External Wall insulation Systems

Maximize Efficiency, Minimize Energy Costs

Geoscape External Wall Insulation

Geoscape’s External wall insulation systems encompass a comprehensive range, of Baumit (EWI) External Wall Insulation systems (OpenSystem, StarSystem EPS, StarSystem Mineral, StarSystem Resolution, StarSystem Nature, PowerSystem, and PlinthSystem).

Baumit opensystem 

Whether you are building a new home or refurbishing an old one, Baumit OpenSystem is the optimal solution. All components of this system are vapour permeable, allowing the walls to breathe and creating optimal living conditions year-round. The OpenSystem uses EPS boards with a consistent pattern of holes, about 2 to 3 mm in diameter, ensuring high vapour permeability and enabling water vapour to be released outside. Notable features of Baumit OpenSystem include advanced fixing technology, high-performance insulation, and an innovative topcoat with nanotechnology, all of which contribute to a durable and aesthetically pleasing building that will last for decades. Additionally, the system boasts very low primary energy consumption during production, consisting of 99% air and a small proportion of EPS, making it environmentally friendly.

Baumit OpenSystem is designed to ensure a comfortable indoor climate by maintaining optimal relative humidity levels. At indoor temperatures between 19 and 22°C, the ideal humidity should range between 40 to 60%. The system facilitates the diffusion of approximately 10 litres of water vapour per household per day to the outside, thanks to its high breathability. This not only prevents condensation but also reduces building time as the structure dries out more quickly. The homogeneous wall build-up and breathable nature of the OpenSystem ensure a comfortable living environment, making it a reliable choice for enhancing the energy efficiency and sustainability of any building project.

Baumit starsystem Mineral

Baumit StarSystem Mineral is a versatile and proven mineral external thermal insulation composite system suitable for all building classes. The system utilizes mineral wool boards as the thermal insulation layer, which are covered with a mineral base coat consisting of a levelling layer, base coat, and fibreglass mesh. A weather-resistant topcoat is then applied over this base. This insulation system can be applied to all load-bearing substrates, making it ideal for both old and new buildings, varying home styles, and commercial constructions. The mineral wool boards, known as StarTherm Mineral, contain no combustible components and are made of mineral wool fibers bonded with resins, offering excellent sound and fireproofing properties, as well as high water permeability.

Baumit StarSystem Mineral stands out for its ability to significantly improve the indoor climate by providing superior thermal insulation and associated energy savings, thus contributing to climate protection. It offers excellent physical properties, including fire resistance and water vapor permeability, ensuring long-term performance and durability. The system’s use of mineral raw materials, which are available in virtually unlimited quantities, further underscores its sustainability.

Baumit starsystem Resolution

The Baumit StarSystem Resolution external wall insulation system achieves outstanding thermal performance with significantly less thickness. With an 8 cm insulation board, it attains the same thermal U-value as a standard 12 cm insulation board, providing equivalent insulation with a third less thickness. This slim design is especially beneficial for addressing specific building problems and architectural details such as windows and eaves. The Baumit StarSystem Resolution can be universally combined with all professional ETIC systems, offering cost savings while maintaining excellent insulation values.

Baumit StarSystem Resolution is ideal for applications with space constraints, enabling a thin ETIC system to be constructed without extending the eaves, thereby saving on costs. The closed-cell structure of the Baumit StarTherm Resolution insulation, made from phenolic boards, ensures superior thermal values with minimal thickness. The raw material, Bakelite resin, is known for its durability and ensures a long lifespan for the insulation. Adhering to strict regulations and guidelines during manufacture guarantees high production quality. The phenolic insulation is also environmentally friendly, being 100% free of CFCs and HCFCs. Key benefits include the lowest lambda value (0.022), 30% better insulation performance, and compatibility with other Baumit EWI systems, making it a top choice for efficient and space-saving wall insulation.

Baumit StarSystem Nature

The Baumit StarSystem Nature is an ecological insulation system that prioritizes sustainability and environmental health. Central to this system is wood fibre, a renewable resource that offers excellent thermal values, vapour permeability, and noise reduction capabilities. The use of wood not only conserves natural resources but also helps reduce CO2 emissions. The wood-fibre insulation boards, known as StarTherm, are produced without artificial binders; instead, the timber’s natural lignin binds the fibres together, ensuring a breathable and high heat storage capacity insulation.

This environmentally friendly insulation stands out throughout its entire life cycle, from production to disposal, due to its minimal environmental impact. It is free from additives, enhances sound insulation, and maintains good thermal values. The Baumit StarSystem Nature is highly breathable and vapour permeable, making it an attractive choice for those seeking sustainable building solutions. Its ecological benefits, combined with practical advantages like improved sound insulation and effective thermal performance, make it a superior choice for natural insulation.

Baumit PlinthSystem

The Baumit Plinth System is designed to provide robust protection and aesthetic appeal to the highly stressed plinth areas of buildings. These areas, subjected to intense mechanical stress and exposure to the elements, require insulation and rendering that are both functional and visually pleasing. Baumit’s plinth insulation and rendering solutions offer reliable protection with acrylic render that is water-repellent and resistant to mechanical stresses, making it ideal for renovations and long-term durability.

Plinths, along with the surrounding perimeter areas, face constant challenges from rainfall, splashing, and mechanical impacts. To safeguard these vulnerable areas, the Baumit Plinth System includes a waterproof or at least water-resistant render, ensuring added protection. The system’s detailed composition includes a reinforcing coat for optimal performance, ensuring that the base structure remains resilient and protected over time. Using Baumit’s range of render insulation and acrylic render, the plinth system effectively combines strength, reliability, and aesthetic appeal for comprehensive building protection.
