In modern construction projects, exterior facade insulation (jacketing) is one of the items that strains the budget the most in terms of both materials and workmanship. Synthetic foam layers such as EPS/XPS applied over traditional brick or aerated concrete extend the construction period while multiplying scaffolding costs. The innovative building brand of the Ertaş Group, Blok Bims, offers a "single-layer solution" on exterior facades thanks to its volcanic structure with high insulation value, saving your projects from heavy jacketing expenses and waste of time.
A Lifetime Thermal Barrier Instead of EPS and XPS
Synthetic jacketing materials are affected by weather conditions over time; they lose their insulation values due to the sun's UV rays, freeze-thaw cycles, and physical damage from birds or rodents. Blok Bims, on the other hand, transforms the exterior wall itself into a massive heat shield thanks to the millions of micro air voids in the natural volcanic pumice in its raw material. When thick insulated pumice blocks are used on the exterior facade, the building easily meets TS 825 (Thermal Insulation Rules in Buildings) standards without the need for an additional jacketing layer. The insulation life of your wall becomes equivalent to the life of your building.
Safe and Breathable Buildings Against Facade Fires
It is a known fact that plastic-derived jacketing materials wrap buildings like a nylon bag, preventing them from breathing, and causing flames to rapidly engulf the entire building in facade fires. Blok Bims allows buildings to breathe with its porous structure that can expel interior moisture, preventing sweating and mold formation. Moreover, with its A1 class non-combustible structure, it makes the spread of flames impossible in a possible exterior fire. This natural facade solution secures both your budget and the health of the building residents.
Why Choose Blok Bims in Exterior Facade Projects?
- Zero Jacketing Cost: Single-layer masonry that provides massive budget savings by eliminating the need for extra adhesive, dowels, mesh, plaster, and XPS/EPS foam layers.
- Shortened Construction Site Time: The opportunity to deliver the project much earlier than planned by canceling the scaffolding periods that take weeks for the jacketing process and multiple workmanship stages.
- Long-Lasting Investment: Volcanic durability that does not require shedding or renewal after 10-15 years like synthetic materials, and does not lose its thermal insulation performance as long as the building stands.
To get rid of unnecessary layers, hidden costs, and prolonged construction times in your projects, build your exterior facades with Blok Bims. Bring the permanent insulation power of nature to your buildings with the vision of the Ertaş Group.
