Stone Wool Insulation Systems

Surface Preparation

The horizontal and vertical scales of all facades of the building must be determined before starting the application. If there are any parts that prevent adhesion on the surface, they should be removed. The subbasement profile is fixed 20 cm below the subbasement level. Correct fixing of the subbasement profile at horizontal plane and mesh corner profile vertically is necessary for proper implementation of entire system.

Application

Kalekim Stone Wool Thermal Insulation Board adhesive mortar Mantotech should be prepared by mixing with water according to application detail. Mantotech should be applied on one side of the board along its edge and as a bulk on it. Adhesive should be applied to the board by means of a trowel in a line form on the edges and onto it as 6 pieces. Stone wool boards should be pressed against each other for bonding. The mortar percolating through during the compaction of the boards must be cleaned.
The smoothness of the outer surface of the insulation should be checked after the boards have been bonded and possible roughness and slight curvatures on the rock wool board must be cleaned by using a thick sandpaper with a handle. It may be necessary to cut the board during the application. This can be done by using simple cutting tools.
Thermal insulation boards must be applied in the corners of the building and on the building surface with tusk tenon method. Window and door corners should be insulated using the whole plate to prevent cracks and fractures in the corners. Screw anchors should be applied at least 24 hours after bonding. Depending on the condition of the insulated surface, heat insulation thickness, building height and the load capacity of the façade, Kalekim anchor in appropriate size should be used.
Windows, doors and building corners are reinforced with mesh corner profile and plastered with plaster. Kalekim thermal insulation board plaster Mantoplast is prepared according to manufacturer's recommendations.
The first layer of plaster should be applied at least 24 hours after bonding. Homogeneous plaster thickness (average) should be 2.00 mm. Application should be made with a steel trowel. In order to get a homogenous thickness, the first layer is levelled on the board by using a 3x3 mm notched trowel.
The windows, doors and building corners are reinforced with Kale Mesh PVC Corner Profile and the horizontal corbels are reinforced with a mesh drip profile at the corners and kept over the first plaster layer. Surface mesh is pressed lightly by means of a steel trowel before the plaster dries. Windows and door corners should be reinforced with bridge wing mesh. Joints of the mesh should overlap 10 cm horizontally and vertically with each other.
And by applying a second the plaster layer, a smooth surface is obtained. Homogeneous thickness of the second layer of plaster (average) should be 1.00 mm. Following the application and curing of 4057 Foamplast plaster, application of Minart Silver or Minart Dekor decorative finish coating, which can breathe, has the thickness of minimum 1.00-2.00 mm, solvent free and has a rough surface, is performed. In order to ensure better adhesion of Minart Silver or Minart Dekor decorative finish coating to the plaster, Kale Silastar must be applied as a single layer. Kale Minart Silver or Minart Dekor decorative coating is applied on dried plaster by using a steel/plastic trowel and the system is completed by creating the texture.

Paint Application

Once Minart Dekor 300 decorative coating gets its cure, primer application should be made with Silastar in order to reduce consumption by balancing the surface absorption rate and increase adhesion of the paint to be applied on it. Paint application must be made by using the colours chosen from the exterior facade colour plate designed for Kale Performa+.
