To find out which render mortar mix shows the best durability properties, we have designed
four ageing tests that aim to simulate water movements, ice formation and salt crystallization …

Abstract External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) are multilayer solutions
which provide an enhanced thermal performance to the building envelope. However …

The External Thermal Insulation Composite System (ETICS) is a common cladding
technology that is widely used thanks to its well-known advantages. Despite previous …

In order to study the pore structure characteristics of the deteriorated structural layer of an
external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS), the overall and stratified T 2 spectrum …

This paper investigates the durability of a low-cost construction system named HOMEDONE
developed to realize affordable and also temporary housing solutions. The system is based …

The External Thermal Insulation Composite System (ETICS) is one of the most common
passive strategies to obtain energy savings in existing buildings. Despite previous studies …

Fire barriers are used to reduce the risk of fire spreading over façades. External thermal
insulation composite systems consist of mineral wool strips embedded in a layer of another …

The paper proposes the durability prediction method for ETICS, which could be applied in
cold and wet climate regions. This improved method is based on the international and …

The article presents research studies carried out on ETICS in the accelerated aging
chamber, with gaps used as the predetermined imperfections. Based on the conducted …
