External Wall Insulation in Çayyolu

Much of Çayyolu is built as residential complexes, and because external insulation is shared façade work, it cannot be carried out on the decision of a single flat. The decision is taken at the flat owners’ general meeting or by the procedure set out in the complex’s management plan; it is best to confirm the required majority with your manager or a lawyer.

In complexes with cooperative origins, the maintenance histories of the blocks may differ from one another. In that case, rather than doing the whole complex at once, a programme that proceeds block by block eases both the budget and residents’ daily lives.

• A technical summary and site visit notes for the management board meeting
• Separate quotation options per block or for the entire complex
• Preserving the complex’s architectural unity in the choice of colour and texture

The type and thickness of the insulation board are determined by the building’s height, the condition of the façade and the thermal insulation calculation to be carried out. EPS and stone wool are the most common options; in areas close to the ground and exposed to moisture, other materials are considered.

What sets good external insulation apart from an ordinary job is the detailing: continuous insulation around window edges, suitable sills, the correct anchor pattern and a mesh-reinforced render layer. Carelessness at these points shows itself a few winters later as thermal bridges and cracks.
