The system of thermal insulation of buildings BSO (jointless thermal insulation system), ETICS (external thermal insulation composite system) popularly known as the "light-wet" method - with the use of thermal claddings such as Styrofoam and mineral wool - is the most common and still - in terms of economy - the most attractive method of insulating external walls.
Bella Plast has been a leader in the production of trims and finishing profiles for thermal insulation systems for over 25 years.
Comprehensive finishing of each edge of the facade
Bella Plast's finishing profiles ensure technically correct termination and fusion of the layers of the system at the edge, i.e. the area where all the layers of the system end: thermal facing, glass mesh, adhesive and plaster. The profile is designed to securely weld these layers together, without the possibility of delamination in the future. Otherwise, any edge, devoid of the Bella Plast finishing profile, will be the place - where, as a result of weathering, the destruction of the facade will begin. This process can be extremely violent, sometimes one season is enough for cracks and damage to the plaster structure to appear.

Therefore, it is worth taking care of the proper selection of profiles and thus ensure the durability of the thermal insulation facade for many years and increase its aesthetic and design values.
The basic edges in the BSO elevation include: the joint between the plaster and the window frame - here we use expansion joint strips (BP13 series), any elements (shapes) protruding outside the elevation such as a balcony, terrace or bay window. Balcony, terrace, oriel, or most commonly: the lower end of the facade over a receding plinth - here we install drip caps (BP14 series), then any corners: around windows, doors, or the corner of the building - here we use reinforcing angles (BP10 series) and more specialized profiles: system expansion joint (BP15) or (BP16 angle) at the location of the course of the division of buildings (set on separate footings) or when the horizontal span of the facade exceeds 15 m). And many, many others, including decorative rustication strips (BP11),decorative imitation sheet metal "on the seam" (BP19 - NEW) or finishing facade strips (BP22) used at the border of the change of plaster grain and/or its color.
