MITECH – FOAMED POLYSTYRENE-BASED BUILDING THERMAL INSULATION SYSTEM

MITECH building thermal insulation system is a complex external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) based on foamed polystyrene as the insulation layer. It is used to apply external wall insulation system for existing buildings and newly erected ones by using foamed polystyrene boards as insulation layers in traditional and energy-saving construction. It can be used on raw and rendered walls made of bricks, concrete, ceramic blocks, cellular concrete, cement hollow blocks. The system can be used while using the maximum foamed polystyrene thickness board of up to 25 cm and the maximum building height of up to 25 m. The MITECH system meets the European Technical Assessment (ETA) and is allowed for use within the whole European Union. The properties of external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) make it possible to limit heat losses, reduce heating costs, remove thermal bridging and improve the aesthetics of the insulated façade. The technology of Mitech system consists of the following steps: installing a foamed polystyrene layer to the external wall surface, making a reinforcing layer with immersed glass-fibre mesh and applying a primer and a thin-layer render. When combined with a mineral render, a façade paint should be used.
