For facade ETICS, the wall is cleaned of dust, dirt and moisture and cracks are repaired. EPS boards are set into a starter profile and bonded with dabs plus a perimeter bead of adhesive. After the adhesive has cured, boards are mechanically fixed with six plastic anchors per square metre; corner, drip, sill and movement profiles are fitted before render. Two coats of thin render with alkali-resistant mesh are applied, then mineral render and paint or ready-coloured acrylic/silicone decorative render.
