Thermal bridges are areas of a construction where heat is able to escape more easily. They are commonly found at junctions and around openings where there is an interruption in the insulation layer. It’s important to take steps to address these potential losses to ensure buildings retain heat efficiently.

It's crucial to understand the science behind thermal wall insulation to make informed decisions for your projects. The key metric to focus on is thermal conductivity (K-value or lambda [W/mK]), which measures a material's ability to conduct heat. Lower values signify better insulation, making materials like EPS stand out for their superior performance over AAC blocks. This is why insulation systems like ETICS/EIFS, leveraging materials with low lambda values like EPS and mineral wool (MW), are globally recognized for their effectiveness in creating a well-sealed building envelope while minimizing thermal bridging challenges. Stay informed to make smarter choices in construction. #TeamWallSystem #ETICS #construction #vinnapas 🏠🔍🔧

HESS AAC SYSTEMS stands for fewer thermal bridges, more efficiency: #AAC enables monolithic exterior walls without additional insulation. This reduces thermal bridges and improves the energy balance of your buildings. 🌡️🏠 Advantages of monolithic construction with aerated concrete: ➡ Fewer thermal bridges: Thanks to the homogeneous structure of aerated concrete, there are hardly any thermal bridges, which minimizes heat loss and increases energy efficiency. ➡ Energy efficiency: Buildings made of AAC require less heating energy in winter and less cooling energy in summer, resulting in lower energy costs. ➡ Good indoor climate: aerated concrete regulates humidity and contributes to a pleasant and healthy living environment. ➡ High fire safety: Aerated concrete is non-combustible and offers excellent fire protection. Find out more about production plants and planning software from HESS AAC SYSTEMS to make the most of the advantages of this building material.
