Licatatherm Anti-Crack – Cement Free

Benefits of Anti-Crack External Wall Insulation System

An anti-crack external wall insulation system improves both the durability and efficiency of a building. These systems use a combination of materials like insulation board and glass fibre mesh to create a strong structure that prevents cracking and reduces the risk of moisture damage.

By incorporating high-performance insulation material with external wall insulation systems, homeowners can enjoy lower energy bills and increased comfort. The system significantly reduces heat transfer, making it ideal for improving thermal insulation systems in both modern and traditional buildings.

The Role of Renders in External Wall Insulation Systems

Choosing the right render is important for an effective external wall insulation system. Acrylic render, silicone render, and mineral render are popular for their durability, adhesion, and wide range of colours, ensuring a durable finish for external walls.

Renders also help protect the insulation layer and the underlying substrate from adverse weather. Silicone renders, for example, are water vapour permeable, allowing moisture to escape while keeping the wall dry, thereby enhancing the overall lifespan of the insulation system.

Innovative Techniques for Achieving Seamless Wall Finishes

Licata’s anti-crack render systems use advanced techniques like glass fibre mesh reinforcement to create durable finishes. These meshes work with insulation boards to strengthen the render system, ensuring walls remain crack-free even under extreme weather conditions.

With a wide range of colours available, including over 700 options, Licata’s systems cater to diverse aesthetic needs. Combining acrylic or silicone renders with external wall insulation systems ensures a smooth, durable finish that resists moisture and impact damage, keeping walls looking great for years.

Sustainable Insulation Materials for External Wall Systems

Using sustainable insulation materials like expanded polystyrene (EPS boards) or mineral wool can improve the environmental impact of your project. These materials are non-combustible, lightweight, and suitable for both low-rise and high-rise properties.

Incorporating high-quality insulation boards in EWI systems helps reduce energy consumption and overall energy costs. Paired with acrylic renders, these systems provide excellent thermal performance, keeping homes warm in cold weather and cool during summer.

Improving Energy Efficiency with Advanced Insulation Systems

Modern render systems combine high-performance insulation materials like insulation boards and expanded polystyrene to significantly lower energy bills. These systems are also water vapour permeable, preventing condensation and maintaining a dry, healthy interior.

For properties facing fuel poverty, these systems provide an affordable way to insulate external walls and door reveals. By offering a range of suitable options like loft insulation and surface rendering, they ensure homes are more energy-efficient and comfortable in all weather conditions.
