Fixings for insulated walls (ETICS)

For smaller and larger heights, strong and heavier loads, greening in public areas (where vandalism is an issue!), we have a system for you. Also with such climbers, where it is particularly indicated, heavy and solid climbing elements are preferable, as well as within semi-public areas, in yards, where children play football, etc., (where safety may be an issue). Otherwise, medium or simple kits almost always suffice, using only low loads with easy and light growing elements. Cable diameters of 2 or 3 mm are also less expensive, more flexible, and don't require holders big enough to fit 4 mm cable (as with massive and heavy constructions).

Ideally (but rarely), the facade greening is factored in at the same time as the building construction is being planned, or before construction is finished. The anchors for the trellis can then be built while the façade is being externally insulated. FassadenGrün offers two fittings for this case:

• XP 12XX3 basic version

• XP 12XX5 with thermal separation (wall distance)

Most often, the decision to have climbing plants grow on the façade is made after the building is built and the external insulation (ETICS) has been installed and sealed. The fittings listed here are designed to be installed on a finished façade.

• XP 12XX7 for ETICS up to 18 cm

• XP 12XX9 for ETICS up to 24 (30) cm

• WM 12XX8 for ETICS up to 12 (14) cm

• WM 12XX9 for ETICS up to 22 cm; easy installation

• WM 12XX2 for ETICS up to 6 cm for light loads

• WM 12XX4 for ETICS up to 12 cm for light / medium loads

• WM 12XX6 for ETICS up to 16 cm on hard insulation

• WH 08555 direct installation in the ETICS panels

Metals - such as the stainless steel we use -  are conducive of heat; way more than masonry, wood or plastics are. A metal shaft emebedded deep into the masonry may conduct heat out of the heated inner rooms. The total lost energy is small, but it is possible that on the inner wall the temperature drops punctually from 1 to 3 degrees Celsius, wich can theoretically lead to wet spots if the ambient humidity is high. In the worst case, this can lead to mold. It is therefore necessary to prevent thermal bridges in the masonry. 

All our wall anchors are sealed in the wall with composite mortar. The epoxy resin is not heat conducive and will prevent the loss of warmth.

Our thermal separator TT 12150 avoids any metal inside the masonry and all heat loss is prevented.
