Facade insulated plates. Panels for outdoor finishing house with insulation

The heat-saving facing panels for the outer finish of the facades perform the function of the finishing material together with the insulation of the room. The use of them is much more economical than the purchase of ordinary panels and insulation separately. The structure of all thermal insulation panels is equally. A two- or three-layer stove has a basis - insulation, which is used by foam, minvatu. From above, the insulation is covered with a protective layer. On the front side, the facade panels with insulation are covered with a decorative layer. The most popular heat-saving plates made under the brick, stone, clinker tiles.

Thermal insulation facing plates are used to finish new buildings and restoration of old buildings. Their installation does not require alignment of the walls. It is enough to fasten the crate on the facade and you can start facing the building. Light weight and convenient mounting design allows you to make a fitting house with heat-saving plates on their own without assistance:

Advantages and disadvantages

The dignity of the material include the following indicators:

• reducing 40% of expenses for winter heating and summer air conditioning. For a couple of seasons, cladding costs pay off by energy saving;
• easy cladding does not create additional pressure on the foundation of the house;
• beautiful decorative coating is resistant to external mechanical effects, chemical compounds, negative weather conditions;
• the possibility of self-installation at any time of the year.

There are few flaws from the slab. We must pay attention to the following nuances:

• two-layer plates with long-term storage are deformed. This is due to the different density of the components of the material layers. The three-layer panels are painlessly transfer this process, but their cost is slightly larger;
• cheap plates with imitation under the brick need grout after mounting. This work time work can be avoided by purchasing more expensive plates with the finished factory grout.

Sandwich panels

The device of the sandwich panel represents a three-layer system consisting of an internal insulation protected on both sides of a facing coating:

Polyurethane foam, minvatu or polystyrene foaming are used as the insulation inner layer of the insulation. Together with adhesive composition, the insulation is attached to the outer skin with hot pressing. The resulting durable panel acquires a small weight with low thermal conductivity. The perfectly smooth surface does not require trim. The standard size of the sandwich panel has a width of 1200 mm, length can be from 1 to 12m, thickness - 50-250 mm.

Wall sandwich panels are used for facing facades, the construction of walls or partitions. For the convenience of mounting ends, plates are equipped with special locks. Wall plates are smooth or profiled surface. From the best parties have proven panels from backelovan plywood. The material is resistant to aggressive medium and high load.

Thermophali.

For the manufacture of clinker thermopanels, polyurethane foam and expanded polystyrene are used. The stove thickness is from 60 to 80 mm. The choice of thickness depends on the climatic zone where the house was built. Thermopanels are resistant to negative natural phenomena and are not affected by fungus. Under the compliance with the installation technology, the lifetime service reaches 50 years.

Facing thermopanels for stone

Clinker facing does not require much care, eliminating the host of the house from unnecessary work. The aesthetic type of thermopanel decorates the building and keeps heat. Modern manufacturers offer several types of clinker plates:

• facial coating of facade thermopadals with stone imitation decorates the appearance of the house. Facing removes walls from mechanical and natural damage. Today, clinker cladding under the stone is the most popular;
• facade thermopanels with imitation under brick are not inferior. Facing material is characterized by a low price. Imitating the natural building material brick, the plates create an attractive view of the facade with perfectly flat masonry. In real laying bricks, such results achieve difficult. Thermopanels under the brick are distinguished by moisture resistance and long service life;
• for lining of a wooden house, thermopanels with imitation of clinker tiles are used. Plates are mounted only on smooth walls. If the facade has big irregularities, it is first mounted by an antiseptic-treated wooden crate. Then the panels are fixed directly to it. The decorated wooden house under the clinker tile is difficult to distinguish from the panel building;
• the insulation of the base of the building is performed by the base thermopanels. To finish the base, it is customary to use clinker plates of dark shades with a larger pattern.

Decoration of the base of thermopanels

Thermopanel with decorative layer

Thermopanels for outdoor facing the facade with decorative plaster are made of foam plate and marble crumbs. The panels produce a thickness of 50-100 mm.

Decoration of thermopanels with marble crumb

The marble crumb in the form of plaster with a thickness of 4-5 mm is applied to the foam in the factory conditions. Plates are resistant to negative environmental exposure. The facade of the thermophane is glued with glue for foam. Mounted panels in two ways characterized by seaming seams:

• the seams formed between the stoves close up of a clutter paste. The minimum shrinkage of the paste ensures the presence in its composition of marble crumb. The paste is chosen under the color of the stove;
• seaming seams can be produced by an aluminum profile, which additionally attaches the panel to the wall. The profile is fixed with a dowel, inflicting a sealant panels between it and the intercom.

Features of the fastening of heat saving plates

To the smooth facade, any plates can be attached without a crate. On the wall, the most convex elevation is determined and relative to it is glued with the mounted foam of beacons in the same plane. But it is a very long and time-consuming process. It is better to mount the crate, which will additionally create a ventilated space between the wall and the facing. The design of the crate for each type of slabs is almost the same. There may be minor differences associated with the size and design feature of the panels. General installation instructions Next:

Installed in compliance with technology insulated front panels will serve for many years, while maintaining heat in the house and glad the beauty of others.

In contact with

The heat-saving facing panels for the outer finish of the facades perform the function of the finishing material together with the insulation of the room. The use of them is much more economical than the purchase of ordinary panels and insulation separately.

The structure of all thermal insulation panels is equally. A two- or three-layer stove has a basis - insulation, which is used by foam, minvatu. From above, the insulation is covered with a protective layer. On the front side, the facade panels with insulation are covered with a decorative layer. The most popular heat-saving plates made under the brick, stone, clinker tiles.

Types of facade panels for finishing the house outside.

Panels with insulation are produced in the form of blocks that are installed on the facade without the installation of the root. The thickness of the product ranges in the range of 6-12 cm. In addition to the layer of finishing and material, due to which heat insulation is ensured, at the bottom they can make a hard layer and built-in fasteners.

As a decorating surface use:

• clinker, glazed or porcelain tile with marble crumb for grouting seams;
• professional flooring with a pattern of natural materials or metal samples from aluminum;
• wood chips;
• imitation stone or marble.

Attention: For the convenience of facing the corners, special elements are available for them, which are selected as the main wall, or beautifully highlighted with another tint.

Finishing at home with sandwich panels.

This is a three-layer panels for the insulation of the facade of the house, which includes a heater and a facing coating on both sides. As a finish, manufacturers use samples from chips or metal. Such panels need extra coverage, as they do not look presented. From such panels can fully build new homes or insulate existing ones.

Facade insulated panels for outdoor decoration at the sandwich panels can be described as light, durable, heat-saving. They are produced by pressing insulation and outdoor casing. Sizes of such panels - 12 cm Width, 1-12 m Length, 0.5-2.5 cm Thickness. Mounting facilitated by the presence of special locks.

Decoration by thermopanels.

They are also durable, have a service life of up to 50 years. As a heater in the facade tile with insulation, mineral wool can not be used. Available different thicknesses - 6-8 cm, so to choose a guided climate of the place where the house is located.

The optimal thickness of the panels will prevent the destruction of the house due to the negative factors of the external environment or biological impact. Their main plus in the ease of care, because panels under the brick do not require a lot of attention and low price compared to the cost of natural bricks.

Thermopanel with plaster for outdoor finish of the facade of the house.

Looking like plaster panels for the facade, produced from the plate of foam as a heatel and marble crumb into 0.4-0.5 cm. Their thickness varies within 5-10 cm.

Due to the structure, insulated wall panels are successfully confronted by an aggressive environment and glued to the outer walls using conventional foam glue.

There are two similar ways to install panels that end with seams:

1. Standard grouting with a marble pattern to the sample.
2. By gluing pieces of profile on sealant.

Advantages and disadvantages of facade warmed panels.

The facade panel has an important advantage - this is the ability to give the facade of any structure a kind of aesthetically perfect brickwork. All seams are clearly expressed and are a geometrically verified drawing, create a similar pattern with simple facing brick is almost impossible. Also, when using thermopanels, there is no need for a painstaking choice of brick or stone shades.

If there are advantages, then there are disadvantages. Installing the warm panels can only be installed on the surfaces that have perfect smooth coating.

The following factor can be not considered for the lack. Insulated facade panels have a high price. But in the future you can save on the other. In most cases, the highest cost of goods indicates the high quality of the material.

It is impossible to leave a large space between the wall and thermopanels, as this can lead to the formation of condensate.

Conclusion.

Many developers and people who pose an external repair of the house carefully choose facing materials that correspond to their requirements for appearance and operational characteristics. In this regard, the facade insulated panels for house insulation are an excellent choice that allows you to "kill two hares": solve the problem with thermal insulation and transform the house to be unrecognizable in a matter of days.

The Following Two Tabs Change Content Below.

A person is found on "clothes", and the house by the facade. Since you are looking for information about facade panels with insulation, it is clear, you are not indifferent to the appearance of your dwelling. However, if thermopanels are:

• other benefits besides beauty?
• What, in general, is such thermopanels?
• How do they produce them?
• How to mount them?

About everything in order in the article and two additional videos in the middle.

Although for the CIS countries panel for the insulation of the facade of the house is something new, in Europe, the first houses with such insulation have appeared more than 50 years ago. This difference in the markets is not amazing, due to the greater value of the warm panels. In some sense, they can be called a semi-finished product. And, as you know, any semi-finished product costs more than cooking on your own.

In some sense, the panel can be called semi-finished

What kind of sandwich and what is eating it?

The front panels for the outer decoration of the house in essence represents the "sandwich", which consists of two or three layers:

• Decorative facing layer;
• Insulation;
• Internal base.

Most often on the domestic market there are clinker panels for the facade. This type of insulation system is a layer of polystyrene foam or polyurethane foam into which the clinker tile is recessed during the production process. Clinker is a durable material from clay, which is manufactured at a temperature of more than 1000 degrees Celsius.

Clinker is a durable material from clay

For the sake of justice it is worth saying that there are also panels covered with metal and decorative plaster. Why a little higher such kind of insulation was called a semi-finished product? For example, because a person himself can cover the wall with foam and stick to it clinker tiles. However, this approach will require much more time, and according to the results will be very different in the aesthetic properties.

Facade panels under the brick by foaming polystyrene or PPU (polyurethane foam), and then under pressure, as it were, put into the mass of clinker tiles. As a result, a durable facade element is obtained. For tile tiles, an effort of 300 kg should be applied. Hands will be very difficult. Although, for the sake of justice, it is worth calling that even the damaged element of the panel can be easily restored using a mounting foam. It is necessary to buy a suitable clinker tile (or use the one that disappeared and apply a small layer of foam on the tile and to the place where it should be glued. After that, it should be carefully attached to its original position. Just below we will discuss and three minuses of thermopanels. But, Since one of them is associated with installation, this issue will be discussed in the relevant section.

Is there an alternative?

Yes. Clinker tiles often imitates the brick, but someone will say, why imitate? It is possible to use clinker brick as a finish, but this one is suitable, has at least two drawbacks:

• Price. If you consider an expensive panel with insulation, believe me, the facing of the brick will be much more expensive;
• For bricks you need to erect separate foundation, And this is an extra time, strength and means.

Chose? Mount?

Insulated facade panels sit on the adhesive mixture or guides. But, before that, you must definitely be a brush to sweep the side faces of the panel. This is done for better clutch. If you chose the adhesive mixture, apply it to the back of the panel, making it so that some thin layer covered the entire panel, as well as in several places - in the corners and in the center, make "Lindes" in accordance with the facade terrain. Attach the panel to the wall and let it stand for 5-10 minutes. After the panel froze, you can proceed to adjustment. Set the panel using horizontal and vertical levels.

Starting the installation is needed from the corner of the bottom row, and it is worth notifying that there are special angular panels. Carefully set them up in the level even before applying the adhesive mixture - count it, and then mount more thoroughly on glue.

After a day after shrinkage on the glue panel with insulation, the umbrella dowels are attached to the pre-drilled holes between the seams.

The video shows how the guys from one Sumy firm deftly cope with the installation process:

Particularly difficult parts of walls

In places where the panel must adjust the window to the window or bypass, say, the gas pipe, you need to cut the panel. Use for this grinder with a diamond circle. As already mentioned, there are angular facade heat planes. In addition to ordinary and angular, there are also thermopanels for special conditions, for example, beveled, but in any case, "semi-finished product" also need to fry, but in our case, without a cutter can not do.

Apply to the finishi

The last two stages of the mounting of the facade tile with the insulation is grout. The pulp layer is applied to the entire surface and using a brush is frozen over the entire surface. It is necessary to conduct an extender at least in a day after shrinkage on glue (do not forget that there is still a fastening of dowels between these two stages). After the grout, you need to thoroughly wash the surface with a sponge. Statting the seams and their car wash is not a quick thing, but what to do, one of the minuses.

It is necessary to conduct the seams in the day after the shrinkage on the glue

Let's summarize our review and a small installation instructions for insulation of facades.

PROS:

• Ease of installation, lack of wet processes;
• Attractive appearance, imitating brick or stone;
• Good thermal insulation.

MINUSES:

• Higher cost, before, say, the plaster "Coroed";
• The need for careful grout of seams, followed by laundering a solution.

If you like to experiment, why not use warm facade panels? But it will be a rather long experiment. Wikipedia says that the panels serve from 50 to 100 years. So, to learn about the results, probably our grandchildren.

How to make the panel yourself?

As already mentioned, the manufacture of heat panels of the facade use PPU or foam. And this means that if the sheets of foam plastic paste the clinker tiles, then, in fact, thermopanels are obtained. Although, the work is time consuming, and will pay off hardly. In addition, there is a proposal for sale, which is called "CombiTers". This is a polystyrene leaf, with already glued clinker tiles. This solution will be cheaper than panels with filler PPU.

What do those who tried?

Below are three reviews of people who have already decided to use a panel with insulation as a finishing material for walls:

Yuri, 60 years old:

"The house was not warmed, I was asked, climbed on the Internet, found a firm that is engaged in the installation. From this it started, several objects looked, talked to people, liked it. We have a gas boiler, per month burned somewhere 350 cubes of gas. After the instess is obtained 250 maximum. In winter, they were kept in the hall of 24 degrees, in the bedroom 18-19. Now we go to the same 24 degrees, but with less consumption of gas. In the summer before insulation, the house was warm up to 28 degrees. Now much colder in the summer. Pluses almost all: thermal insulation, sound insulation, and decor. Of the minuses only rubbing. Pretty tedious event "

Alexey, 55 years old

"There was a question of the insulation of the house, so I looked at a lot of information on the Internet, found a clinker panel. I had a desire not just to insulate the foam, but insulate the foam and insulate the foam and put the clinker brick. But for this you needed to make a foundation for a brick, that is, it was a lot of costs. Therefore, given that thermopanels with clinker tiles are warm and reliable. My house was built by foam concrete baked silicate brick with an air layer. And even 8 centimeters insulated thermopanels. After insulation minus 100 gas cubes per month consumption. Real savings »

Andrei, 37 years

"Previously, let's say, in the house there was a temperature of 22-23, but the flow was very large. Now the temperature in the house is the same, but the gas consumption is much less. One and a half times exactly. 180-200 cubes we spend. Again, the house was old, wooden, trimmed with brick and was a draft, Blow. Now, when the thermopanels were insulated with heat. Before the insulation of condensate was not, and now after insulation, it was generally perfect, the house temperature is excellent and the gas consumption is less. There are no minuses, let's say, the only thing maybe the price, but again, if you take all the components, all these corners, it goes into the pros ".

Facade panels with insulation (thermopanels) combine two functions: thermal insulation and decorative.

The use of such products allows you to save time and money, as instead of conducting individual works on the insulation of walls and their facing, it is enough to install thermopanels.

The market presents a large variety of panels for outdoor finishing house of various colors and manufacturing materials.

General for all varieties of thermopadals is the presence of a minimum of two layers: an external decorative coating and an internal thermal insulation layer. The decorative coating performs the same functions as the classic facade panels: protection against mechanical damage and from wind and moisture, giving the walls of completed appearance.

Correct three-layer product options called sandwich panels. In them, the thermal insulation material is between two cladding layers made of metal.

For operation in conditions of high fire hazard, four-layer thermopanels are produced, in which there is a refractory material between the outer tiles and the insulation.

The main stages of the production of insulated articles with decorative coating: Preparation of block forms, foaming and drying granules of the insulation, laying the decorative layer in a block shape, adding granules, heating the construction of hot steam (it is necessary for the granules to expand and formed a layer of insulation), the cooling of the panel.

The main purpose of using warm panels is savings on the heating of the building, allowing you to recoup the costs of their acquisition and installation in the shortest possible time, subject to home in the region with relatively cold winters. They cost more than ordinary panels, but in most cases on separate purchasing of siding and insulation (and on their installation) will have to spend even more money.

It is possible to install the products on most of the twisted and inactive surfaces, including block and wooden walls, an unreleased brick, ceramzite concrete.

NOTE!

Thermopanels not only retain heat inside the building in the cold season, but also prevent its heating in the summer.

Decorative finish is performed from such materials:

• Clinker.
• Porcelain stoneware.
• Aluminum.
• Cink Steel.
• Completed wood chips.
• Compressed marble crumb.

The main materials of the insulation are ,. The average density of this layer is 40 kg 3 / m, the thermal conductivity is 0.020 W / m * C, the thickness is 6 centimeters and more.

The high density of the material not only allows you to better delay heat, but also increases its resistance to mechanical damage. The operating temperature range is in the interval - 170 / +170 C. Despite the high refractority, the possibility of burning the insulation is not completely excluded.

Panel mass varies in the range of 10-25 kilograms. An indicative life depends on the climatic conditions of the region, as a rule, it is 10-30 years.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages:

• Easy installation: if the wall is flat enough, you can install thermopanels even without prior arrangement of the crate.
• Reducing the cost of heating by 40-60%.
• Increase the fire resistance of the facade.
• Protection of walls from the penetration of fungi and mold.
• Although the connected panels and form a single whole, during operation you can easily withdraw individual products in order to replace them or repair.
• Moderate weight that does not create significant loads on the carrying construction and the foundation. For this reason, thermopanels are suitable for cladding old houses.
• A variety of options for textures and colors.
• A good version of the insulation of the walls.

Disadvantages:

• Insulation, with combustion, toxic substances are distinguished.
• When installing products to uneven surfaces, it is necessary to equip the crate, otherwise the panels are deformed and lose heat protection properties.
• The possibility of condensate formation between the supporting structure and panels in the violation of the installation technologies.
• The possibility of deformation of products during storage (relevant only for two-layer options).
• When using cheap thermopadals, you need to rub the seams between the products with special solutions.

Varieties

Thermopanels are classified by types of decorative finishes and based on insulation materials.

Insulation differ in density and operational features.

Four material uses in production:

• Extruded expanded polystyrene foam. Density - 35 kg / m 3. It has a relatively high coefficient of moisture absorption, coupled with the presence of internal voids This feature can lead to moisture in the insulation and the development of colonies of microorganisms. The service life is 15 years.
• Polyurethan (PPU). Density - 40 kg / m 3. It is not characterized by non-flammable, deprived of the disadvantages of polystyrene foam. The life of foamed polyurethane is 50-60 years.
• Styrofoam. Density - 20 kg / m 3. The most affordable and common option. Due to low density, it has the lowest thermal insulation characteristics. The advantages of foam panels include high elasticity.
• Mineral wool. Density - 145 kg / m 3. Because of a very large density, it loses shape over time, therefore it is desirable to use this insulation with a metal decorative layer.

The following variants of decorative finish are distinguished:

• Clinker tile. It is made of high-flatter clay, it is distinguished by increased wear resistance and low water supply coefficient. Clinker tile creates an additional protective layerLoading the load on the insulation. The only drawback is the high price (imported products especially road). As a rule, polyurethane foam insulation is covered with clinker.
• Ceramographic. It is made of a special powder under pressure at high temperatures. The powder includes quartz sand, clay, dyes and other additives. Has good performance characteristics, but has a significant drawback - a big weightnot allowing it to use it for finishing houses with a weak foundation.
• Aluminum and Steel. Used in the production of sandwich panels. Are the only options used with mineral wool insulation. Aluminum is a smaller weight, but more cost, and steel is a relatively budget option.

The most popular textures of thermopanel are brick and natural stone.

Manufacturers

The market presents both domestic and foreign companies. German manufacturers specialize in the manufacture of high-quality and expensive clinker tiles.

These include:

• Tm A. D. W. - Klinker.
• TM Stroeher.
• TM Ammonit Keramik.

Prices of their products start from 1,800 rubles per square meter of tiles.

Russian companies also produce clinker tiles, you can find them and other finishes.

1. "Workshop of facade materials". Produces a tile, imitating natural stone, brick and a German clinker. The insulation is used polystyrene foam with a layer thickness of 50 mm. The average price of products - 1500-1800 rubles.
2. FTP-Europa.. Muscal and porcelain stoneware thermopanel manufactures. Used insulation - polystyrene foam and polyurethane foam 60 or 80 mm thick. Product prices are within 1100 - 3600 rubles.
3. "Forester". Specializes in the production of budget options by the price of 1000 rubles. For 1 square. m. Uses the finished decorative finish purchased from Western companies, and connects it with insulation of polystyrene foam or polyurethane foam.
4. "Ermak". Specializes in the thermal stations of the average price category (1800 - 3000 rubles) based on polystyrene foam (with a thickness of 40 mm) and clinker tiles.

Installation

The heat panels can be installed directly onto the wall or on the crate (frame). Frameless installation involves feeding the tile to the wall using a dowel through the manufacturer of the hole in the product.

The frame method is more complicated. It is used if there are significant irregularities on the wall, capable of deforming the thermopanels.

Preparation of the Wall

The case is performed from wood or metal, the second option is more preferable. If a tree is used, then the beams are processed by an antiseptic.

The length of the vertical and horizontal steps of the crates is chosen so that they match the size of the panels, and the location of their mounting holes coincided with the centers of bars (or metal profiles).

The frame must create a flat plane, otherwise it makes no sense in its installation.

If there is a risk of delay in the space between the crate and thermopanels of heat and moisture, then it is filled with construction foam.

If there is no desire or ability to install the crate, you can align the wall with a cement solution. In practice, this method is more costly.

In the presence of the base, the building has pre-installed special base panels, characterized by increased thickness and durability.

Installation of panels

If the installation is made directly onto the wall, then the fasteners are carried out on the nail-dowel panels. Places for drilling holes in the tile are marked by most manufacturers.

Start laying it is necessary from the corners of the bottom of the wall. If in the kit there are angular panels, then they are installed in the first place.

Installing the main facing panels on the crate is carried out with the help of screws. Their thickness should exceed the thickness of the product for 4-5 cm.

Before mounting the first and subsequent rows, the space between the wall and tile can be filled with polyurethane foam in order to give the design with additional frost resistance.

If necessary, seal the joints between the products use silicone sealants.

Vertical seams should be shifted when installing following the first rows. For this, a good or cropped panels are used. For cutting blocks, Bulgarian is used.

Works on the grout of seams can be performed only in the warm season with dry weather.

Warm Panel Installation Allowance

Conclusion

The facade panels with insulation are products consisting of a classic cladding coating and a thermal insulating layer of polyurethane foam, polystyrene foam or mineral wool.

They are distinguished by high operational properties and simplicity of installation. The disadvantages of such products include a high price and the possibility of damage to materials during long-term storage.

In contact with

The insulation of the house should carry not only practical benefits, but also have a pleasant appearance. Many for these purposes perform the finishing finish of the enshrined insulation. It really looks beautiful, but requires considerable effort. There is a simpler way - the use of ready-made thermopanels. Most often, they already have a certain texture or pattern that make the facade attractive.

Nuances of using panels

Before you prefer to finished panels for lining the walls of the house, you need to know about their positive and negative sides. This will provide an opportunity to carry out a comparative analysis in comparison with other finishes. Among the positive sides of users' reviews can be allocated:

• reducing the waste for heating;
• nice appearance;
• high finishing rate;
• low weight;
• wide selection of drawing;
• lack of necessity in additional insulation;
• protection of walls from destruction.

Through the use of panels with insulation, it is possible to significantly reduce the cost of heating the dwellings in winter. It was noted that in some cases the savings reached 30 and more percent. This is due to the peculiarities of the insulation, which is used in thermopanels. Thanks to the wide choice of drawing, you can stay exactly on what is best for a particular structure. The plates with the insulation differ in size, but the finish is carried out much faster than using the insulation and decorative plastering on it. Facade panels with insulation have a small weight. This means that they will not have a large pressure on the foundation. Their relevance is not lost when using a screw or bond base. The outer layer of panels with insulation is characterized by high strength, therefore, it is capable of protecting the walls from destruction due to the impact of various weather conditions. The disadvantages of such panels are significantly less, but they are. Here are some:

• the need for some processing after installation;
• the possibility of deformation during long-term storage;
• low-quality components of panels;
• high cost of some types of panels.

Some types of panels, for example, completed under the clinker brick require seams after editing. This applies to cheap options and does not concern expensive products. Some types of panels are performed by two-layer, which implies the presence of insulation and finishing. With their debt storage, they may expose deformation due to the inhomogeneity of the materials. Before buying, you need to clarify not only the date of manufacture, but also to see the product certificate. It will be the key to the fact that high-quality components were used in the panels. In terms of cost, some types of panels with insulation may turn out to be more expensive than normal finishes with insulation.

What are the thermopanels

Thermopanels can be made using the same insulation, but the finishing materials will be varied. An overview of the main available options will allow you to better navigate when choosing.

Sandwich panel

Sandwich panels are three-layer, so when they are stored, there are no problems with deformation. The inner layer is the insulation, mineral wool, penplex or foamed polyurethane foam can be played in its role. External elements of sandwich panels are metallic or wooden sheets. If we are talking about the first, then it is most often a professional flooring that is attached by the method of hot molding. Wooden cladding uses chopped or fiberboard. A separate name has a panel where the cooker is is used. They are not used to finish the facade, but for the construction of walls and overlaps during the construction of frame houses using Canadian technology.

You can find a sandwich panel with a pattern that imitates various natural or artificial materials. In some types of panels, the external elements are additionally applied by a layer of polymers, which is intended to extend the service life, and also prevents paint burnout. Apply such products during the construction of hangars and shopping centers, as well as for finishing private houses. The width of the sandwich panel is limited to the width of the sheet material, from which it is made, and the length can easily reach 12 meters. This will cover the walls of the building as soon as possible. The thickness of the insulation inside varies from 5 to 25 cm. Installation of plates does not cause special difficulties, since they have a well-thought-out lock system.

With clinker tiles

Thermopanel with clinker tiles possess an attractive appearance. Such panels are highlighted against the background of other types of thermocaves. More she reminds facing the facade with decorative brick. Clinker tile is an environmentally friendly material. It is made of clay and has excellent water repellent properties. The insulation in the form of polystyrene was applied to the back. Its thickness can be different, from which heat-insulating properties will depend. The size of the insulation can reach 10 cm in thickness.

Panel sizes can be diverse, it all depends on the manufacturer. Due to the fact that the clinker tiles in the panels are used in a pair with foam, the weight of the elements is much facilitated. Installation of such panels with insulation does not cause difficulties, since they usually have special docking ends, which are performed in a special way. If the installation of the thermoplit is carried out directly on the wall, then they are attached to dowels and self-drawing. There are cases when the plane is not flat, then you have to use the crate to achieve the best result.

Panels with porcelain tile

Porcelain stoneware tile is one of the most durable tiles. It has excellent qualities that allow you to use it in panels with insulation. The process of manufacturing the tile itself occurs under the action of pressure and high temperature. The result is a smooth surface with a minimum pore. It is important that the moisture does not penetrate through the thermopanel. For these indicators, no natural stone is compared with the porcelain tile. Thanks to such panels with insulation, the facade is obtained not only with a qualitatively insulated, but also presentable. The tile is placed on the panels with the insulation in such a way as to create the illusion of brick masonry.

Some types of panels are made using tile, which is covered with icing. This type of thermopanel is gaining a trend. Most often, such a cladding is used in low houses. Such panels give the building an unusual look. They also do not require special skills during mounting, as well as the previous option. At one time, the ceramic tile has already been popular when performing an external finish.

With stone trim

In a separate group, it is worth allocating thermopanels that have the appearance of natural stone. They can also be manufactured using various insulation. Most often it is polystyrene foam and polyurethane foam. The front part of the panels is made of polymeric materials on which the corresponding drawing is applied. Such panels have a long service life due to the fact that plastic is not affected by moisture, and also perfectly opposes harsh temperatures. Unlike natural stone, such panels have a smaller weight, so do not have a large pressure on the foundation. They are perfectly suitable for finishing walls of foam concrete or foam blocks. The surface that is finished with such panels does not require additional insulation.

How to mount thermopanels

Installation of thermopadals on the facade has several nuances that it is worth knowing a newcomer. Before proceeding with any actions, it is necessary to carefully inspect the plane to which installation will be carried out. If it is a concrete wall, then it is important to eliminate all cracks. In addition, it is necessary to estimate the state of the upper coating. If the plaster peelled, it is better to knock it down and apply a new one. In the case when the finish was a paint coating, then it may have to be removed so that it does not create problems under the panels. A layer of antiseptic is applied to the concrete wall, which prevents the appearance of mold, as well as several layers of the primer composition, which will strengthen the outer layer.

Note! Before starting the installation of insulating panels, it is necessary to evaluate how parallel to the vertical lines of the corners. If the extinguiety exceeds 3 cm, then the possibilities of mounting the panel directly on the wall will not be necessary and it will be necessary to make a crate.

If the installation is carried out on the crate, then it is necessary to prepare wooden slats in advance or a metal profile. Fasten the vertical strips is necessary with a distance that will depend on the width of the panel. It can be from 30 to 50 cm. To facilitate the initial stage there is a starting plank. It is a small metal box. With the help of a level or laser level around the perimeter, a line is marked from which installation will be made. Using a dowel and self-tapping screws, a profile is recorded. Installation begins with angle, so the first is fixed with a special angular panel. From it and must be repelled when further work.

When installing panels, it stands at the bottom up, so the first thing is facing the base. The panels are secured by self-reserves through the holes in the seams. Sometimes they are provided by the manufacturer. All seams are snugged enough to notice noticeably uneven coverage. As the remaining angular elements are mounted as moving. The latter are made in a single style with panels and also have a heater under the cladding. When using thermal panels with natural finishing material for cutting, it is necessary to use a grinder with a diamond disk. If the cut passes at the place of docking, then it is necessary to give a cut form of the row. For decoration of door and window openings, you can use special elements. In addition to them, the usual tile or cement mixture is suitable. But it should be remembered that the slopes also need a heater.

As the wall finishes, the thermopanels can be neglected into the cornice. If there are a few more centimeters before it, it is not necessary to worry and cut the panels with insulation, and it is better to use a special decorative element. Installation of the system of grooves for collecting rainwater is performed after the panel cladding. In this case, the panel must be drilled to the wall, and the self-tapping screw to choose such a length so that it is enough for fixation to the base. The finishing stage of the trim panels under the brick or with clinker tiles is the processing of seams. This uses a special composition. You can apply it with a pistol or manually. It is worth remembering that the work should be carried out at the positive temperature. Video on the installation of thermopanels with insulation can be viewed below.

Conclusion

As you can see, the use of panels with insulation for finishing solves many tasks. In this case, the result is always excellent. With due patience, the facing by thermopanels can be performed independently. To do this, it is important to comply with the basic rules of installation. One of the main requirements is the correct starting panel setting.
