Thermal insulation of facade walls

The house was built in 1938 and has no cavity walls. A major renovation was carried out by Meerbouw Rotterdam. To keep the exterior authentic and to lose as little space as possible on the inside, sprayable nC ProTherm – ISO-X thermal insulating coating was chosen for the insulation.

The requirements from the builder:

• Insulation value Lambda 0.0222;
• Extras such as acoustic insulation, anti-condensation and flame extinguishing are a plus;
• Sprayable insulation with very long service life;
• Insulation must be free of toxic substances and be noncombustible;
• Insulation must be able to be finished smoothly;
• Insulation must be able to provide a gap-tight finish around window frames and seams;
• Insulation must be able to be installed quickly without interfering with existing construction;
• Minimal disturbance to residents.

Benefits of applying nC ProTherm – ISO-X for the residents of the house on the Gaarde in Rotterdam Hoogvliet:

• High insulation value with minimal loss of space;
• Sound insulation;
• Fire-resistant insulation;
• Smooth finished surface;
• Ability to easily make self repairs or reconstructions to the coating during future renovations or modifications to the rooms or to e home itself;
• Very long life, on the inside of the house >50 years;
• Cost-effective solution in terms of cost of material, labor and afterwork;
• Green solution: Sustainable solution with low waste, no cutting waste, no wood consumption or plaster consumption;
• Durable and sustainable solution: Very long life, no toxic materials, low product consumption.

This sprayable coating has a lambda value of 0.0222 at a layer thickness of 10mm. Also, this coating is vapor permeable and has a water absorption capacity of about 650cc per m². In addition, the coating provides acoustic insulation.
