Mapetherm System EPS

The Mapetherm System EPS is a comprehensive and reliable external thermal insulation system that uses expanded polystyrene (EPS) — available in white or graphite form, and in a range of densities to meet all application needs. It offers excellent thermal insulation performance, ease of installation, and long-term durability under all climatic conditions. Thanks to its optimized quality-to-cost ratio, it is an ideal choice for the energy upgrading of buildings. The system is certified with European Technical Approval (ETA – 10/0025).

The Mapetherm System EPS is a multi-layer adhesive system consisting of:

• Thermal insulation panels made of white or graphite expanded polystyrene (EPS), CE-marked in accordance with EN 13163.
• Fiber-reinforced, cement-based adhesive, resin-modified: Mapetherm AR1 GG (coarse-grained) or Mapetherm AR1 (fine-grained).
• Alkali-resistant fiberglass reinforcement mesh (Mapetherm Net), weight 150 g/m², width 100 cm, with a 5.0 × 5.0 mm square mesh. Mechanical fixing anchors for securing the insulation panels.
• Water-based primer, high-quality colored acrylic Quarzolite Base Coat or silicone-based Silancolor Base Coat.
• Final organic plaster coating, ready-to-use acrylic-based Quarzolite Tonachino offering high elasticity, water repellency, breathability, and resistance to mold and microorganisms; or Silancolor Tonachino, an inorganic silicone-based plaster (resin in aqueous solution) providing high water repellency and creating “self-cleaning” surfaces. The material is highly breathable, flexible, and resistant to dirt, mold, and microorganisms.
• Fixed corner beads and drip-edge corner beads (PVC with fiberglass mesh on both sides) for reinforcing external corners.

In addition to the materials mentioned above, the system includes complementary products necessary for the complete and professional execution of the work.
