Steps reconstruction of exterior walls
1. Installation of metal studs: when the demolition and cleanup are completed, the first step is to install metal studs at regular intervals. They are used to receive finishes interior and exterior perimeter walls of the building. The installation of a support panel plaster designed for outdoor follows immediately.
2. Installation of a waterproofing membrane: thereafter, a waterproofing membrane is installed on the outer support panels. It acts as an air barrier and vapor barrier: one envelope the building with the membrane so that it prevents both air and rain water from entering the building and the moisture inside the housing through the wall outside.
3. Installation of doors (patio doors) and windows: then just install windows and doors (patio doors). Select models are Energy Star certified and aluminum. They will thus reduce the heat in the summer housing through argon gas and LOW-E film contained in the thermal glass exterior.
In addition, a continuous insulation outside the building because it has better durability. It wraps the building without interruption, eliminating the vast majority of bridges thermal (heat loss) and providing insulation and sealing uniforms. As we have two types of siding (terracotta tiles and architectural concrete blocks), two different isolation methods were used:
4. Wall insulation-coated tiles of terra-cotta (siding stoneware) before installation of insulation, metal studs for receiving the fastening system of terracotta tiles are installed horizontally. Between them, insulating panels in strings (brand Fibrex) are inserted. This mineral-based insulation provides the advantage of retaining its thermal properties even when wet from rain water. It is attached to support panel by a fastening system with plastic washers.
5. Insulation covering the walls with architectural concrete blocks: before installing the insulation and in preparation for the installation of architectural concrete blocks, are installed at regular intervals of metallic fixation. Subsequently, it squirts the urethane insulation with a thickness of 75 millimeters.
6. Coating surface finish: finally, we install the siding, either architectural concrete blocks and terracotta tiles. The installation of the railings of the balconies and the application of sealants seal can then be completed.
