To increase the aesthetic value of a building, you can choose to place an external finish on HEBEL cladding panels. In addition to this aesthetic value, a finish offers the following advantages:
Greater mechanical strength
The maintenance of a maximum insulation value (the cladding slabs remain dry)
Easy maintenance
Main finish options:·
Paint
Quartz spraying
Steel profile cladding
Timber boarding
Rendering
And others...
When applying paint or quartz spraying, it should be checked that the product used is compatible with the characteristics of HEBEL cellular concrete. A protective layer must, in all cases, be permeable to water vapour. If the protective layer is impermeable to water vapour, water vapour condensation in the external part of the wall will result. In this case, saturation could occur, and the critical moisture level could even be exceeded, which would cause damage due to freezing. This principle applies for most materials.
