Heat release and flame spread assessment of insulation in External Thermal Insulation Composite System (ETICS) facades
External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) represent a popular modern facade for reducing energy consumption, particularly in retrofit applications. Insulation - typically in the form of either EPS (expanded polystyrene) or mineral wool - is applied to the exterior of buildings using mortar adhesive, and then coated with a final layer of sand-cement render and glass fibre reinforcement.
