Basalt Wool Novoterm NT Facade 100

1000x600 mm

Novoterm NT Facade insulation is made from basalt. Using a special technology, basalt is melted at high temperatures, drawn into a fiber, and given a slab shape. This high-quality insulation is produced in Ukraine and is comparable to foreign counterparts in its characteristics. The main purpose of this insulation is the thermal insulation of **facades**; it's designed for facade insulation systems in private, cottage, and high-rise construction. It is fixed using the wet method (with adhesive mixtures) under plaster. Novoterm NT Facade insulation not only provides thermal insulation but also has good **soundproofing characteristics**.

Advantages:

• The slab insulation comes in standard sizes of 1000x600mm;
• the basalt slab insulation is completely **ecological**;
• the slabs are treated with **hydrophobic water-repellent impregnations** to prevent the wool from soaking when covered with a plaster layer and during high humidity;
• resistant to **fungi and mould**, although their appearance is excluded with proper installation, as it has a high vapour permeability coefficient;
• stone basalt wool is absolutely **non-combustible** and has a long service life;
• creates comfort and coziness thanks to high **soundproofing properties**.

Installation: After opening the branded polyethylene packaging with the Novoterm label, slabs of the required thickness are attached to a pre-prepared base. The facade walls of the building must be cleaned of dust, dirt, and other materials that prevent adhesion. The surface should be treated with a deep penetration primer to strengthen the outer layer of the base plaster and reduce moisture absorption.

Special adhesive mixtures designed for bonding basalt wool must be used as the glue for preliminary fastening. The adhesive can be applied to the entire surface of the slab and leveled with a notched trowel, or applied along the perimeter with a 5-7 cm gap. 3-4 segments of adhesive should be placed in the middle of the slab, enough so that when pressed tightly against the wall, the adhesive covers at least 40%-60% of the surface.

Mechanical fastening using dowels (umbrella fixings), **necessarily with a metal rod**, can be done no earlier than 1-3 days after the slabs are installed. After this, the same adhesive compound completely covers the outer surface of the slab with a layer of 2-3 mm, and an **reinforcing mesh** is pressed into it and leveled with a trowel. If the surface has significant irregularities, the adhesive is applied using the beacon method. After complete drying, a protective and decorative plaster layer can be applied.

Please note! The reinforcing plaster mesh must be of high quality and 145 density, and **must be alkali-resistant**, otherwise it will quickly become unusable.
