Slate on external thermal insulation composite system

External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) are multi-layered constructions to insulate outer walls. They consist of an insulation material, which is attached to the wall and provided with diverse lining materials. External thermal insulation composite systems are particularly suited to buildings with a plastered or concreted façade.

External thermal insulation composite systems may also be described as thermal insulation and in many cases are offered as a reasonably priced combination of heat insulation and weather protection for solid outer walls.

As a final facing, slate tiles are ideally suited as an optical design element and “protective layer“ for the wall.

The natural material offers an interesting design for loosening up the façade surface, also in combination with plaster, where only certain parts of the building are covered with tiles, such as individual walls, columns, plinths and projections.
