Exterior Insulation (Mantolama)
Exterior insulation (Mantolama) is an application performed on buildings for thermal insulation using three different methods: external, internal, and sandwich. You can get information from companies on internet pages for insulation or exterior insulation services. The best method to ensure continuity of insulation and prevent the formation of thermal bridges is the exterior insulation method. In terms of building physics, the most suitable application for building facades is undoubtedly thermal insulation. The exterior insulation technique, which is also used in building reinforcement works, has been used in European countries since 1970. In our country, it started to be used with the enactment and mandatory implementation of energy efficiency.
Advantages of Exterior Insulation
We can list the advantages of the exterior insulation system as follows:
- It insulates concrete structural elements such as columns, beams, and lintels on external facades, preventing the formation of thermal bridges.
- It wraps the buildings from the outside and prevents all kinds of damage, cracks, and wall breakages caused by temperature differences in the main material.
- It protects the building's exterior wall from all kinds of adverse external factors.
- It provides both water and thermal insulation.
- With correctly applied exterior insulation, approximately 50% thermal savings are achieved.
- It reduces fuel consumption. Thanks to this feature, it prevents harmful gases from escaping into nature.
- In buildings with exterior insulation, heat is distributed evenly, so there is no air movement or condensation. Thus, you can have comfortable and healthy living spaces.
