Case Study

Facade Insulation

Façade is the external front face of a building. Façade insulation functions as a barrier protect against heat, cold noise and fire.

It also protect buildings against the harsh weather and keeps the building dry & safe. It is advisable to consider non-combustible insulation in façade applications since it ill reduce or delay the fire spread.
In a typical building, around 30%of the energy used to heat or cool is wasted due to poorly insulated walls. External insulated walls significantly reduces energy loss by wrapping the building with thermally resistant envelope, helping to improve comfort, reduce energy bill and carbon emission.
 
The facade of the new or existing building can be done with suitable system. KIMMCO-ISOVER offers durable stone wool products for both type of building and for different systems like ventilated façade, Cavity wall insulation and curtain wall.
 
KIMMCO-ISOVER’s façade insulation products are non combustible and hydrophobic in nature, does not attract moisture. The open cell structure keeps the insulation dry. Façade products are an excellent choice for ventilated and unventilated façade. The product is available unfaced- or with aluminum facing
 

Advantages: 

 

  • Non- Combustible- classified as A1 as per EN standards
  • Enhanced thermal properties
  • Optimum acoustic performance
  • Durable
  • Mechanical stable
  • Moisture resistance

 Ventilated façade system

KIMMCO-ISOVER’s façade insulation products are non combustible and hydrophobic in nature. The products are durable and does not have aging effect. COMFORT SA slabs are available either un-faced, or faced with Aluminum foil or Black Glass Tissue (BGT). The product is suitable for all types of ventilated facades system (glass, granite, marble and aluminum) 

Curtain wall system

Curtain wall systems are a non –load bearing structure of an external wall. Curtain wall separates the exterior from interior supports its own weight and it transfers other load to the building structure. Low thermal conductivity and high fire rating of the curtain wall system is important because of heat loss through the wall, which affects the heating & cooling cost of the building. Fire usually spread through spandrel region, it is advisable to use non-combustible insulation materials for such applications and this will also provide higher R-value at these locations.
COMFORT SA slab are non-combustible with low thermal conductivity ideally suitable for spandrel insulation system. COMFORT SA slab are available Unfaced or with one side faced with  Black Glass Tissue (BGT) for thermal , Acoustic and fire safety purposes.
