Facade thermal panels for exterior decoration of the house: types, features of production and installation. Thermal panels with clinker tiles for the facade Thermal panels with glazed tiles for the facade

A thermal panel is a layer of expanded polystyrene or polyurethane foam with clinker tiles embedded in the structure of the material. In connection with the growth of foreign exchange rates, we made an overview of such Russian-made facade panels.

There are several options, which are divided into three main parameters:

1. Material: expanded polystyrene, polyurethane foam, their combinations, extruded polystyrene foam.
2. Joint method: "thorn - groove", docking of rectangular elements with smooth edges.
3. Cladding material: porcelain stoneware, concrete, ceramics, clinker tiles, etc.

Main manufacturers in Russia:

• "Workshop facade materials"(MFM), Moscow;
• FTP-Europa, Moscow;
• Termosit, Zheleznodorozhny;
• "Fride", Dedovsk;
• "Forska", St. Petersburg;
• UMB, Moscow;
• "Regent", Pereslavl-Zalessky;

The manufacturing company, along with the release of its own products, sells products from other factories. It positions itself as a manufacturer of high-quality panels, but the models with clinker tiles are of German origin, and the porcelain stoneware coating comes from Europe. In fact, only the creation of an insulating layer on materials produced by third-party companies can be attributed to domestic production.

The range of the company includes panels with clinker tiles, with the use of porcelain tiles, plinth options and with imitation of an aged surface. Expanded polystyrene and polyurethane foam are used as the inner layer.

Patents have been issued for the main products of the company. In production, a complete technological cycle, which is implemented on automatic lines. An own control service has been organized, which checks products according to a number of parameters - this guarantees that the consumer characteristics of the product will not turn out to be worse than those of the products of most European companies.

The company uses only natural materials as a decorative finish for panels (clinker tiles, stone, porcelain stoneware, facade ceramics). Connections of products - "thorn - groove". Insulation - polyurethane foam and expanded polystyrene.

Like almost all Russian manufacturers, the company uses materials purchased from enterprises in other countries as decorative finishes. In particular, clinker tiles are purchased from ABC, Stroher, Feldhaus, Interbau, Exagres. Insulation - expanded polystyrene, neopor or polyurethane foam. The manufacturer offers budget options panels from 990 rubles. for 1 sq. m. Currently, brick-like panels are available in six colors.

The Unique Multi Block company compares favorably with others by its own production of clinker tiles. Experience in the production of material - more than 14 years, which indicates the systematic development of the enterprise. Insulation - polyurethane foam, expanded polystyrene foam and their combinations. The panels are available in thicknesses of 60, 80 and 100 mm at a price of 2,100 rubles. for 1 sq. m.

The company works according to the following scheme: the purchase of clinker tiles from leading European enterprises and the creation of panels based on polyurethane foam. The advantage of the manufacturer can be considered a developed own production and technologies that allow maintaining the high quality of products throughout the entire service life.

8. "Ermak"

In the production of Ermak panels, laser cutting of materials is used, which makes it possible to achieve accurate dimensions and good joining in the form of a tongue and groove. The company offers panels according to individual sizes and in standard versions. Clinker tiles are supplied by A. D. W., Stroher, Foshan Red Lion Ceramic Co. Insulation - extruded polystyrene foam.

9. "Plitprom"

The manufacturer "Plitprom" began to produce thermal panels one of the first on Russian market. It uses high-precision European equipment, which guarantees a good connection of products during installation. It supplies facade panels with German brick-like clinker tiles of various colors and sizes (the cost per square meter is from 1,200 rubles).

10. Foreland

The company "Florland" specializes in the production of panels and artificial stone. The panels are a composite system based on polyurethane foam with a decorative coating ( fake diamond), which is produced at the enterprise. At present, panels of four models are produced: "XVII century", "Evrok", "Cliff", "Elbrus". The cost of products - from 2,500 rubles. for 1 sq. m.

Styrofoam or polyurethane foam?

The evaluation of a particular material is based on its technical characteristics, operating conditions and consumer opinions. The use of expanded polystyrene and polyurethane foam in panels under the same conditions gives us the opportunity to compare and obtain data for an objective conclusion.

Conclusion: all things being equal, polyurethane foam is the most acceptable option.

Decorative coating. Which one is better?

Manufacturers offer several options for finishing panels: porcelain stoneware, concrete, ceramics, clinker tiles, etc.

listed above Russian companies can be divided into two categories. The first is a full-scale production with the manufacture of both an insulating layer and a decorative coating, the second is the purchase of foreign-made finishing materials with subsequent production finished products. The cost of the panels depends on the choice of finishing material and the thickness of the insulation.

Facade thermal panels for the exterior cladding of a house are construction material, consisting of two layers, the first layer consists of polyurethane foam insulation, and the second layer performs a decorative function and looks like a clinker tile. The polyurethane foam layer comes in different thicknesses and can vary from 2.4 to 8 cm, the degree of wall insulation will depend on this. The density of polyurethane foam can also fluctuate and it can range from 48 to 53 kg per square meter.

The decorative part itself, namely Clinker tiles are pressed into the insulation using a special method that eliminates the possibility of falling off individual elements of the tile. As well as on the insulation, the thickness of the clinker tiles ranges from 12 to 15 mm. The standard dimensions of the decorative part (tile) are 2.4 by 7.1 cm.

Some manufacturers of facade thermal panels with clinker tiles also add a third layer, this layer serves for convenience when attaching the panel to the outer wall of the house. The third additional layer will serve as additional thermal insulation and can serve as a supporting base, which is necessary when installing elements of the finishing structure.

In the production of the material, only natural materials are used, without the admixture of synthetic ones. Clinker tiles are dyed using natural rather than artificial dyes, which gives the tile a natural hue.

Facing the house with thermal panels with clinker tiles is durable, it is also one of the most resistant materials for facade decoration.

After many years, clinker tiles do not lose their color, do not fade when exposed to direct sunlight. It does not crumble and does not crack after a long service life. The facade of the building, sheathed in this way, will retain its original appearance for many years, it will look modern and neat.

This material is resistant to large temperature fluctuations, as well as the ingress of precipitation.

Clinker tiles on facade panels are resistant to a variety of chemical reactions, and fungus and mold do not form on it. Insects are absolutely not harmful to such front panels. The degree of water resistance is very high.

One of the most important advantages of clinker panels is that they can be used for mounting on any hay, because they can be mounted both on a pre-installed frame and on a simple wall.

Almost all manufacturers of facade panels with clinker tiles claim that their service life can reach about 25 years, what can be said in practice, their durability can be much longer and exceed the service life specified by the manufacturer by almost several times.

Such facade panels pass steam well, so unwanted moisture will not accumulate under them, which once again confirms that there is a high probability of resistance to fungi.

It is possible to mount facade panels of this type in any weather. The installation process is so simple that you can do it completely on your own, without the help of specialists, this will significantly save your money, because the work of repair specialists is not a cheap pleasure. In addition, by sheathing the facade of your house with panels with clinker tiles, you are doing two things at the same time, namely, you are insulating your house, as well as decorating it externally.

Due to the convenient and regular shape of the facade panels, it is almost impossible to attach it crookedly and not neatly, this will significantly reduce the time spent on cladding the house.

Thanks to the insulation, this will significantly save your money on the purchase and installation of additional insulation for the walls of your house.

With the choice of color and shape of the facade panels with clinker tiles, the owners will not have any problems. After all, an extensive assortment will make it possible to realize even the most extraordinary design idea.

Thanks to the not very cheap, but rather expensive material used for the manufacture of thermal panels, such facade panels have a high price, so facing the front of the house will cost the owners of the house a lot of money. Not every owner can afford such an expensive pleasure.

Clinker tiles are made of ceramics, and it is well known to everyone that ceramics break easily from a strong blow. Therefore, when installing such facade panels with clinker tiles, be careful not to break or damage the appearance of the panels.

Preparation of the walls of the house before the installation of clinker panels

Each owner of his house wants to make repairs in his house as rarely as possible, it takes not only a lot of time, but also additional and not small costs, the same can be said about the facade cladding. If you properly prepare the exterior walls of the house before installing the facade panels, then your facade will serve you not only for the allotted service life provided by the manufacturer, but also much longer.

Stages of preparation of external walls

• The first stage of preparation is the inspection and cleaning of the surface. To do this, you need to carefully inspect the entire facade of the house and get rid of all protruding objects (if possible), including the removal of the air conditioner, shutters and other removable structures on the walls.
• If your house was previously painted or whitewashed, then it is worth getting rid of it, the walls of the house should be clean and uncoated. You can remove paint or whitewash with a metal brush.
• To prevent the occurrence of fungi, the surface of the walls should be treated with an antiseptic agent. Liquid antiseptic should be applied in at least two or even three layers. When the remedy for the occurrence of fungi is completely dry, the wall must be coated with a primer.

External cladding of private houses is carried out using various materials, from brick to vinyl siding and plaster. In the last few decades optimal solution to insulate the facade and give it an ideal appearance facade thermal panels are considered.

The basis for this is the design of the material - a layer of polyurethane foam or polystyrene 60 mm thick with a decorative coating. Between themselves, they are glued together with a special composition such as Berit PUR501 (German-made glue), which guarantees a reliable and permanent connection.

Is it worth choosing thermal panels for facade cladding?

There are no restrictions on the use of this material - thermal panels for the facade can be mounted on any type of wall: concrete, brick, plastered or without a layer of plaster, wood or any dense fibrous materials.

Finishing example outer wall building

Facing material is used in the decoration of new and in the process of insulating old buildings. At the same time, the appearance of buildings undergoes cardinal changes, acquiring a completely new appearance.

The main arguments in favor of using facade thermal panels:

• with the help of this facing material, it is possible to correct the broken geometry of the walls;
• installation work is carried out in any weather;
• there are many colors and textures of panels on sale, allowing you to carry out various design projects;
• the use of thermal panels minimizes the period of finishing work and does not require special vocational training performers;
• fastening is carried out with dowels, glue, foam for foam boards;
• panels have a long service life of the cladding, exceeding fifty years;
• the material is resistant to decay, mold or fungus;
• due to the design features and observance of geometric dimensions, there are no prerequisites for the appearance of cold bridges, and the dew point after installation is in the insulation layer;
• the light weight of the panels (about 15 kg per 1 sq. meter) eliminates the need to strengthen the existing foundation when repairing old buildings.

Facade thermal panels are manufactured by leading manufacturers facing materials, including A.D.W. Klinker, TERMOSIT, Isosiding and many others. Photos of facade thermal panels different kind presented on the manufacturer's websites. We will show you the main ones here:

Types of facade thermal panels

See what main types of thermal panels are used in construction and decoration.

Clinker thermal panels

Clinker is called finishing material, characterized by an impeccable appearance, with many options for coloring and texture of natural material, the absence of chemical additives. In terms of strength and resistance to aggressive environments, facade thermal panels with clinker tiles are not inferior to natural stone. Clinker has a very low water absorption coefficient - less than 3%, its strength grade - M800, frost resistance index - more than three hundred cycles.

An example of finishing with clinker thermal panels

Facade thermal panels with glazed tiles

As well as panels with a decorative layer of clinker tiles, this type of coating is very popular for exterior decoration of facades of low-rise private houses. The tile has a smooth surface, often imitating brickwork. Its main characteristics: excellent appearance, the ability to imitate various materials, easy installation, long service life.

Glazed tiles (ceramics) look much better than conventional clinker panels

There are also facade thermal panels of the following types: metal with insulation based on synthetic insulation up to 10 centimeters thick, wood fiber with polyurethane foam insulation, polystyrene foam coated with acrylic or marble chips.

All types of thermal panels are distinguished by a long service life, excellent appearance, the ability to imitate brickwork or natural stone, and effective heat retention in the building. Proof of this are the positive reviews about facade thermal panels that are posted on the Internet by developers who used them to decorate their homes.

Installation of thermal panels

Installation of facing thermal panels is carried out in various ways:

1. With wall irregularities not exceeding 30 millimeters vertically, installation is carried out directly on the cleaned surface using plastic, metal dowels or self-tapping screws. For gas silicate, foam concrete blocks and cinder blocks, it is necessary to install a vapor barrier film or membrane.
2. In cases of distortion of the facade geometry or when mounting on wooden walls pre-fixed metal profile substructures are used or wooden beam section 30-50 millimeters.

When installing without using a crate along the base along the perimeter of the building, a line for the base profile is marked 15-20 centimeters below the floor level. The lower plane of the launch pad, located at such a height, avoids the danger of cold bridges. Holes are drilled in the wall for dowels for the first panel from the corner of the facade, its outer edge is sawn at an angle of 45 ° (if corner elements are not used), then the panel is fixed to the facade and sealed with polyurethane foam. The assembly continues from left to right and from bottom to top. Upon completion, the seams between the panels are filled with frost-resistant grout.

Various locks for mounting on panels

Installation on the crate is carried out in accordance with the fixed and leveled horizontal and vertical guides.

The standard facade thermal panel has an area of ​​0.68 square meters, they are sold individually. This saves money on facing the house, given the fact that when using thermal panels, there is no need for additional wall insulation.

Private sector developers have fully appreciated the benefits of using facade thermal panels and their use in our country is constantly growing.

The exterior finish of the house is his calling card.

She demonstrates solidity buildings and gives it finished look.

Some finishes are additional layers for thermal insulation, sound insulation and good protection from the external environment.

What are thermal panels?

facade thermal panels are finishing material that is also insulating.

This functional material allows save time for finishing, facade insulation and money for their purchase. Panels easily attached to the facade, facilitating the exterior decoration of the house.

Properties of decorative thermal panels

• Panels imitate flawless brickwork and give the building a unique look;
• Significantly increase thermal insulation, soundproofing and waterproofing the buildings. These effects are achieved by features of technical characteristics;
• Allow save on heating up to 50%.

The composition of thermal panels

Thermopanels are made up of energy saving layer and facing tiles which is decorative. decorative part is made in the form of brickwork.

Can be used as a heater extruded expanded polystyrene, expanded polystyrene and polyurethane foam. These materials durable and have high thermal insulation properties.

Elements facade thermal panel:

1. Clinker tiles;
2. Plywood;
3. insulation layer;
4. Reinforcing layers.

Connecting panels to each other tongue-and-groove fastening (used when installing tongue-and-groove plates). Such fastening of individual tiles hinders penetration of moisture and dirt.

Facade clinker panels are designed for cladding any surfaces (concrete, blocks, wood, brick and others).

Application

Decorative paneling more common for low-rise buildings.

Particularly popular cladding countryside houses and cottages, because thermal panels have high thermal insulation properties when low cost.

Panels are made from high quality materials according to German technology. The scope of thermal panels - external decorative trim buildings, insulation of the facade and making it decorative.

Attention! The dimensions of the tiles and the thickness of the insulation, different for each specific manufacturer company.

2. Additional thermal panel;
3. Facade basement panels(with large size tiles);
4. Corner thermal panel with corner tiles;
5. Facade thermopanel angular;
6. Window vertical facade panel;
7. Window horizontal facade panel.

Production of facade thermal panels

The production of thermal panels is automated(purchased at ready-made) and manual(manufactured independently).

Plus this option for creating panels - you yourself choose which one will be insulation(including its thickness) and view clinker tiles, so they will definitely fit you.

Minuses independent production lot necessary tools(concrete mixer, scales, tables and racks) and the presence of a separate room that is well ventilated.

Attention! Best front panel options expensive, but an economical option would be to independently create such panels.

Advantages of thermal facade panels

• Not needed specialized care;
• moisture resistance does not allow the fungus to hit the facade thermal panels;
• Reduces electricity consumption due to excellent thermal insulation;
• Environmentally friendly materials;
• Quick installation and assembly panels, strong fastenings;
• Quick change damaged panels;
• Possibility use panels for finishing inside the building without loss of properties;
• Strength materials;
• Light weight thermal panels.

Disadvantages of thermal panels

Today, many different building technologies appear - some disappear almost immediately, not justifying the hopes of the developers, and some take root and serve for quite a long time. And the point here is absolutely not their effectiveness (although this is also important) - in order for a finishing or building material to be recognized by the people, it must have many advantages and surpass its counterparts in many respects.

Unfortunately, this does not happen often, and in the modern market, many innovations remain unclaimed or at least little in demand. Thermal panels for the facade are no exception here, which, although they have shown themselves on the positive side, still do not have universal recognition - the reason for this is their exorbitant price, which makes the majority of people turn their eyes to cheaper and more familiar technologies. We will talk about facade thermal panels in this article, analyze the material and compare it with other technologies for warming and finishing the facade of a house.

Characteristics of facade thermal panels for exterior decoration

In fact, considering specifications facade thermal panels for the house, we can unequivocally conclude that this material is useful and worthwhile in terms of finishing and insulating the facade. In many respects, if not superior, then in no way inferior to other similar materials. For some reason it is even surprising that he does not have such wide recognition. See for yourself.

As you can see, everything is very serious, and technical indicators just open the way for this material to people. But that was not the case - the above-described qualities are not enough for people. Required ease of installation so that all the work can be done by hand, or at least an inexpensive price for their installation. You also need an affordable price directly to the material, which is not enough for thermal panels - in this regard, the panels for the facade of the house did not manage to bypass the foam and other simple finishing and insulation technologies.

The main advantages of facade insulation with thermal panels

In principle, we have already dealt with the main part of the advantages of this material, and those who understand the properties of the material have long realized what they will need to deal with. There is just not much left to add.

And, of course, a rather attractive appearance - these panels have a polymer-sand coating on the outside, it can be given almost any texture, including making it look like a brick or a natural stone. It is this polymer-sand layer of slabs that distinguishes them from other similar building materials, making it almost unaffected by external influences.

Globally, all facade panels manufactured today can be divided into two large classes of materials made on the basis of polyurethane, and those materials where polystyrene is used as a heater. The differences between them are quite significant, and you need to know about them.

The only positive thing about this material is its price, which, unlike its counterpart made of polyurethane, is 50 percent less.

If we consider other types of facade thermal panels, then we can still distinguish differences in the type of external decorative layer - there are polymer-sand and metal thermal panels. The latter appeared later, and their appearance was due to an attempt by manufacturers to reduce the price of the material. In fact, nothing good came of this, since there is already an analogue of this material, and it has the name of a sandwich panel.

Also, a sign by which thermal panels for the facade of a house are classified is their appearance - for example, there are clinker panels for the facade (or, in other words, under a brick), thermal panels under a tree, under a stone and under many other artificial and natural materials. With the problem of the appearance of the house, we think you will figure it out yourself.

Thermal panels for the facade: issue price

Today, thermal panels are offered by almost all companies that deal with facade decoration. You can see them in almost any hardware store. Prices vary greatly depending on the manufacturer. Finnish, Dutch and German panels are the most expensive in terms of price, costing up to 3000 rubles / sq.m. This can be partly explained by the fact that many of them are made with a clinker coating.

Polish panels at a price in the range 1500-1800 rub/sq.m. And domestic ones, even with clinker cladding, are in the region of 900-1200 rubles / sq.m.

Features of installing thermal panels with your own hands

Like most other modern building materials, thermal panels can be installed in several ways - using a frame and directly on the wall. in the best way installation of this material is mounting on the surface of the wall, but it is not always possible - for example, if the walls have a significant deviation from the level, then it is advisable to install a frame. Let us consider in more detail these two options for mounting thermal panels.

• Frameless installation option- as already mentioned above, it is possible only with smooth wall surfaces. The meaning of this mounting option is that the panel is simply nailed to brick wall dowels through the holes made by the manufacturer.
• Frame method it looks almost exactly the same, but the panels are screwed or nailed not to the brick, but to the supporting beams of the frame - the difference is small, in addition to the ability to level the surfaces of the walls, the frame does nothing. You can even say so - with this installation option, it will even harm. Air will circulate in the space between the thermal panel and the wall, taking heat from the house - that is why, after fixing the first row of thermal panels, the space between the wall and the panel is sealed with construction foam.

In everything else, brick house decoration facade panels produced in the same way as any other building materials.

First, a plinth is installed - in this case, the panels go deep into the ground no less than 10-20 cm – top part basement thermal panels must be sealed with construction foam. Then, ebbs are attached to the base, and only after that the first row of plates is laid - everything must be done according to the level and clearly, without any deviations.

As mentioned above, the first row of slabs is sealed with building foam to prevent air circulation in the space between them and the brick - sealing is required both for the frame mounting option and for the frameless installation. And then along the knurled - the second row is laid behind the first row, after the third, and so on until the end.

Great attention must be paid to the slopes - they are installed as standard with the help of a corner element, thanks to which all corners are mounted. There are inner and outer corners. But the point is not that - before attaching the thermal panels to the slopes, they must first be insulated. In all other respects, there are no difficulties during installation - sometimes you even wonder why builders take such money if we are talking, so to speak, about assembling a regular constructor.

By and large, this is all, and add about facade thermal panels for exterior finish there is almost nothing at home - just to mention once again that the panels are assembled according to the principle of children's puzzles. One plate is wound from the side under the other, then fixed to the crate or wall.
