Adhesive for facade: instruction and reviews from manufacturers

Today, the most common method of thermal insulation of facades is the gluing of mineral wool or polystyrene plates to external walls with subsequent finishing works. This technology is relevant for almost all regions of Russia, because 40% of the heat leakage occurs through the external walls. To conduct such work, glue is usually used as a facade. It can be used to install different materials.

It is important to correctly approach the issue of choosing glue. Some of its varieties are designed for use at positive temperatures, while others can be applied over a wide range of temperatures. It is important to take into account also the base material, as well as the level of adhesion. Many consumers pay special attention to the manufacturer. For example, "Ceresite" has established itself in the market of the relevant materials, so its products are so popular.

Cement-based glue

Compositions on a cement basis contain additives and fractional quartz sand. Such mixtures have a high adhesion to mineral wool and foam. As a result, it is possible to obtain a layer that is resistant to cracking, is characterized by weather resistance and resistance to peeling. The structure eliminates the formation of cold bridges, prevents the formation of condensation between the wall and the heater, and additives allow work even at negative temperatures.

Cement glue facade allows you to smooth minor defects. If the surface is leveled by a solid method, the defects can reach 3 mm. With band alignment, it is allowed to swing up to 5 mm. When it is planned to use the beacon method of applying the composition, the cavities may reach a mark of 15 mm.

Reviews of cement facade glue "EmfiFasad"

If you need glue for facade works, then you can choose "EmfiFasad", which, in the opinion of consumers, has excellent adhesion to the generally accepted building fundamentals. The latter should be sufficiently firm and strong. To the surface there are special requirements:

• It should ensure evenness;
• It should be cleaned of traces of loose plaster, paint, oil, grease and mortar.

As a basis, as the users emphasize, it can be brick or concrete. Excellent glue with fixed polystyrene and mineral wool. The composition is a gray powder with a density of 1.3 kg / m ³ . On 1 kg of a dry structure it is required approximately 0,3 l of water. Consumers emphasize that the consistency of the mixture is rather viscous.

The temperature of use varies from +5 to +35 ° C. Buyers are advised not to shut up too much volume of the mixture, because the time of its use is half an hour. This facade adhesive for foam plastic has excellent moisture resistance, and the temperature of its use varies from -40 to +80 ° C. Adhesion in air after 28 days is 1.4 MPa. Buyers quite often choose this composition also for the reason that it is resistant to deformations.

Instructions for the use of cement glue "EmfiFasad"

The above-described façade adhesive for insulation must be applied to pre-prepared substrates. They must not be shrunk, in addition, they must be cleaned beforehand. To obtain a homogeneous mass of 25 kg of glue, about 7 liters of water should be used. The glue is kneaded in pure water at a temperature of 20 ° C.

The more porous the base is, the more water it will take. The glue must be mixed mechanically or by an electric stirrer, which should be set to 400 rpm. The composition after stirring is left for 3 minutes to ripen, then again mixed. The substrate must be moistened if the ambient temperature is 30 ° C or more.

Facade glue should be applied to the insulation panels with a notched trowel. It is distributed over their entire surface. If you want to work with small slabs, then the application is done by several cakes. On the edge of the canvas you need to make a side. Then the plate is well pressed against the base.

It is important to remember that the mixture is thixotropic, so the unevenness of the substrate can be impressive. The application of the reinforcing layer is permissible one day after the gluing of the plate. The panel is applied a fairly thick layer of glue, so that it can drown the grid of alkali-resistant fiberglass. The material is heated by a third of the thickness and smoothed with a spatula.

Polyurethane foam facade adhesive

Polyurethane foam facade is quite convenient to use at negative temperatures, when the thermometer has dropped below -10 ° C. Such compositions have good thermal insulation properties and a high degree of adhesion. If you use polyurethane foam during work, the cylinders with the composition are preheated at room temperature.

The curing time will be increased if the temperature is lower. The application is carried out by the gun, the balloon must be turned upside down. Leaving the edge of the plate 2 cm, the mixture is distributed on the back surface of the plate, then the cloth is pressed against the wall. Remains of the adhesive are removed with a solvent, and after drying - mechanically.

Reviews of polyurethane adhesive «Ceresite ST 84»

Polyurethane glue facade "Ceresite" is convenient and easy to use, slightly dilates with curing and has a high level of adhesion to different in nature reasons. Dowelling, according to the buyers, is possible already in 2 hours after gluing the slabs.

The mixture is homogeneous in structure and has excellent thermal insulation properties. Polyurethane facade adhesive, whose consumption is one cylinder per 10 m ² surface, can be used, as the buyers emphasize, at negative temperatures and high air humidity. Consumers like that the mixture does not contain freons, is water resistant and economical.

Instructions for use: surface preparation

Before starting to use polyurethane adhesive, it is necessary to prepare the substrate. It should be cleaned of dust, check if it is strong. On the walls there should be no calcareous plaque, efflorescence, bitumen and fats. Walls should not be covered with ice, frost or snow. Insufficiently tightened areas should be removed.

Instructions for use of polyurethane glue

Before using the "Ceresite" glue, the balloon should be vigorously shaken for a few seconds. The cap is removed from the valve, and afterwards it is necessary to press on the mounting gun. The glue is applied through the center with a deviation from the edges with one strip, which will be oriented parallel to the long sides.

After applying the glue the plate is installed in the design position and pressed. Within 20 minutes, the position of the plate can be adjusted. It is important to ensure the ligation of the seams between the canvases. Clearances between plates should not appear more than 2 mm.

Reviews of glue WEBER THERM S100 (winter) for facade mesh

Quite often, when performing external insulation work, glue is used for the facade mesh. As the buyers say, the WEBER THERM mix is perfect for this. It allows the gluing of all standard insulating materials over a wide temperature range from -10 to +10 ° C. Consumers emphasize that especially the composition is suitable for breathing systems that are equipped with mineral wool.
