External wall insulation system

Description

Baumit StarSystem Mineral is a proven mineral wool insulation system suitable for all building classes. Using mineral wool in thermal insulation boards allows for a layer to be covered with a mineral basecoat made from a levelling layer, basecoat, and fibreglass mesh. 


A weather-resistant topcoat is applied over this. Baumit StarSystem Mineral is a British Board of Agrément (BBA) approved system.


The external insulation board, Mineral Wool EWI Slab, contains no combustible components as it is made of mineral wool fibre, which are bonded together with resins. 


Features and benefits:

  • BBA Approved system.
  • Non-combustible.
  • Excellent physical strength.
  • Soundproofing properties.
  • Excellent vapour permeability.


System includes:

Base: new masonry or original base.

  • Final Topcoat - Baumit StarTop is a highly weatherproof topcoat render, complete with silicon binder and a functional filler, providing the building with a quick-drying finished façade surface in damp weather conditions.
  • Baumit SilikonTop is a ready-to-use, silicone resin render. Highly durable and suitable for almost all requirements.
  • Primer - Baumit PremiumPrimer is a ready-to-use, quartz filled primer for synthetic and mineral decorative finishes. It has high covering power and regulates absorption.
  • Baumit UniPrimer is a ready-to-use, primer for synthetic and mineral decorative finishes. It has high covering power and regulates absorption.
  •  Basecoat - Baumit StarContact/White is a vapour-permeable, polymer modified adhesive and base coat render. It is made from vapour permeable grey or white cement and is extremely weather-resistant and flexible.
  •  Reinforcement - Baumit StarTex is an alkali-resistant glass fibre mesh that is used to produce a reinforced mortar layer, strengthening the render system.
  •  Fixing - Baumit STR U 2G is designed for mechanical fastening of polystyrene and mineral wool insulation boards to masonry substrates.
  •  Insulation - Baumit StarTherm Mineral is a A1 fire rated, dual-density, mineral wool façade insulation board.
  •  Adhesive - Baumit StarContact White is a vapour-permeable, polymer modified adhesive and base coat render. It is made from grey and white cement and is extremely weather-resistant and flexible.
