 General Remarks for
planning and handling
Planning The structural requirements of existing
and new buildings must be matched
with the requirements of the ETICS. Co-
ordination of eventual preliminary tasks
is to be settled with construction
management.
For all connections and details definite
and realizable finishing information is
mandatory.
Sandwiching of existing ETIC systems is
possible in accordance with building
inspection approval Z-33.49-1183.
Facade insulation should begin at least
20 cm below basement ceiling to avoid
thermic losses via basement ceiling.
Optimal would be to install an
additional plinth insulation.
To fasten components to the ETIC system
the appropriate mounting elements must
be taken into account.
Existent structural expansion joints are to
be realized in the ETICS as well.
Preparatory Interior plaster and screed must be
measures poured, applied and dried. If required,
appropriate measures have to be taken
for drying. Cause for ascending humidi-
ty must be remedied.
All horizontal coverings, e.g. window
sills and roof closures must be installed
prior to beginning with insulation
procedures.
Levelness of substrate must accord to
DIN 18202. Minor unevenness of the
surface can be compensated for with
the adhesives. The substrate condition
must be examined by the processor
before beginning with insulation
measures.
3
When using EPS panels with thickness > Fire prevention
100 mm all lintels must be insulated with measures
mineral wool panels of at least 20 cm
width for reasons of fire safety (see
detail planning 3.5.1, 3.5.2).
For EPS insulation panels with thickness
> 100 mm up to max. 300 mm mineral
wool lintels may be omitted if for at least
every second floor a horizontal
circumferential fire barrier is installed.
The fire barrier must be realized with a
20 cm wide mineral wool insulation
band which is fully bonded and
additionally dowelled. The distance bet-
ween lower edge of lintel and lower
edge of fire barrier may not exceed
0.50 m. (see detail plan 3.5.3)
Abutments between cladding and ETIC Windows
must be realized rain- and windproof. In
accordance with RAL guidelines all
required sealing foils for mounting
windows must be applied in the interior.
The surfaces of sealing foils applied
from the outside must be bondable as
any other foils impair functionality of
insulation panels.
Installation of roller shutter boxes into an
ETICS with EPS-Panels is to be evaluated
individually.
Only closed systems may be installed. Systems
Mixed systems with components of other
systems are not permissible and void
manufacturer’s warranty.
Processing Close expansion joints between
insulation panels with insulation material
strips. For further information see the Ge-
neral Construction Approvals.
Trim height differences between
insulation panels. Remove grinding dust
completely.
No expansion joints of insulation panels
over structure joints. For joints between
e.g. 3-layer panels or cracks a
displacement of approx. 20 cm is
advisable.
Fill cavities under ledges with insulating
material.
All connecting joints and penetrations of
the ETICS are implemented driving rain
proof with KEIM joint sealing tape. The
reinforcement layers and finishing
plaster are to be separated from
adjacent components by a trowel cut or
suitable plaster parting strips.
Dowelling For suitable substrates systems with EPS
panels may be realized fully bonded.
Structural dowelling is implemented with
e.g. 8 concrete dowels / m².
Systems with mineral wool lamellae may
be fully bonded to suitable surfaces for
maximum expected wind suction loads
of 1.6 kN/m². Surfaces not suitable for
full bonding additionally require
generally approved dowels with
140mm plates.
Decision for type of dowel use depends
upon the choice of ETIC system and wall
material. The length of the dowel is
mandated by anchoring depth,
thickness of insulation panels, thickness
of existing plaster and thickness of
adhesive layer.
Dowelling of insulation panels is
performed underneath the fabric after
sufficient drying of adhesives. For the
Keramik-MW system (Ceramic)
dowelling is performed through the
fabric.
Facades exposed to high pressure or Shock-resistant ETICS
mechanical stress, e.g. in playing areas,
may be additionally reinforced with
KEIM Panzergittermatte (Armoured wire
mesh) or KEIM TEC-Platten (Panels).
During the whole processing and drying Processing
duration the air and substrate temperatu- conditions
res must be at least +5°C. For KEIM
Indusil the minimum temperature starts at
+ 8° C.
EPS panels are to be protected from sun,
and mineral wool and Multipor insula-
tion panels from moisture. A suitable
measure for that would be to cover the
scaffolding.
The reinforcement layer must have
completely set before application of
finishing plaster. Drying time depends
upon weather conditions. To avoid
visible transitions enough processors are
required per scaffolding layer. The
finishing coat is applied wet in wet.
Larger areas should be adequately
partitioned to permit uninterrupted
application. Observe weather
conditions.
Due to environmental influence mineral
and silicate plaster may dry cloudy. This
is no technical defect and represents no
reason for warranty. For visual reasons
therefore at least one application of
KEIM Egalisationsfarbe (Equalising
paint) is required. For high quality finish
a two-coat application of KEIM Soldalit
is recommended. For AquaROYAL-
System a two-coat finish of AquaROYAL-
Color is compulsory.

 KEIM Rail systems
With these systems the insulation panels
are fastened with fastening strips. This
applies to panels of EPS and mineral
wool. For proof of stability the rails must
be mounted with officially approved
collared dowels. Choice of dowel type
depends upon wall material. Substrate
must be dry, stable, dust- and oil-free.
Unevenness of up to 3 cm/m of the
substrate can be compensated for with
spacers.

 KEIM perimeter and plinth insulation:
Effective protection against thermal bridges
KEIM perimeter and plinth insulation
are a sensible enhancement of KEIM
ETIC systems. Thermal bridges in
height of the basement ceiling are
prevented and building structures are
effectively protected from the
beginning.
General remarks If ETICS are used and mounted in areas
close to the plinth or having ground
contact mechanical and humidity-
related stress-effects must be observed.
Structural waterproofing must be
ensured by sealing according to DIN
18 195. In accordance with DIN 18
195 all enclosing walls of a building
having ground contact must be sealed
against ingress of moisture. The vertical
seal is implemented from the foundation
up to the top of the horizontal seal, at
least 30 cm above ground level.
Surfaces to be sealed must be dry,
clean, stable, and level (see DIN 18
202). Expansion joints of the building
are to be implemented in plinth- and
perimeter-insulation. Precipitated water
must be diverted away from the facade
by structural measures. These are
commonly a gravel layer or anti-
capillary layer. Pavement or stones must
be implemented structurally separate
from the building and with sufficient
downward slope away from the
building.
Plinth recess It is possible to implement a plinth
recess. A baseboard is installed
between plinth and facade insulation.
The joint between plinth insulation panel
and baseboard is implemented with
KEIM Fugendichtband (Joint sealing
tape)
15
The joint between plinth insulation panel Flush-mounted
and facade insulation panel is plinth and
reinforced with an additional strip KEIM facade insulation
Glasfaser-Gittermatte (Glass fibre mesh).
The reinforcement layer ends maximal Moisture protection
20 cm below ground level. After drying
of the finish coat in contact with the
ground is completed an appropriate
moisture protection is installed which
reaches down to the uncoated perimeter
insulation panels (see detail plan 7.2.3).
A damage protection to be put in front
of the panels below ground has to be
provided on site, e.g. a dimpled
sheeting.
KEIM Perimeter insulation
Perimeter insulation designates all
insulation below ground surface level.
Perimeter insulation is installed on the
outside of the respective constructive
element outside of structural
waterproofing (see detail plan 7.2.2).
In areas with pressing water and within
the capillary fringe into groundwater
perimeter insulation panels must not
be used.
Due to the special demands under
ground level the perimeter insulation
panel has a general approval by the
building supervisory authorities.
Perimeterdämmplatten-SA or -Plus Glueing
(Perimeter insulation panels) are used.
KEIM Indulastic is used for glueing.
Glue is applied in 6 lumps to the
insulation panel. Glueing of panels is
performed seamlessly from bottom to
top.
Under ground level reinforcement is not Reinforcement
required.
 KEIM Plinth insulation
The plinth zone begins with ground level
and has a height of at least 30 cm. Due
to splash water and higher mechanical
loads perimeter insulation panels are
used which may also minimally invade
the soil level (see detail planning 7.2.1).
Insulation panels crossing ground-level
are bevelled-cut and covered to the
substrate with the armouring layer.
Glueing The insulation panels are tightly joined
avoiding joints and glued using the
bead-point method with KEIM Pulverkle-
ber-90 on mineral substrates and with
KEIM Indulastic on organic substrates.
Dowelling Insulation panels above ground level
have to be dowelled if necessary. If so,
the structural sealing must not be
damaged up to 15 cm above ground
level.
KEIM Glasfaser-Gittermatte (Glass fibre Reinforcement
mesh) is embedded in KEIM Pulverkle-
ber-90 (Powder adhesive). To increase
pressure resistance KEIM Panzergitter-
matte (Armoured wire mesh) can be
used.
KEIM finish plasters together with KEIM Final finish above
paint systems provide a creative design ground level
for the plinth.
After drying of plaster adequate Moisture protection
moisture protection is applied up to 5
cm above ground, e.g. KEIM Indulastic,
which must continue underground until
reaching the structural waterproofing.
As protection against damage e.g. a
corrugated plastic foil is required as
next layer.

All wall constructions were calculated with 1.5 cm interior plaster and 2 cm exterior plaster.
Actual insulation thickness depends upon the requirements of energy saving guidelines,
heat transfer properties of insulation and existing or planned wall construction.

For technically correct implementation of ETIC systems the manufacturer's specifications and contents of applicable approvals by building
supervisory authorities are binding. This processing guideline illustrates the most essential steps and procedures.
Additionally, the respective currently valid technical data sheets and package imprints apply.
