We insulate the facade of a brick house
The fastest and most economical way to insulate a brick house is to insulate it with dense mineral wool blocks with further plastering, using the so-called "wet" method.

Insulation using this method takes a short period of time and the cost of materials is also minimal.
For these purposes, high-density mineral wool slabs with high thermal insulation qualities and low hygroscopicity are used.
The recommended thickness of the insulation on the facades is 10 cm, thinner plates are used to insulate the slopes near the window and door openings.
The insulation can be laid by yourself, without involving specialists, knowing the minimum rules of operation.

Products made of mineral wool should be cut to size with a sharp long knife or saw. When adjusting the insulation, you need to leave a margin of 0.5 cm in the plates and 2 cm in the mats.
Fixing the insulation to the facade
There are two most common wall mounting options.:- rigid and mobile.
Rigid insulation is fixed to the base with glue and a dowel. To achieve good adhesion to the substrate, glue is applied around the perimeter of the insulation, and then beacons are applied (on a plate measuring 100 by 60, approximately 6-8 beacons).
The glue must be applied so that it does not protrude beyond the edges of the plate. Then the plates are fixed with dowels. The thickness of the plaster can be 5-8 mm.
Movable is an option in which the insulation is attached using movable hinges, while compensating for the load on the walls. The recommended plaster layer is at least 30 mm.

Some installation tips
The facade must be protected from precipitation until the reinforced layer hardens.;
All installation work should be carried out in autumn or spring, at a temperature not lower than + 3, which affects the quality of the plaster.
It is recommended to glue the insulation plates in a staggered pattern (with a vertical ligation of 10 cm), which will protect the finish coating from cracks.
The plates are pressed tightly together, the gaps between them are eliminated, and, if necessary, they are filled with pieces of insulation.
The insulation is pasted on the outer corner with an allowance, and a day later, after drying, the excess insulation is cut off with a sharp knife.
