Façades · insulation Façade insulation

We insulate your façade on the outside with a complete system from one manufacturer: adhesive, insulation, reinforcement and finish. For renovation and new build — with solutions for the plinth, dark colours and limited thickness.

What is ETICS? A warm façade is a build-up of layers.

ETICS stands for external insulation with a complete system: the insulation is bonded to the existing wall, reinforced and finished with render, brick slips or ceramics.

Every layer comes from the same manufacturer. That way the whole works as tested — and the warranty covers the complete system.

  • Solutions for plinths and dark colours
  • Thin systems where space is limited

Choose a brand, then the system Three systems, one goal: comfort.

A warm façade is not a single material but a carefully built-up series of layers. Choose a brand and then the system.

Project-based ETICS selection

Certified materials and professional component selection for façade insulation: from the substrate to the decorative finish.

Build-up
substrate → adhesive layer → EPS insulation → reinforcement → finish
  • Documentation and technical support
  • Complete build-up advice
  • For new builds and renovation
  • Finish variants

The system configuration is determined by the requirements and condition of the specific façade.

The build-up Five layers, one certified system.

The system configuration is determined by the requirements and condition of the specific façade.

  1. 01Substrate

    Existing wall, checked for flatness and moisture

  2. 02Adhesive

    Bonding of the insulation board, plus anchors where needed

  3. 03Insulation

    EPS 032, stone wool, wood fibre, hemp or phenolic foam

  4. 04Reinforcement

    Reinforcing mesh in a mortar layer — with carbon fibre for Carbon

  5. 05Finish

    Render, mineral finish, brick slips or ceramics

Details that make the difference An insulated façade is only as good as its details.

  1. The plinth gets its own build-up against moisture and dirt: waterproof layer, XPS or EPS HD and reinforcement.

  2. Connections around windows and doors without thermal bridges.

  3. Dark colours only with a system that can handle high surface temperatures, such as Caparol Carbon Dark or Knauf Color-X.

  4. Little space? Capatect Pheno achieves high thermal performance at a limited thickness.

Finishes on insulation The same insulation, a different face.

Almost any finish can go on an ETICS system: render, mineral plaster, brick slips or ceramics. In Hasselt we finished 540 m² with brick slips and white render on 12 cm of insulation.

Questions about façade insulation What our clients ask us.

What is the difference between the brands?

Biomat, Knauf and Caparol each offer complete, certified systems. We choose the system based on your façade: the substrate, the desired finish, the available thickness and any requirements for fire safety or dark colours.

How thick will the insulation be?

That depends on your energy goal and the space around windows, roof edges and the plinth. With little space we use a thin, efficient system such as Capatect Pheno with phenolic insulation.

Can I choose a dark façade?

Yes, with a system that can handle high surface temperatures, such as Caparol Carbon Dark or Knauf Color-X with Total Solar Reflection.

Is there an ecological alternative to EPS?

Yes: Capatect Natur+ with hemp insulation, or wood fibre insulation with Knauf Wood and Capatect Lignum — vapour-open and comfortable in summer.

Can I get a grant for façade insulation?

In Flanders, since 2026 wall insulation only qualifies for the Mijn VerbouwPremie grant in income categories 3 and 4. We review your situation and help with the application.
