LIMETICS® FOAMGLAS® UNILIT® NHL lime rendering on FOAMGLAS® cellular glass insulation

OUTLINE SPECIFICATIONS

This specification outlines the application of an external insulation composite system (ETICS) using FOAMGLAS® cellular glass insulation slabs, fully bonded on solid wall substrates (masonry, concrete,…), and a UNILIT® natural hydraulic lime rendering with additional glass fiber mesh reinforcement. It is intended for application as an external wall insulation to provide thermal performance in accordance with building regulations. The LIMETICS® FOAMGLAS® system can be used in new construction or refurbishment upon vertical surfaces. It can also be used on horizontal or sloping surfaces which are not exposed to precipitation. The LIMETICS® FOAMGLAS® system consists of non load-bearing construction elements. Whilst it does not contribute directly to the stability of the wall on which it is installed it enhances its durability by providing protection from the effects of weathering and thermal movement.

The LIMETICS® FOAMGLAS® system consists of the following layers:

1 solid wall substrate (masonry, concrete,…) 2 cellular glass insulation slabs fixed with an lime adhesive 3 base coat with a glass fiber mesh reinforcement embedded within (4) 5 mechanical fixing in mesh overlap 6 top coat, which can, depending on the climatic conditions, be the weathering layer when properly applied and finished7 finish coat, with a natural beige or pigmented through coloured8 optional painted finish

1 GENERAL

The LIMETICS® FOAMGLAS® system is installed on site by contractors who have received training in the application of the system. The installation of the LIMETICS® FOAMGLAS® shall be carried out by appropriate personnel under the supervision of the person responsible for technical matters on site. The installation shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications (instruction sheet). The works, including the interfacing details (connections, joints,...), shall be designed so as to avoid water penetration behind the system. EN ISO 13788 provides guidance as to condensation risk analysis. The walls to which the LIMETICS® FOAMGLAS® system is to be applied must be structurally sound and airtight and its stability sufficient to ensure that the system is not subject to deflections which could cause stress cracking.

Further, the recommendations from the manufacturer must be respected in relation to: Packaging, transport and storage

Packaging of the components must ensure that the products are protected from moistureduring transport and storage, unless other measures are foreseen by the manufacturer for thispurpose.The components should be protected against damage.

Maintenance and repair of the worksEssential repairs should be undertaken without delay.It is important to be able to carry out maintenance using products and equipment, which arecompatible with the LIMETICS® FOAMGLAS® system so as to avoid spoiling the appearance ofthe facade.

Important remark : each situation has to be approved by Limetics / Arte Constructo before application.

2 SCAFFOLDING

The construction and use of the scaffolding shall be undertaken in accordance with all specific site instructions and national safety regulations. Neither the positioning nor attachment of the scaffolding should impede the application of the external insulation system as this will possibly impact upon the quality of the finishing works. The scaffolding shall be protected with translucent sheeting or debris nets to avoid interruptions or negative effects upon finishes of rain, sun or strong winds. In locations where the surface temperature can gain values of 50°C and above, the scaffolding shall be maintained for at least 2 weeks following the application of the base coat. The scaffolding should where possible be protected at the top with a suitable weather protection of translucent sheeting.

3 INSTALLATION OF THE FOAMGLAS® CELLULAR GLASS INSULATION SLABS

3.1 General

The FOAMGLAS® cellular glass insulation slabs are fully bonded with an adhesive layer of a natural hydraulic lime UNILIT® K/2. At the base area the FOAMGLAS® slabs will fully bonded with closed joints. Until at least 30 cm from the floor area

The substrate should be sufficiently solid, clean, considered as dry enough and in sound condition in order to allow firm anchoring of mechanical fixings for the lime reinforcement. If the substrate is not straight enough, the surface should be corrected with a render layer of UNILIT® K/2.

Under the first row of the FOAMGLAS® insulation, at the base of the building and to prevent FOAMGLAS® insulation from sliding during the curing of the adhesive, a permanent support is required. If the application of this starting profile is not possible, every block of the first row of the FOAMGLAS® insulation slabs must be mechanically fixed . Façades with a height of more than 4 meters require a special study by the supplier of the LIMETICS® FOAMGLAS® cellular glass insulation system.

The substrate shall be checked to ensure its stability. Any movement cracks, air vents, drainpipes, etc. shall be noted before installation and the necessary measures shall be executed. The surface of the substrate should be: • clean and without grease, oil, excessive dust, debris, dirt, etc.• smooth and without excessive irregularities (uneven spots shall be removed or shall not exceed

5 mm under a ruler of 2 m length).

3.2 Application

The FOAMGLAS® cellular glass slabs are placed with vertical staggered, butt-pressed and open joints and pushed firmly against the straight substrate and neighbouring slabs. If necessary, the substrate will first be corrected with a render layer UNILIT® K/2 (to let hardening before application of the insulation slabs). The adhesive mortar is mixed with clean water at a ratio of 6 to 7 litres of water to a bag of 30 kg ready mixed natural hydraulic lime powder. Mixing is undertaken with a slow speed electric paddle for a period of 4 to 5 minutes. A creamy workable mortar is obtained, which has approximately 2 hours of open time. The mortar shall be trowel-applied onto the FOAMGLAS® insulation slabs using a 10 mm notched trowel covering the whole surface. The spreading of the adhesive mortar over the surface shall proceed with the trowel inclined at an angle of about 60° to the surface of the cellular glass slab.

4 APPLICATION OF THE EXTERNAL UNILIT® LIME RENDER

4.1 General

The primary components of the external render comprise a base coat with a glass fibre reinforcement and a top coat of natural hydraulic lime mortar which can serve as a finish when properly applied, and respecting also the local climate conditions. Otherwise, a finish coat of natural hydraulic lime mortar is applied over the top coat. The external render can be finished in different ways. Either the top or finish coat is through coloured using natural pigments or is applied in its natural beige colour and painted afterwards with a suitable lime - or mineral silicate paint, maintaining a high water vapour permeability. There are various grain sizes available.The detailling of ̀the façade should nevertheless minimise possible rain penetration. This includes adequate overhang for roof verges, sills and copings (minimum 50 mm).Construction joints in the structure must be continued in to the external insulation system. The mortars must not be applied at temperatures below +5°C nor when a risk of frost exists. They should never be applied on to a frozen surface or in the case of thick fog. In hot, windy and dry conditions, measures should be taken to prevent accelerated drying out of the freshly applied mortars. Applied mortars must be protected from frost and direct sunlight for 48 to 72 hours after their application. In locations where the surface temperature can gain values of 50°C and above, the scaffolding shall be maintained for at least 2 weeks, following the application of the base coat. The application instructions of the suppliers should be carefully followed with particular attention paid to the recommendations for temporary rainwater drainage and protection.

4.2.3 Application

The mortar is mixed with clean water at a ratio of 5 to 6 litres of water to a bag of 30 kg ready mixed natural hydraulic lime powder. Mixing is undertaken with a slow speed electric paddle only for a period of 3 to 5 minutes. A creamy workable mortar is obtained, which has approximately 2 hours of open time. The mortar is applied by hand or mechanically onto the surface at a nominal thickness of about 5 mm and levelled with a float.

In between consequent layers a drying time of 1 to 2 days is required, although this may be shorter in good drying conditions. The base coat needs to be protected against frost for 3 days and from temperatures higher than 50°C during the first 2 weeks.

Following the application of the base coat a glass fibre mesh LIMETICS® PC150 is embedded on the base coat to cover the complete surface. Successive sheets of glass fibre mesh should overlap by at least 100 mm. Additional mesh reinforcement is required around all openings, across zones where suspended floors intersect walls and where slabs are applied over different substrates, along continuous straight slab joints and over repaired areas. Mechanical fixings EJOTHERM® STR U 2G be fitted continuously during processing in glass fibre mesh.(mechanical fixings at a distance of 1 m)

4.5 Paintworks (optional)

4.5.1 Mineral lime paint CORICAL or mineral silicate paint CORISILK

4.5.2 General

The mineral lime paint is formulated with a lime putty of high quality, mineral fillers and natural pigments. The lime wash possesses antifungicidal, bactericidal and disinfectant properties, is permeable for water vapour, incombustible, resistant to acids and possesses an excellent light fastness.

4.5.3.1 Properties

Binder lime putty Solvent water Specific gravity (colour white) 1,3 kg/l Vapour diffusion resistance (µ) 12 pH-value > 12 Fire reaction classification class A1 (non combustible) Odour odourless to almost odourless Drying (at 20°C and 75% R.H.) re-paintable after a minimum of 12 hours

dry after a minimum of 48 hours hardened throughout after 28 days

Consumption ~ 270 ml/m² in 2 layers Packing liquid paste in tubs of 5 ltrs or 15 ltrs

4.5.3.2 Application

In order to assist the application and working speed of the lime putty paint, the paint is well stirred mechanically before use. On a not yet hardened lime render, ‘in fresco’, the lime paint is painted, one day after the application of the finishing layer of the lime render, in three layers. The first layer of lime paint is diluted with 80% of water, the second layer with 50% of water and the third layer with 30% of water. A period of at least 12 hours is to be maintained in between the successive layers, the timescale being dependent on the weather conditions. On an already hardened, dry lime render, ‘in secco’, the lime paint is painted in two layers. The first layer of lime paint is diluted with 30 to 40% of water, while the second layer is diluted with 5 to 10% of water. A period of at least 12 hours is to be maintained in between the successive layers, the timescale being dependent on the weather conditions. The lime paint can be applied with airless (nozzle 0,79 mm), with a rectangular brush or with a short-bristle roller, according to the desired effect.

The finished natural hydraulic lime render is painted with a traditional matt lime paint or a traditional matt silicate paint. The colour of the lime paint finish or the silicate paint finish is selected by the architect. A sample will be supplied for approval prior to manufacture.

4.5.4.2 Application

If the substrate is dry and work is done in hot conditions, it is recommended to humidify the substrate before applying the first layer of Corisilk.

Before applying the first layer of Corisilk, the silicate paint is diluted first with 20% of Fondosilk. Can be applied either with airless (nozzle 0,79 mm), with a rectangular brush or with a short-bristle roller, according to the desired effect.

The second layer of Corisilk is subsequently diluted only with 25 to 30% of water, in function of the absorption rate of the substrate and the climatic conditions.

4.5.4 CORISILK

The finished natural hydraulic lime render is painted with a traditional, matt silicate paint. The mineral silicate paint is formulated with a liquid potassium silicate of high quality, mineral fillers and inorganic pigments. The silicate paint possesses anti-fungicidal, bactericidal and disinfectant properties, is permeable for water vapour, incombustible, resistant to acids and possesses an excellent light fastness.

5 SPECIAL TECHNIQUES

5.1 Plinths realized as render

5.1.1 General

In case that the plinths are also realized as a render, the base coat and the finish coat on the FOAMGLAS® slabs are made of following products : UNILIT® 15P2/H and UNILIT® 65M/H (until +/- 1 m above the ground level). These two products have a higher resistance against water and salt efflorences, but will have no influence on the general aspect of the façade.

5.1.2 Application

The processing of these two materials is identical with the materials UNILIT® 15P2 and Unilit® 65M

5.2 Reinforcement of plinths against direct impact – use of brick mesh

In order to reinforce a plinth (ETICS straight to or below ground level, with no decorative plinth) against direct impact, a stainless steel brick mesh is applied over the glass fiber mesh. It comes over the glass fiber mesh, in the fresh base coat Unilit 15/P2/H. Once fixed with EJOTHERM STRU (one fixing each 50 cm), a second coat of Unilit 15P2/H is passed over.

5.3 Non-insulated substrates (basements,...)

5.3.1 General

Construction parts where no insulation is required, but where there are still risks to water infiltration or rising damp transmission (basements,...), have to be protected with the stabilising mortar UNILIT® 30. This natural hydraulic lime mortar is inherently stable and designed to reduce problems of micro cracks along with premature drying out. UNILIT® 30 is perfectly water repellent and, hence, performs perfectly where rising damp and capillary action is prevalent. Furthermore, the natural pore structure of hydraulic lime gives UNILIT® 30 a high resistance against salt crystallisation.

5.3.2 Application

The mortar is mixed with clean water at a ratio of 5 to 6 litres of water to a bag of 30 kg ready mixed natural hydraulic lime powder. Mixing is undertaken with a slow speed electric paddle for a period of 4 to 5 minutes. A creamy workable mortar is obtained, which has approximately 2 hours of open time. The mortar is applied either manually or by mechanical means at a nominal thickness of 15 to 20 mm. A drying period of 3 to 4 days must be respected.

6 DETAILING

6.1 Detailing of a plinth

6.1.1 Ground floor

The LIMETICS® FOAMGLAS® system can be applied down to or below ground level without an actual plinth. The thermal insulation is extended at least as far as the level of the horizontal insulation layer of the flooring, if necessary to a level below ground. The first row of insulation slabs is fixed with an anchor in to each slab. Alternatively and in cases of uncertainty of the massive substrate, a base profile is needed.

Every plinth detail has to be discussed with the technical department of the supplier of the system.

Fig. ETICS continued without plinth to or below ground level

The application of a decorative plinth with the ETICS is possible. Natural stone, brick and/or other mineral slabs can be applied straight to the insulation slabs, applying the slabs into the continued fresh base coat of the ETICS. The base coat will ensure the stability of the decorative plinth. The top of the plinth is finished with an inclined topping, before application of the finishing and decorative coats of the ETICS. The thermal insulation is continued at least to a level below the horizontal insulation layer of the flooring, if necessary to a level below ground. The first row of insulation slabs is fixed separately with an anchor fixing each slab. Alternatively and in cases of uncertainty of the massive substrate, a base profile is needed.

Fig. ETICS with decorative plinth

The application of a receding (non insulated) plinth is possible as well. A minimal distance of 300 mm needs to be respected between the bottom of the ETICS and ground level. A stainless steel rail with a dripbead is fixed horizontally to the substrate prior to the application of the thermal insulation slabs. The rail depth is function of the insulation slab thickness.

6.3 Detailing of a flat roof border

An adequate overhang shall be foreseen in order to prevent water infiltration on top of the ETICS and to prevent water and dirt to flow down over the render surface. A overhang of at least 30 mm from the render surface shall be foreseen, either from the drip bead of the roof border profile or metal roof cover, or either by cutting a drip bead at the edge of the stone cover.

In order to prevent the appearance of cold bridges, the insulation of the ETICS shall continue without interruption into the insulation layer of the flat roof.

6.4 Detailing of windows area

Prior to the application of the ETICS, the external joinery shall be correctly placed. The positioning of the external joinery and the sealing of the connection of the external joinery to the building carcass shall be completely watertight.

The external joinery shall be placed with some retreat in respect to render surface. In no case shall the external joinery be placed flat face with the render surface.

The detailing of the connection of the ETICS in case of the external joinery shall prevent water infiltration both behind the insulation layer as well as the render.

The detailing of the external joinery sills shall as well respect some basic principles: - the window and/or door sill shall be fixed into the substrate and shall in no case rest upon the ETICS;

- the connection in between the ETICS and the window and/or door sill shall foresee in: - a straight application of the ETICS to the sill in the case of a wooden or stone sill; - the application of a compriband sealing strip and sealant in the case of an aluminium (metal), galvanised and/or PVC sill;

- the window and/or door sill shall be foreseen with standing edges both at the back and sides; - in order to prevent water and dirt to flow down over the render surface, an adequate overhang shall be foreseen. Therefore, a drip bead going from one end to the other end of the sill shall be positioned at a distance of at least 30 mm from the render surface.
