Traditerm^® Panel Corcho

Technical Caracteristics

Natural cork.

Advantages and Uses

• Traditerm Nature External Thermal Insulation System (ETICS).
• 100% natural and recycled insulation Mechanical stability CO₂ sink (carbon-negative)
• Thermal insulation. Acoustic insulation.
• Highly breathable. Permeable to water vapour. Lightweight and easy to manage.
• Easy to cut.
• Range of thicknesses offering different levels of insulation.

Application Procedure

• The plates are fixed to the substrate using the TRADITERM adhesive mortar, previously applied on it, using the notched trowel method.
• The placement of the plates is done in a staggered pattern (minimum 25 cm gap between the vertical joints of the plates).
• Due to the impossibility of correcting unevenness between panels by sanding, ensuring the flatness of the surface when installing these insulating panels is critical.
• Fasteners should be placed on the panels, with 8 units per m². The upper part of the fastener should be inserted a few mm into the plates. Subsequently, with the help of TRADITERM mortar, the surface on the panel is regularized.
• Before finishing the process cover the plates with TRADITERM mortar, reinforced with a TRADITERM mesh.

Recommendations

• During fixation and rendering with Traditerm mortar, avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
• To fix the panels, apply Traditerm mortar on the panel surface and comb it with a notched trowel. Remove a strip of mortar approximately 2 cm from the edge to prevent the adhesive from overflowing when the panel is pressed onto the substrate. This avoids mortar residues between panels and the formation of thermal bridges.
• When fixing the panels to the substrate, carefully control their flatness.
• Reinforce all panel corners using the designated reinforcement beads for Traditerm Systems (ETICS)
• In areas exposed to impact, strengthen the panels by applying a double layer of Traditerm mesh.
• At window edges and corners of openings, avoid aligning panel joints with these areas to prevent crack formation.
• Reinforce these vertices with 20x40 cm mesh strips placed diagonally and fixed with Traditerm mortar.
