the technical data sheets of the individual products.

Installation of additional elements
In order to increase the system resistance against mechanical damage, to allow free
drainage and execution of expansion joints - the finishing profiles should be installed
on the fixed insulation layer. These profiles are installed at every specific locations of the
façade (i.e. corners, reveals, sills, etc.). They can also be simultaneously installed during
the base coat mesh embedding.
Reveals corners strengthening
In all corners of window and door reveals, additional reinforcing mesh strips (rectangles
with dimensions of 20 x 35 cm) embedded in the adhesive mortar ATLAS ROKER W-20
should be installed. The strips should be applied diagonally, at a 45° angle in relation to
the line set by the edges of the reveals.
Mechanical fixing
The additional fixing with the use of plastic mechanical fasteners with steel pins can commence after ca. 24 hours from the panels application. Detailed information about the
number of fixings, their distribution, length and depth of anchorage should be specified
in the thermal insulation technical design and meet the requirements of the fixings and
mineral wool manufacturers. It is recommended to use 4 to 6 fixings per 1 m2 (buildings
up to 20 m high) and 6 to 10 (in buildings exceeding 20 m). The amount of fixings should
be bigger in the wall corners and edge zones of width of about 1.5 m.

„„ Substrate preparation
General recommendation
The insulation works should be conducted in accordance with the technical design prepared individually for an object. The design should include (at least): substrate preparation method, the thickness of the insulation material, the insulation application method, the type of the outer
layer and the technology of its application, the number and distribution
of mechanical fixings (if required), finishing of special zones. The design
should also include a range of thermal insulation works i.e., whether in
addition the ceiling plane insulation, other elements (columns, joists or
wall fragments) are to be insulated as well. For the time of works remove
any elements hindering tight adhesion of the thermal insulation panels
and the finishing coat application. Elements of the permanent equipment of the building (installations, ducts, etc.) must be protected from
contamination and/or damage. In the case of spray application of renders the floor should also be protected.
Requirements for the substrate
The substrate should be aged, sound, stable, even, clean and dry.
The absorbent substrates should be primed with ATLAS UNI-GRUNT,
smooth and non-absorbent (concrete) with ATLAS CERPLAST. The substrate should be even to the extent enabling easy execution of a plane

„„ Thermal insulation application
Standard (façade) wool panels application
It is recommended to use adhesive mortar and, obligatorily, mechanical fixings (4-6
pieces/1m2). The adhesive can be applied onto the panels with two methods: partly with
the “strip - point” method or fully (lamella panels or façade wool panels, but only on
respectively even substrates). In both cases, the surface of the panel should be floated
with thin layer of adhesive mortar, pressed into the structure of wool by stripping using
the edge of a steel trowel. This activity is designed to pre-moisten the wool fibers and
improve adhesion. Then, in the case of partial application, apply the proper layer of adhesive in the form of continuous circumferential bead (3÷5 cm wide) at the edge of the
panel and 6÷8 patches of 8÷12 cm in diameter evenly distributed on the whole surface.
The adhesive mortar applied onto panel should cover at least 40% of its surface. In the
case of full adhesive application, the adhesive is applied onto the entire surface of the
panel with the use of smooth float and then profiled with notched trowel (notch height
of 8 - 12 mm).
Lamella wool panels application
In the case of lamella wool, to the panels may be applied onto the substrate with the use
of adhesive mortar solely (without mechanical fixings) in the following cases: when the
substrate is rough (not rendered), its ultimate tensile strength is higher than 0.08 MPa
and when the thermal insulation is executed on the height not exceeding 20 m. In that
situations the adhesive mortar layer should be spread on the whole mineral wool panel
surface. In other conditions the lamella panels should be fixed with the use of adhesive
mortar and mechanical fixings. As the adhesive is applied on the underside of the panels, they should be applied to the substrate, lightly moved and pressed. The subsequent
panels rows should be positioned so that the vertical panel joints are staggered and overlapped. It is unacceptable to leave gaps between adjacent panels or adhesive residues in
the joints. Control the plane with a level continuously. Pressing and correcting the panels
position is allowed only with the use of wooden float with round edges. Installation of
the mechanical fixings can commence after about 24 hours from the panels application.
Detailed information about the number of fixings, their distribution, length and depth of
anchorage should be specified in the thermal insulation technical design and meet the
requirements of the fixings and mineral wool manufacturers.
„„ Finishing coat
„„ Option II
In the system option II, the fixed thermal insulation is covered with the
reinforced layer (base coat) installed with the same method as in option I. Then, the thin - coat render is applied and optionally painted. After about 3 days from application of the base coat, its surface may be
primed with a priming mass appropriate for the type of render and after
the mass drying - coated with the thin - coat render. The use of priming
mass improves the adhesion of the render to the substrate and prevents
contamination of the rendering coat by the adhesive mortar. You can
use the following renders: ATLAS CERMIT (mineral), ATLAS SILKAT (silicate) or ATLAS SILKON (silicone). The render surface may be painted optionally with ATLAS ARKOL S, ATLAS ARKOL N, ATLAS ARKOL E or ATLAS
FASTEL NOVA paints. All works must be performed in accordance with
the technology described in the technical data sheets of the individual
products.
„„ Option III
For option III the reinforced layer is not installed and the thin-coat render is spray - applied directly onto the lamella wool panels surface.
In the case of mineral wool boards factory - impregnated the use of additional priming masses is not required. If the mineral wool surface is not
pre - impregnated, use ATLAS CERPLAST priming mass, which is spray
- applied onto the applied panels surface. It is possible to use a mineral
render, stirred with water before use, or acrylic render provided to the
site in the form of ready-to-use mass. All works must be performed in
accordance with the technology described in the technical data sheets
of the individual products.

The technology of the finishing coat application depends on the ATLAS ROKER G system
option used, i.e. I, II or III.
„„ Option I
In the system option I, the fixed thermal insulation is covered with the reinforced layer
(base coat) which may be painted with one of the façade paints. The base coat can be
installed after min. 3 days from the panels application. Apply the ATLAS ROKER W-20
adhesive mortar onto the surface of the installed insulation panels evenly and embed subsequent mesh strips. The correctly embedded mesh should be completely
not visible under adhesive coat and should not be in direct contact with the mineral
wool panels surface. The adjoining strips of mesh should overlap by a minimum coverage of 10 cm. Mesh overlaps should not coincide with the joints between the insulation panels. The last step is smoothing the base coat with a steel float. After about 3
days from application of the base coat, its surface may be primed with a primer appropriate for the type of paint and then coated with façade paint. The following paints
can be used for the base coat painting: ATLAS ARKOL S, ATLAS ARKOL N, ATLAS ARKOL E or ATLAS FASTEL NOVA. All works must be performed in accordance with the
technology described in the technical data sheets of the individual products. Note!
In case of thermal insulation application in open garages, over the crossings, etc.,
where there is a possibility of insulation moistening by jamming rain or snow, it
is obligatory to apply the thin - coat render both on walls and ceilings, and in the
edge zones of the insulation. The edge zones should be understood as insulation
at a distance of not less than 3 m from the edge exposed to the rain, with the exception of entries where this distance should be 10 m.

„„ General system characteristic
„„ Requirements for execution of thermal insulation works
The thermal insulation technology is based on installation of an extra outer thermal insulation layer onto the existing external wall insulation. This system consists of polystyrene
as thermal insulation material, reinforced layer made of adhesive and reinforcing mesh,
a layer of render and decorative paint coat (optionally). Polystyrene boards are attached
with the use of adhesive mortar and mechanical fixings. The use of mechanical fixings
is obligatory regardless of the height of the building. ATLAS RENOTER is a system that
is fastened mechanically, i.e. loads are completely transmitted by mechanical connections, and the adhesive provides a flat adherence of the system to the substrate (acts as
an assembly). The construction material layer of the outer wall of the building should
always be treated as the substrate, not the existing layer of thermal insulation. Fixings
should therefore go through all the layers of the existing insulation. This fact should be
taken into account during designing and selection of mechanical fixings.
Work conditions
Carry out the work in dry weather, at the substrate and ambient temperature not lower than +5°C and not higher than +30°C. The only
exception is the ATLAS STOPTER K-20 adhesive, which can also be
used at 0°C, assuming that after 8 hours from the work completion the
temperature does not drop below -5°C.

„„ Substrate preparation
Reveals corners strengthening
General instructions
In all corners of window and door reveals, additional reinforcing
mesh strips (rectangles with dimensions of 20 x 35 cm) embedded
in the adhesive mortar ATLAS STOPTER K-20, ATLAS STOPTER K-50 or
ATLAS HOTER U should be installed. The strips should be applied diagonally, at a 45° angle in relation to the line set by the edges of the reveals.
Before the work commencement is necessary to carry out an inspection at the site of the
system installation, cataloguing and providing full evaluation of the technical condition
of the existing insulation. The cataloguing should consist in completing the available
documentation (design, construction log, etc.), determining the type of wall partition
and construction material used, the type and thickness of the insulation used, verification
of the mechanical fixings use and checking the type of the surface layer and whether it
was painted. It is recommended to carry out excavations, the number depending the
size of the building, preferably on each wall of the building. Assessment of technical condition of the old thermal insulation should determine the current condition of the individual layers of the system, their adhesion to the substrate and interlayer one and should
allow to establish and identify the type and extent of damage. Basing on the information
gathered, appropriate for the situation, technology of thermal insulation work and the
method of preparation of the existing thermal insulation should be chosen. Caution! For
buildings with three-layered reinforced concrete walls, making an additional layer of insulation should be preceded by a service inspection in accordance with the recommendations in this regard, including ITB Instruction No. 360/99, 371/02, 374/02 and 447/2009.
For the time of works remove any elements hindering tight adhesion of the thermal
insulation boards and the finishing coat application. An additional layer of insulation will
increase the thickness of the walls, and therefore it will cause the need to increase the
reach of flashings, downspouts anchors, etc. For the time of works the windows and
doors should be protected against the dirt by a plastic film.
„„ Thermal insulation application
Polystyrene boards application
In the case of even substrates, the mortar can be applied with the use of a notched
trowel (with notch size 12 mm)– the adhesive is applied then directly onto the board
and not onto the substrate. In the case of less smooth surfaces the adhesive should be
spread on the board surface using the “strip - point” method. It consists in the application
of continuous circumferential bead (at least 3 cm wide) at the edge of the board and
6÷8 patches of 8÷12 cm in diameter evenly distributed on the whole surface. Peripheral
bead is placed at a distance from the edge, so that when pressed to the wall the mortar is
not squeezed out of the contour and side edges. The adhesive mortar applied on board
should cover at least 40% of its surface (after pressing down to the substrate at least
60%).Thermal insulation application should commence from the building corners. The
first row of the boards is fixed on the starter tracks, the subsequent rows positioned so
that the vertical board joints are staggered and overlapped at the building corners. It is
unacceptable to fit the edges of the insulation boards with the edges of the reveals on
the façade. As the adhesive is applied, the board should be placed onto the substrate,
moved tightly to the already fixed boards and pressed – be sure to control the plane
with a level. If the adhesive is squeezed out the board contour, it should be removed. If
there are gaps between adjoining boards, we recommend filling them with cut stripes of
polystyrene or low expansion polyurethane foam.
Insulation boards sanding
The surface of insulating boards applied to the substrate should be even, so when the
mortar sets (after ca. 24 h), the boards should be sanded with the use of sanding boards
or floats covered with coarse sanding paper. It eliminates any board edges slips. In the
case of polystyrene boards installed 3 months earlier or more sanding and removal of any
surface tarnish is mandatory.
Base coat (reinforced layer) application
The base coat can be installed once the adhesive mortar used
for board application has sufficiently set and any necessary additional
mechanical fixings have been installed (after three days on average).
Apply the adhesive mortar onto the surface of the installed insulation
boards and spread it using a notched trowel (notch size 10 - 12 mm).
The adhesive should be spread in vertical strips of width slightly greater
than the fiberglass mesh width. Then, starting from the top, subsequent strips of mesh are applied and in a few points along the entire
length embedded in the prepared adhesive layer. The adjoining strips
of mesh should overlap horizontally and vertically by a minimum coverage of 10 cm (15 cm in quoins). Mesh overlaps should not coincide
with the joints between the insulation boards. When applied, the mesh
should be carefully embed in the adhesive. In order to embed the mesh
evenly, the adhesive is squeezed with the slightly inclined trowel led
from the top, in the direction from the center to the mesh strip side.
The correctly embedded mesh should be completely not visible under
adhesive coat and should not be in direct contact with the polystyrene
boards surface.
Façade finishing
The outer layer of the system may be a thin-coat render solely or
a thin-coat render coated with a façade paint. The choice of the render
should be carried out including the insulated walls heat - and - moisture calculation as well as the conditions of thermal insulation system
usage. The execution of the finishing layer can start after ca. 3 days
from the reinforced layer installation. The base coat surface should be
primed with a priming mass adequate for the render type - for mineral
and acrylic renders – ATLAS CERPLAST, for silicate renders – ATLAS SILKAT ASX, for silicone renders – ATLAS SILKON ANX. If the reinforced layer
was installed with the use of ATLAS STOPTER K-50 adhesive mortar, no
priming mass is needed. You can use thin - coat render: ATLAS CERMIT
(mineral or acrylic), ATLAS SILKAT (silicate) or ATLAS SILKON (silicone).
The renders surface can be painted optionally with ATLAS ARKOL E, ATLAS ARKOL S, ATLAS ARKOL N or ATLAS FASTEL NOVA façade paints.
All works must be performed in accordance with the technology described in the technical data sheets of the individual products.
The above information constitutes basic guidelines for the application
of the product and does not release the user from the obligation of
carrying out works according to engineering principles and OHS
regulations.

Date of update: 2013-11-12
Mechanical fixing
Fixing with mechanical anchors (with pins of steel protected against corrosion
or of stainless steel)can commence after ca. 24 hours from the boards application. We
recommend using screwed - in fixings, in the amount of minimum 4 - 6 pieces per m2
of the façade. Fixings length should be the sum of the total thickness of the old thermal
insulation and new insulation material designed, whereas the anchoring depth in the
mineral substrate should be clearly defined in the technical design of thermal insulation.
Note! As the bearing substrate the layer of construction material of the outer wall of the
building should be considered. Detailed information about the number of fixings, their
distribution, length and depth of anchorage should be specified in the thermal insulation
technical design and should meet the requirements of the fixings manufacturers.
Installation of additional elements
In order to increase the system resistance against mechanical damage, to allow
free drainage and execution of expansion joints - the finishing profiles should be installed
on the fixed insulation layer. These profiles are installed at every specific locations of the
façade (i.e. corners, reveals, sills, etc.). They can also be simultaneously installed during the
base coat mesh embedding. For profiles embedding, use adhesive mortars ATLAS STOPTER K-20, ATLAS STOPTER K-50 or ATLAS HOTER U. The layout of the existing thermal
insulation expansion joints should also be preserved by applying appropriate expansion
joint profiles with mesh.

„„ Requirements for execution of thermal insulation works
Work conditions
Carry out the work in dry weather, at the substrate and ambient temperature not lower than +5°C and not higher than +30°C. The only exception is the ATLAS STOPTER K-20 adhesive, which can also be used at 0°C,
assuming that after 8 hours from the work completion the temperature
does not drop below -5°C. The façade should be on time of thermal insulation work protected and secured against precipitation, strong wind
and direct sunlight - it is recommended to use fine mesh scaffolding
covers. Insulation works should be carried out in dry conditions (no precipitation, relative humidity below 80%).
„„ Substrate preparation
General provisions
Before the work commencement, evaluate the substrate technical condition and on that basis decide on the scope and the method of surface
preparation. For the time of works remove any elements hindering tight
adhesion of the thermal insulation panels and the finishing coat application. An additional layer of insulation will increase the thickness of the
walls, and therefore it will cause the need to increase the reach of flashings, downspouts anchors, etc. For the time of works the windows and
doors should be protected against the dirt by a plastic film.
E X T E R N A L T H E R MA L I N S U L AT I O N CO M P O S I T E S YS T E M S ( E T I C S )
Requirements for the substrate
The substrate should be aged, sound, stable, even, clean and dry. The absorbent substrates should be primed with ATLAS UNI-GRUNT, smooth and non-absorbent (concrete)
with ATLAS CERPLAST. The substrate should be even to the extent enabling easy execution of a plane formed by the bonded insulation boards on the walls. Clean the surface
from any layers which may weaken mortar adhesion, dirt, loose and dusty elements.
Note! Particular attention should be paid to the proper assessment and preparation of
substrate with problematic bearing capacity, e.g. finished with glass-mosaics, glazed
brick, covered with paint coats, etc. If in doubt, conduct a pull - off test of adhesion (the
ultimate tensile strength should be above 0.08 MPa) or apply 8÷10 cubes of EPS 10x10
cm each, in various places of the façade and tear them off after 3 days. The use of thermal
insulation system for buildings with reinforced concrete sandwich walls, should always
be preceded by a thorough assessment of their technical condition. This applies to the
technical condition of the metal fittings (hooks, pins, rods) as well as to how they are connected and interact with the elements of the wall.
Starter tracks installation
The insulation should be commenced with the installation of the starter tracks. They
support the first row of thermal insulation boards, facilitate to maintain the uniform
level of successive layers, strengthen the bottom edge of the system, and the bottom
edge drip prevents water bleeding. The boards should be installed horizontally on the
plinth of the building, not lower than 30 cm above the ground level, which provides
protection from the effects of rising damp and protects against dirt - mud particles
brought by raindrops reflected from the ground. Instead of skirting boards, it is permitted to use strips of armour mesh or two layers of fiberglass mesh.
„„ Thermal insulation application
Polystyrene boards application
In the case of even substrates, the mortar can be applied with the use of a notched
trowel (with notch size 12 mm)– the adhesive is applied then directly onto the board
and not onto the substrate. In the case of less smooth surfaces the adhesive should be
spread on the board surface using the “strip - point” method. It consists in the application
of continuous circumferential bead (at least 3 cm wide) at the edge of the board and
6÷8 patches of 8÷12 cm in diameter evenly distributed on the whole surface. Peripheral
bead is placed at a distance from the edge, so that when pressed to the wall the mortar is
not squeezed out of the contour and side edges. The adhesive mortar applied on board
should cover at least 40% of its surface (after pressing down to the substrate at least
60%).Thermal insulation application should commence from the building corners. The
first row of the boards is fixed on the starter tracks, the subsequent rows positioned so
that the vertical board joints are staggered and overlapped at the building corners. It is
unacceptable to fit the edges of the insulation boards with the edges of the reveals on
the façade. As the adhesive is applied, the board should be placed onto the substrate,
moved tightly to the already fixed boards and pressed – be sure to control the plane
with a level. If the adhesive is squeezed out the board contour, it should be removed. If
there are gaps between adjoining boards, we recommend filling them with cut stripes of
polystyrene or low expansion polyurethane foam.
Insulation boards sanding
The surface of insulating boards applied to the substrate should be even, so when the
mortar sets (after ca. 24 h), the boards should be sanded with the use of sanding boards
or floats covered with coarse sanding paper. It eliminates any board edges slips. In the
case of polystyrene boards installed 3 months earlier or more sanding and removal of any
surface tarnish is mandatory.
Installation of additional elements
In order to increase the system resistance against mechanical damage, to allow free
drainage and execution of expansion joints - the finishing profiles should be installed on
the fixed thermal insulation layer. These profiles are installed at every specific locations of
the façade (i.e. corners, reveals, sills, etc.). They can also be simultaneously installed during
the base coat mesh embedding. For profiles embedding, use adhesive mortars ATLAS
STOPTER K-20 or ATLAS HOTER U.
Reveals corners strengthening
In all corners of window and door reveals, additional reinforcing mesh strips (rectangles
with dimensions of 20 x 30 cm) embedded in the adhesive mortar ATLAS STOPTER K-20
or ATLAS HOTER U should be installed. The strips should be applied diagonally, at a 45°
angle in relation to the line set by the edges of the reveals.
Base coat (reinforced layer) application
Because the finishing coat of ATLAS CERAMIK consists of ceramic tile cladding, it is required to apply the base coat (reinforced layer) and to install mechanical fixings in the
same work phase. For application of the reinforced layer two layers of mesh embedded
in ATLAS STOPTER K-20 or ATLAS HOTER U adhesives are used. Mechanical fixings are
installed through the first mesh layer. The base coat can be installed after min. 3 days
from the boards application. Apply the adhesive mortar onto the surface of the installed
insulation boards and spread it using a notched trowel (notch size 10 - 12 mm). The
adhesive should be spread in vertical strips of width slightly greater than the fiberglass
mesh width. Then, starting from the top, subsequent strips of mesh are applied and in a
few points along the entire length embedded in the prepared adhesive layer. The adjoining strips of mesh should overlap horizontally and vertically by a minimum coverage of
10 cm (15 cm in quoins). Mesh overlaps should not coincide with the joints between the
insulation boards. When applied, the mesh should be carefully embed in the adhesive.
In order to embed the mesh evenly, the adhesive is squeezed with the slightly inclined
trowel led from the top, in the direction from the center to the mesh strip side. The
correctly embedded mesh should be completely not visible under adhesive coat and
should not be in direct contact with the polystyrene boards surface. The next step is the
installation of mechanical fixings through the first layer of mesh. The fixings should be
with galvanized steel pin, in an amount of min. 8 pcs per 1 m2. Detailed
information about the number of fixings, their distribution, length and
depth of anchorage should be specified in the thermal insulation technical design. When fixings are properly installed, their plates should be
lightly pressed into the adhesive layer. Then the entire surface should
be covered with the next fiberglass mesh embedded thoroughly in the
mortar and smoothed with a float.
„„ Cladding application
Contact layer application
After ca. 3 days from reinforced layer application, the contact layer
made of ATLAS CERPLAST priming mass might be made, however it
is not obligatory.
Ceramic cladding application
The deformable cement - based adhesives of C2TE S1 type according to the PN-EN 12004:2008 standard are recommended, i.e.
ATLAS PLUS, ATLAS PLUS WHITE or ATLAS PLUS EXPRESS. When
applying the tiles, one should pay special attention to ensure
proper adhesion of an adhesive in order to eliminate the possible
cavities under the cladding, e.g. notched trowel marks. Taking
these factors into account, it is recommended to use the ‘double
spreading’ method, consisting in the distribution of an adhesive
both onto the substrate - with a notched trowel, and on the bottom side of the tile - with the smooth side of a trowel.
Only then after the tile is pressed to the substrate and slightly
moved. Follow the adhesive coat thickness advised in the technical data sheets. Do not cover too large area with an adhesive at
the same time, as the spread adhesive retains its binding properties for 10 - 30 minutes (depending on the substrate and ambient
characteristics). The position of a tile can be adjusted delicately
within 10 minutes after it is pressed. Remove the excess of the
adhesive appearing in the joints after pressing the tile immediately.
Grouting
The grouting of the ceramic cladding should be commenced after the complete setting of adhesive, i.e. after ca 24 h from the
tiles application. It is recommended to use ATLAS ARTIS GROUT.
Due to cladding operation conditions the width of the joints
should be within the range from 6 mm to 20 mm (the width
should be adequate to the size of the tiles used) and the percentage of the joints on the entire surface should not be less than 6%.
In order to avoid various colour shades, it is recommended to
use grout of the same manufacturing date and the same batch
number (shown on the packaging). Conduct the grouting of the
same plane with no breaks and on adjoining scaffolding levels,
using the compound of the same manufacturing date and batch
number. Keep equal water/dry mix proportions. The cladding
should be protected against precipitation (mesh covers on scaffoldings) within min. 3 days from its application; it refers to the
temperature of +20 °C and relative humidity of 60%; in less positive conditions the slower setting of the used materials should
be considered.
Expansion joints of the ceramic cladding
The construction and plane expansion joints of the insulation as
well as the angle ones should be repeated on the surface of
the ceramic cladding. The surface should be divided into smaller
sections of max. 9 m2. In case of installation of the ATLAS CERAMIK thermal insulation system on large and high façades it is
recommended to apply additional horizontal consoles or stabilizing brackets.

REINFORCING FIBERGLASS MESHES
• resistant to alkali
• durable
• flexible
„„ Use
„„ Base coat installation
For the reinforced layer (base coat) installation – to be embedded in the adhesive layer during installation of thermal insulation systems both with polystyrene and
mineral wool.
Element of external wall insulation systems - covered with Domestic Approvals
(AT) and European Technical Approvals (ETA).
The base coat (reinforced layer) installation can commence after the
adhesive used for fixing the thermal insulation boards has properly
set and additional mechanical fixings have been installed (usually after
three days). Apply the adhesive evenly over the whole surface of thermal
insulation and embed consecutive strips of mesh into it. Put the mesh
strips vertically – from top to bottom. It is most convenient to press the
mesh into the adhesive in a few spots only and then embed the whole
strip using a notched trowel. Properly set mesh should be embedded
in the adhesive layer not deeper than a half of the layer thickness and
therefore be completely invisible under the surface of the adhesive and
should not contact the surface of the boards. The base coat should be
ca. 3 mm thick and be a continuous layer, i.e. consecutive strips should
be applied with at least 10 cm overlap both vertically and horizontally
and 15 cm overlap at the corners. The overlaps of the mesh cannot correspond with the joints between polystyrene boards. After embedding
the mesh, carefully float the adhesive layer with a smooth steel float.
„„ Properties
Durable – consists of interlacing weft and warp yarns creating strong gauze weave,
providing the mesh with high mechanical resistance and preventing the yarns from
slipping out of position.
Flexible – ensures compensation of thermal and mechanical deformations the thermal insulation system is subject to during operation, prevents formation of cracks in
the façade layers and enables obtaining of stable substrate for the rendering coat.
Resistant to alkali – the yarns are protected against aggressive alkali present in adhesive mortars, by immersion in acrylic bath.
„„ Technical data
The mesh is manufactured of fiber glass, protected against aggressive alkali present in
adhesive mortars, by immersion in acrylic bath.
„„ Important technical information
• The properties of the mesh are fully utilized when it is applied together with the other
elements of the system in accordance to its execution technology.
• The mesh has to be stored in vertical position, in dry, airy rooms, away from heating
devices.
Note: The mesh must not be exposed to direct sunshine and atmospheric factors.

FAÇADE FINISHING PROFILES
• for protection of the corners of the building
• for expansion joints for the thermal insulation system
• resistant to weather conditions
• resistant to mechanical damage
• easy and fast assembly
„„ Use
„„ Technical data
Protect and provide expansion joints for specific areas of the insulated façade –
they are used in all ATLAS thermal insulation systems. They reinforce the corners of the
insulated façades and all kinds of edges of concrete and ferroconcrete elements, e.g.
repaired with ATLAS BETONER system.
Provide effective runoff of precipitation water – from the surface of the façade and
other construction elements.
Constitute expansion joints – they separate elements of façade differing in the load
bearing or properties, e.g. thermal expansion.
Enable transferring the construction expansion joints of the building onto the
thermal insulation system layers.
Even the edges and give them aesthetic appearance.
The finishing profiles are made of high quality PVC granulate (without
cadmium).
„„ Properties
Long time durability – they are resistant to weather conditions, aggressive effects of
polluted environment and other construction materials, ageing and UV rays.
Resistant to mechanical damage during transport, storage and operation – owing
to the application of hard and highly flexible PVC profile.
Thermal expansion of the profiles and thermal insulation materials is similar –
eliminates the risk of damage to the render.
Easy and fast assembly – allow to save about 15% of time at reveals treatment.
Equipped with reinforcement mesh – 10 cm wide, made of fiber glass, additionally
reinforcing the area along the edges; owing to acrylic bathing, it is protected against
the influence of alkaline environment.
Joints of the profile and the mesh are executed in high frequency welding technology – which makes them much more durable and resistant than methods used so
far, e.g. gluing.
The finishing profile are manufactured in white (RAL 9010) colour and the elements
of the profile made in co-extrusion technology are grey.
The profiles can be painted with acrylic or silicone façade paints – e.g. ATLAS ARKOL E
or ATLAS ARKOL N.

„„ General principles of finishing profiles application
The finishing profiles are applied after the thermal insulation layer has been fixed, before or
during the installation of the reinforced layer of the system. Apply adhesive used for mesh
embedding, e.g. ATLAS STOPTER K-20, ATLAS STOPTER K-50, ATLAS HOTER U or ATLAS ROKER
W-20 along the edge on which the profile is to be installed. Put the profile against the edge,
embedding its reinforcement mesh into the freshly applied mortar so that the mesh is not
visible. When the adhesive dries, the execution of the reinforced layer of the system on the
whole façade surface can start. The reinforcement mesh of the system should completely
cover the finishing profile mesh.
Cut the finishing profiles to the desired size with shears for PVC strips. Join perpendicular sections by cutting the ends at the angle less than 45° and filling in the space with a silicone filler.
PROTECTIVE PROFILES
Drip profile
Drip profiles are installed on horizontal edges of window and door
reveals and other façade recesses. They are also applied on bottom
edges of balcony slabs; the mesh is embedded in the finishing layer
e.g. ATLAS ENDER in ATLAS BETONER repair system. They are also fixed
on the bottom edge of the thermal insulation if the skirting board
cannot be used, e.g. thermal insulation panels are thicker than the
largest available board size. First of all, they provide correct runoff of water flowing down
the vertical façade surfaces, eliminating this way the risk of stains and render damage.
The profiles also protect the edge from mechanical damage.
Corner profile
Corner profiles are fixed on various edges exposed to mechanical
damage during usage of the façade, like door and window reveals,
corners, etc. The flexibility of the materials prevents mechanical impact
from causing permanent damage to the corner.
EXPANISON JOINT PROFILES
Window profile
Window profiles are fixed between window or door frame woodwork
and finishing layers of the thermal insulation system. They are available
in two widths: 6 and 9 mm. The window profile has a polyurethane
tape that eliminates render cracks and damages resulting from differences in thermal expansion of the reveals and renders. Moreover,
it facilitates the application and control of render thickness and protects woodwork from dirt during works – quick and easy fixing of the protective foil to
the profile “flap” and then quick removal by breaking off the flap with the used foil after
completion of the works. The window profile protects the space between the casing
and render against humidity, dirt, microorganisms and insects and improves thermal,
sound and damp insulation there. It can be used for all types of joinery (wood, PVC,
aluminum). Select the type of profile (6 or 9 mm) appropriately to the assumed thickness
of the reinforced layer and render. Mark the planned contact line with the render coat on
the casing and then remove the white protective strip from the polyurethane tape and
adhere the profile to the casing so that its edge corresponds with the line marked on the
casing. The profile is always fixed with the “flap” towards the inside of the reveal. Remove
the yellow protective strip and attach appropriately cut foil in its place to protect the
joinery. Fill the inside of the profile completely with the reinforced layer and thin-coat
render. Break off the flap with the foil after work completion.
Expansion joint profile
The expansion joint profile is fixed between thermal insulation panels in places where
construction expansion joints run or if the thermal insulation layer
itself needs to be divided. It is available in two versions: straight –
expansion joint in the façade plane and angle - expansion joint in
the internal corner. The profile can be used in the expansion gap of
10 to 30 mm width. The profile consists of two parts: hard (PVC-U)
– contacting thermal insulation panels and soft (PVC-P) – filling the
space between them. The soft part is made in the co-extrusion process and therefore,
its joint with the hard part ensures very high durability and resistance.
The application of the expansion joint profile ensures permanent tightness (in regard to
humidity, dirt, microorganisms and insects) and proper correct cooperation of adjacent
parts of the building and thermal layer arrangement. The precondition to the tightness
of the whole expansion joint is the correct vertical arrangement of two adjacent profiles:
the upper one and the lower one.
They are joined by means of a special assembly section attached to each profile. It is
made of soft PVC-P and has adhesive layers (protected with a protective tape). Attach
the assembly section to the lower end of the upper profile (on the bottom side of its soft
part) and to the upper end of the lower profile (on the top side of the soft part). It is also
possible join profiles with overlaps – the upper profile needs to overlap the lower one.
To do that, cut off 10 mm sections from the hard part of the profile so that the overlap
is made only of the soft parts.
To obtain perfectly straight run of combined profiles, apply the attached plugs pressing
them from the bottom into the sticking out parts, “tips”, of the upper profile and then
the lower profile during assembly.
Note. Before the application of the expansion joint profile, fill the joint
with thermo-insulating material, e.g. polyethylene or polyurethane
backer. After the application of the profile, protect the joint against
soiling during the execution of the reinforced layer or the render. For
that purpose, put foamed polystyrene strips into the joint and remove
them after the rendering is completed.
Sill profile
The profile is fixed under the sill, ensuring appropriate expansion joints between the sill and thermal
insulation system layers. The application of the sill
profile ensures permanent tightness (to humidity,
dirt, microorganisms and insects) and stiffens the sill
(owing to the appropriately shaped upper surface
of the profile). The sill profile has a polyethylene tape that eliminates
render cracks and damages resulting from different thermal expansion of materials. Moreover, it facilitates the application and control of
render thickness.
When fixing the profile, pay special attention to cutting of thermal
insulation boards exactly to reveal clearance and that the profile is fixed
horizontally. Directly before profile fixing, remove the protective tape
from the polyethylene foam strip.
„„ Important additional information
• It is not recommended to use agents containing chlorine for cleaning the profiles.
• Fix profiles in temperature above 5°C. At temperatures from 5°C to
15°C, expect lower flexibility of the profile.
• During storage and transport, protect the profiles against deformation – horizontal position, dry, heated room (temperature above 5°C).
Shelf life in conditions as specified is 18 months from the production
date shown on the packaging.
