External thermal insulation composite systems with mechanical fixing (using profiles)

External thermal insulation composite systems, or ETICS for short, are multi-layer systems used to insulate the external wall of a building. The ETICS consists of insulation boards, a type of fixing and a rendering system comprised of a reinforced base coat and a decorative finishing coat.

The ETICS described here are used on mineral substrates. The insulation boards are fixed with vertical and horizontal profiles, and additional anchors where applicable. Different insulation products can be used.

If expanded polystyrene is used as an insulation product, special constructive fire protection measures need to be observed.

For CE-marked ETICS, see ETICS bearing the CE marking.
