Environmentally-friendly thermal insulation composite system for sustainable, energy-efficient facades
The Thermowall WDVS thermal insulation system, approved by the Swiss Federal Office for Construction, is a durable thermal insulation composite system for the external insulation of façades without rear ventilation. With rendering systems from a wide range of manufacturers and application-specific insulation boards made of environmentally friendly wood fibres, it leaves nothing to be desired - both in terms of design and practical application. Thermowall WDVS impresses with its very good thermal and acoustic insulation, its high degree of robustness and its building physics safety, which is further enhanced by the window and door connection systems Implio F and Implio P can be further optimised.
- The widest choice of approved rendering systems for maximum flexibility in logistics and façade design
- Diffusion openness and moisture regulation for a healthy indoor climate and long-lasting insulation performance
- Durable, recyclable and usable all year round thanks to prolonged exposure to the elements
System details
A composite thermal insulation system that is safe and can be plastered in a variety of ways
Thanks to a wide range of approved rendering systems, the Thermowall thermal insulation system offers maximum flexibility in terms of supply, logistics and design, in line with building legislation: it combines environmentally-friendly wood fibre insulation boards that can be rendered with mineral fabric undercoats, as well as a variety of finishing renders - including thick or felt renders - and suitable façade colours. This diversity is regulated by technical approvals Z-33.47-660 and Z-33.43-942.
- Thermowall panels offer the longest weathering period - up to five months
- Approved for use in ITE :Technical Notice
- Reduced risk of algae forming on the plaster thanks to the reduction in the formation of condensation water thanks to the high heat storage capacity of wood fibre
Tailor-made wood fibre insulation panels for all requirements
The Thermowall eco-friendly composite thermal insulation system offers a wide range of wood fibre insulation panels. Thanks to their special properties, these panels can be installed on the façade all year round, as they can be exposed to the elements for up to five months in winter, provided they are installed correctly and protected by appropriate measures, such as roof drainage. The temperature-sensitive plaster can then be applied during the warmer months of spring. Thermowall insulation boards have been specially designed to meet a variety of requirements – from traditional installation on solid wood walls, timber frame constructions and mineral substrates such as masonry and concrete, to prefabrication. Optionally, the panels can be combined with cork insulation elements to provide additional safety reserves in areas exposed to moisture.
- Thermowall :Medium-weight ITE panels in thicknesses of 60 to 160 mm, as well as 20 and 40 mm for embrasures, etc., also available in large format for prefabrication
- Thermowall-gf :The heavy, stable ETICS panel for slimmer structures, ideal for timber-frame construction. Also available in large format for prefabrication and in a format suitable for 83.3 cm grids.
- Thermowall-L :The lightweight ETI panel for solid substrates, up to 240 mm thick for very good thermal insulation, part of the first weber.therm circle fully demountable wood fibre ETI
- Thermowall NF :The medium-weight tongue-and-groove ETICS panel in a practical format for rapid installation in timber-frame construction
- Thermowall Durio :The medium-weight tongue-and-groove ETICS panel, specially developed for the Durio façade insulation system, ideal for a 75 cm grid thanks to its format
- Pyroresist wall :The low-flammability, smoulder-resistant panel for multi-storey residential buildings.
- Thermowall-gf Edge-to-edge starter plate :60 mm thick ITE panel with milled tongue and groove on 3 sides and flush underside - for easy, precise positioning of the panel in the base rail.
- Thermowall-gf laminated starter plate :60 mm thick ETI panel with milled tongue and groove on 3 sides and folded underside - provides a perfect transition with perimeter insulation
- Cork base plate :250 mm high, with milled tongue and groove on 3 sides, for use in splash zones
- Cork skirting board :45 mm high, with milled tongue and groove on 3 sides, as a base layer in the base rail - ideal as a base for Thermowall-gf
- Cork insulation panel :Particularly resistant to moisture, ideal for increased safety reserves in moisture-critical connection areas such as embrasures, etc.
Focus on sustainability and living comfort
Like plaster systems, Thermowall plaster carrier boards are diffusion-open and moisture-regulating. These properties contribute to a healthy indoor climate, protect the building structure and make the WDV system particularly durable. The high heat-storing capacity of wood-fibre boards provides excellent protection against heat in summer and cold in winter. Manufactured from PEFC-certified wood, which would otherwise be thermally recycled, the boards make an important contribution to conserving resources and protecting the climate. This is because the carbon stored in wood as a component of CO2what's more, this durable system provides excellent acoustic insulation, promoting pleasant calm, relaxation and well-being.
- Open to diffusion and moisture regulation for a healthy indoor climate
- Excellent protection against summer heat, winter cold and noise
- Thermal insulation that can be recycled and is safe for construction (natureplus certified)
Safe connections for windows and doors with Implio P and Implio F
With Implio P and Implio F, Gutex offers wood-fibre-based window and door connection systems that can be used as optional extras and contain all the important details for permanently perfect waterproofing. Both systems leave the important work of waterproofing to a single specialist craftsman: this not only reduces the risk of damage to the building from wind and rain, but also saves time. Construction proposals, tender texts and expert advice help with planning and installation and promote smooth, efficient project progress.
- Implio P for waterproofing around the window; Implio F for waterproofing the lower connection area with a second level of waterproofing
- Reduced risk of building damage due to wind and rain
- System safety tested in accordance with ift directive
Effective support for planning and implementation
The Thermowall thermal insulation system not only impresses with its durability and versatility, but also with its comprehensive planning and implementation support. With tested constructions, detailed planning documents and first-class support, it provides an optimum basis for the planning and implementation of new buildings and façade upgrades.
- Controlled construction and detailing for maximum planning reliability
- Comprehensive tender texts, tailored to planners and architects
- Reliable support from Gutex's technical applications department and field service
How much does a composite thermal insulation system cost?
The cost of ITE depends on a number of factors: the type of insulation used, the size of the façade, the rendering system chosen and the thermal insulation requirements. Thermowall ecological ITE offers a wide choice of panels and rendering systems, from which it is possible to select the right components for each building or renovation project. Thanks to sustainable construction, energy savings and the possibility of obtaining state subsidies, the investment generally pays for itself in a reasonable time. The exact payback period is determined, for example, by the energy advisor, who also applies for state aid.
