6. Restoration of Facade Thermal Insulation Properties

  • Problem: Deteriorated thermal insulation properties of masonry facade due to moisture
  • Solution: Surface treatment with the product Lotupor – physical action that frees the facade from unwanted moisture
  • Principle: Less moisture → better thermal insulation properties
  • Typical objects: All types of masonry facades

7. Repair of External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS)

a) Poor adhesion / detachment

  • Problem: Thermal insulation system is detaching, risk of collapse
  • Solution: Patented retroactive fastening system – permanent fixing of insulation layers, extending service life by decades

b) Insufficient insulation thickness

  • Problem: Current polystyrene thickness does not meet thermal-technical requirements
  • Solution: ETICS revitalisation – installation of an additional polystyrene layer onto the existing insulation layer

CLIMA LINE – For a Pleasant and Healthy Indoor Climate

The Clima line is designed for those who want to improve the indoor climate – regulate moisture, prevent mould and insulate rooms. It consists of three main products.


1. Clima Redboard® Pro – Thin Insulation, Powerful Effect

What is it? Multifunctional board made of modified calcium silicate in an exceptionally high-quality composition. Factory-prepared with a pre-applied primer layer on the inner side.

What can it do?

  • ✅ Regulates indoor humidity
  • ✅ Possesses thermal insulation properties (λ = 0.062 W/mK)
  • ✅ Prevents water vapour condensation
  • ✅ Prevents mould growth
  • ✅ Capillary-active, diffusion-open construction

Energy saving example:

  • Old brick wall 30 cm without insulation: U = 1.38 m²K/W
  • Same wall + Clima Redboard® Pro 5 cm: U = 0.65 m²K/W

Installation instructions:

SECCO LINE – Moisture Remediation: Dry Walls from the Ground Up

Moisture enters walls in various ways: weathering, leaks, condensation, capillary rise from the ground. The Secco line systematically addresses these problems – from horizontal barriers to floor sealing.


Where Does Moisture Come From?

  • 🌧️ From outside – weathering, leaks
  • 🌊 From below – capillary rise in structural elements in contact with the ground
  • 🚿 From inside – showering, cooking, drying laundry + insufficient ventilation

Secco Line Products

Secco Horizontal Barrier (Cream)

Manual pressure-free injection with waterproofing based on micro-silicic acid (silanes + siloxanes). Solvent-free, can be applied to damp masonry. Reliably prevents capillary moisture rise.

Procedure:

  1. Mark drill holes (max. 12 cm centre-to-centre spacing)
  2. Drill holes ∅ 12 mm
  3. Inject cream without pressure

Secco Horizontal Barrier – Rods

A quick and clean alternative to cream. The rods contain hydrophobising silanes and siloxanes – reduce pore diameter and impart hydrophobic properties to the pore walls.

Procedure:

  1. Drill holes ∅ 12 mm
  2. Cut rods to the required length
  3. Insert rods into cleaned holes
  4. Seal with mineral grouting mortar (e.g. Secco Waterproof)

Secco Barrier Render

High-quality mineral grouting mortar – waterproof, salt-insensitive. Applied in the same way as traditional render.

Advantages:

  • Can be applied wet and dry
  • Hybrid primer allows time-independent processing
  • Resistant to water pressure (several metres of water column)

Procedure: Primer FS-Primer → cove formation → manual or mechanical application → sealing → check minimum thickness of 15 mm


Secco Waterproof

Thin, high-performance solution – waterproofing properties from just 10 mm. Frost-resistant, bonds to damp masonry. Suitable for interior and exterior use.


Secco Due (1K Hybrid Mortar)

Single-component hybrid mortar – simple and highly effective for sealing. Depending on the water content, can be used as:

  • paste mortar
  • trowel-applied filler compound
  • grouting paste
  • cavity filler

Ideal for: basements, wet rooms, tanks, concrete and masonry.

Properties: rapid setting, high compressive strength, chemical resistance, salt resistance.


Secco Plinth and Drying Render + Activepor

Microporous material – hydrophobic yet vapour-permeable. Liquid water does not penetrate, water vapour does. Salts do not accumulate in the render → no sacrificial render required.

Activepor is a white, long-lasting alternative to renovation renders – safe, economical, requiring no replacement after years of use.

Procedure: Rough render layer → primer Secco Primer FS → manual or mechanical application → check minimum thickness of 20 mm
