The process of thermal insulation and protective coating of the exterior surface of a building is called "sheathing". Insulation increases the energy efficiency of buildings, reduces heat losses and creates a more sustainable living space. The materials used for the sheathing process may be:
Thermal Insulation Boards: One of the basic materials of the cladding process is thermal insulation boards. These sheets are usually made of extruded polystyrene (XPS) or expanded polystyrene (EPS) materials and are applied to the exterior of the building.
Thermal Insulation Plaster: Thermal insulation plaster is a plaster that covers the outer surface of the building by applying it on thermal insulation boards. This plaster provides protection of the boards and offers an aesthetic appearance.
Plaster and Coating Materials: After the cladding process, plaster and coating materials are used to cover the exterior of the building. These materials provide an aesthetic and protective coating.
Curtain Wall Linings: Curtain wall lining used in corners and connection points during the sheathing process provides waterproofing.
Floor and Ceiling Insulation: During the sheathing process, the insulation of the floors and ceilings of the building should also be considered. For this purpose, floor and ceiling insulation materials are used.
Accessories: During the cladding process, appropriate accessories are used for corner profiles, window and door frames.
Sheathing materials may vary depending on the building's climatic conditions, building type and energy efficiency goals.
