The Baumit StarSystem is an external wall insulation system that uses expanded polystyrene to create a superior insulation build. This adaptable and durable system is the complete package, providing safe insulation for new homes and renovated spaces.

EPS is created using small beads of foam. Steam is then applied to these beads, which causes them to expand and bond together. The cell structure is tight, to reduce the loss of heat, but with occasional gaps in the build which allow for the release of water vapour.

The StarSystem EPS by Baumit is made up of several key components, including the all-important EPS insulation boards, that have been tested extensively for improved capabilities. Using an adhesive as well as mechanical fixing for superior bond strength and workability, high performance EPS insulation boards, flexible polymer-modified basecoats incorporating glass-fibre mesh reinforcement, and a durable primer and topcoat combination, the StarSystem EPS fulfils all project insulation needs.

Features and benefits:

An ETA and BBA-approved system.
Excellent flexibility and impact resistance. The flexible basecoat moves as required, fluctuating with changes rather than receiving damage.
Weatherproof, and resistant to changes in both temperature and wind.
Easy to apply external wall insulation.
The EPS system is adaptable to both new constructions and renovated works.
Can reduce heating costs in old buildings by adhering directly to existing masonry, and improving the thermal insulation efficiency of the building.
Security for generations thanks to the combination of robust strength and attractive finish.
Mineral-based ingredients offer fire resistance to B, s1 -d0, for added security provided by your external wall insulation system.
Baumit Silikontop provides a water-repellent and dirt-resistant top coat, available in a range of colours to suit any façade.

System includes:

Base: new masonry or original base.

Final Topcoat - Baumit StarTop is an easy to apply topcoat render. Baumit SilikonTop is a ready-to-use, silicone resin render.
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 reinforcing mortar.
Reinforcement - Baumit StarTex is a alkali-resistant glass fibre mesh that is used to produce a reinforced mortar layer to add extra strength to 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 EPS consists of expanded polystyrene. It has excellent insulating properties.
Adhesive - Baumit StarContact/White is a vapour-permeable, polymer-modified adhesive and base coat reinforcing mortar.
