Abstract—Work on thermal insulation of outer structures of
buildings is an issue that is often closely associated with
moisture sanitation and recovery / sanitation of the damaged
layers of outer surface conditioning. In the case of historic
buildings or in the case of sanitation aimed at a part of the outer
structure only, it is not possible to apply conventional external
thermal contact insulation systems (ETICS). Regarding these
cases, there is an effective way consisting in application of
thermal insulation plasters with high porosity and regulated
capillary properties which ensure improvement of thermal and
technical properties of the structure, its diffusion openness
towards the outside environment. In case of appropriate
conditioning of the capillary properties, it can prevent liquid
moisture and salt from penetrating toward the outer surface of
the structure.
The paper describes the results of research that is oriented
toward the development of ultra-light thermal insulation
plasters on silicate base, which can be due to high porosity and
good stability at elevated humidity used for applications with
higher moisture load too.
Index Terms—Historical objects, sanitation, thermal
insulating plasters, thermal technical properties.
