00 / The brief

The cheapest energy you'll ever buy — if it's installed as a proper system.

Wrapping a building on the outside removes cold spots, keeps the structure warm, and comes with a brand-new facade attached. In Greek apartment blocks, it's routinely the single biggest cut to heating and cooling bills available.

1–2 weeks

A facade insulated with mixed brands is not a system — and it is not covered by anybody's warranty.

What makes it work is buying it as one tested system rather than a pile of parts — boards, adhesive, mesh and render tested together, applied in the right order, with the tricky details around windows and corners drawn in advance. That's what we supply, not a pallet of boards and best wishes.

Fire safety, programme and looks, all covered.

Where fire rating matters most, we supply non-combustible boards. Weather-resistant renders hold their colour on a south-facing wall and shed dirt with the first rain.

  • Renders that hold their colour
  • Phased delivery for buildings that stay open

04

Lower cooling load, without touching the tenants inside.

Commercial buildings run air conditioning hard all day, so cutting the heat gain through the walls goes straight to the cooling bill. Work is sequenced floor by floor so the building stays open and occupied throughout.

  • Sized to cut summer cooling load, not just winter heating
  • Sequenced so the building stays open
  • Render finish matched to the corporate palette

04 / How to specify it

The decisions that decide the result.

01 / 05

Let the energy target set the thickness

Your energy study and any subsidy scheme decide the millimetres — not habit or price alone.

02 / 05

Keep every layer as one system

The certified combination is what's covered by warranty — swapping in a cheaper layer voids it.

03 / 05

Sort the details before the scaffold goes up

Reveals, corners and shutter boxes are where facades fail — we draw them in advance.

04 / 05

Check the existing wall first

A quick test on the old render decides how the new system is fixed on.

05 / 05

Plan the subsidy paperwork before the scaffold goes up

Energy programmes like Exoikonomo want a before-and-after energy study, product certificates and photographic proof at each stage — all far easier to collect if the file is opened before work starts than reconstructed afterwards. We prepare the documentation as the job progresses.

Common mistakes

Mixing brands across the layers

A cheap layer under a premium finish is the classic way to lose the warranty and crack the facade.

Skimping on fixings

Corners and edges need more support than the flat wall — we calculate this per building.

Rendering in the wrong weather

Hot sun, rain or cold during cure causes colour patches and a weak finish — we schedule around it.

06 / The long read

What actually decides
a good external Thermal Insulation (ETICS) order.

One certified insulation system arrives complete, with the documents your energy study and subsidy file need. This is the part most suppliers leave out: what we import, how external Thermal Insulation (ETICS) should be specified before anyone prices it, where projects lose money, and what our 1–2 weeks lead time actually covers.

01

What we import, and what lands on site

External thermal insulation composite systems for new build and energy retrofit: graphite EPS or stone wool boards, system adhesive, mechanical anchors, alkali-resistant mesh, base coat, primer and silicone or silicate finish render — supplied as one certified system with the layer schedule, quantities and details your engineer needs for the energy study and the subsidy file.

Because we buy external Thermal Insulation (ETICS) directly from the factories, the range you see is the range we can programme — not a catalogue we hope to source later. In practice that means graphite EPS Boards, stone Wool Boards and adhesives & Base Coats, each with its own price band and availability, so a specification can be tuned to a budget instead of abandoned.

One certified system, one warranty: boards, adhesive, anchors, mesh, base coat and render come from the same certified system — mixing brands is what voids the guarantee.

A facade insulated with mixed brands is not a system — and it is not covered by anybody's warranty.

02

How external Thermal Insulation (ETICS) should be specified before it is priced

Specifying external Thermal Insulation (ETICS) well comes down to a short list of decisions taken in the right order — let the energy target set the thickness, keep every layer as one system, sort the details before the scaffold goes up and check the existing wall first. Taken on paper, these cost nothing. Taken on site, each one is a change order.

We write the specification with you before anything is quoted, so the number you get is for the material that will actually be installed. That means confirmed dimensions and finishes, the right performance class for the space, and quantities that include the waste factor rather than discovering it mid-installation.

The same reference behaves differently depending on where it goes — apartment-block energy retrofits, new-build residences, hotels and short-term rentals and public and school buildings each carry their own requirements, and we specify against the space rather than against a mood image.

03

Where external Thermal Insulation (ETICS) projects lose time and money

Almost every delay we are called in to rescue traces back to the same handful of causes: mixing brands across the layers, skimping on fixings, rendering in the wrong weather and insulating over a damp wall. None of them are exotic, and all of them are avoidable at specification stage.

Mixing brands across the layers is the most expensive one, because a cheap layer under a premium finish is the classic way to lose the warranty and crack the facade.

We have supplied external Thermal Insulation (ETICS) into apartment-block retrofits, new-build residences and hotels & public buildings, and the pattern is consistent: the projects that run smoothly are the ones where the material was locked before the trades were booked.

Skimping on fixings — checked once on paper, never again on site.

04

Lead times, pricing and what we handle

Standard lead time on external Thermal Insulation (ETICS) is 1–2 weeks from confirmed specification, and that window covers the whole chain — factory programming, consolidation, transport, customs where applicable and delivery to site or to your warehouse. We quote the landed number, not an ex-works price that grows later.

Pricing is per project rather than per line. Because we import directly and consolidate external Thermal Insulation (ETICS) with the rest of the materials for the same room, you get one quote, one delivery window and one point of contact — and the savings show up on the total, not just on a headline reference.

If you already have drawings, send them and we will come back with a specification and a landed price. If you do not, we will build the specification with you first. Either way, nothing is ordered until the quantities, finishes and dates are agreed in writing.

07 / Questions

Frequently asked

Which are the best materials for thermoprosopsi?+

For most Greek buildings graphite EPS at λ 0.031 W/mK gives the best thermal performance per euro, with a silicone render on top for water repellence and colour stability. Where fire class or height demands it, stone wool A1 boards replace the EPS. What matters more than the brand is that all layers belong to one certified system.

What thickness of insulation is best?+

In most Greek climate zones 60–80 mm of graphite EPS hits the sweet spot; colder zones and buildings targeting deep-retrofit grants go to 100–120 mm. Your energy study sets the target U-value and we specify the board thickness that meets it.

How much does external insulation cost per square metre?+

Materials are quoted per m² of facade including adhesive, boards, anchors, mesh, base coat, primer and render — send the elevation areas and opening schedule and we return one figure with the layer consumption shown.

Can it be applied over an existing render?+

Yes, if the existing render is sound, clean and bonded. We test adhesion and specify the fixing pattern — bonded plus mechanically anchored — accordingly. Loose or blown render must come off first.

What season should thermoprosopsi be applied?+

Between roughly 5°C and 30°C with no rain or direct hard sun on the fresh render — spring and autumn are ideal in Greece. Winter-grade additives extend the season where the programme demands it.
