Exterior insulation forms a continuous thermal layer on the outside of the wall assembly, significantly reducing heat loss and limiting thermal bridging through framing. When combined with an air barrier such as SOPRASEAL STICK VP, the system improves airtightness, stabilises indoor temperatures, and supports compliance with H1 Energy Efficiency requirements.
Equus offers two primary insulation options for exterior wall applications: SOPRAROCK M mineral wool and rigid PIR insulation. SOPRAROCK M is a stone wool board designed specifically for exterior wall systems, providing thermal resistance, fire performance, dimensional stability, and acoustic benefits. PIR insulation is a lightweight, high-R-value alternative where thinner, more cost-effective wall build-ups are required.
Both options contribute to moisture management by positioning the insulation outside the structure, reducing the risk of condensation within the wall cavity and adding a protective layer to the overall building envelope.
