The brochure provides an overview of EAE’s activities and achievements for the benefits of our members in 2024.
Assessment of the long-term reliability of installed external thermal insulation composite systems (study)
External thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS) have been in use since the early 1960s. In the beginning, these insulation systems were only applied using polystyrene hard-foam boards and synthetic resin plasters. Later on, mineral systems were also used. As early as in the 1970s, the Holzkirchen branch of the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBP…

European Application Guideline for ETICS
Quality, safety and durability of ETICS depend the quality of the system, the design and the appropriate installation of qualified craftsmen. Since 2011 EAE’s application guideline offers general advice and includes lots of information about construction details. In addition installation manuals of system holders have to be considered. The European Application Guideline is translated in…
Information brochure “ETICS are amazing!”
