Achievement of ergonomics in architecture due to the use of façade décor on the basis of mineral wool

The new development of LLC “Ksellma” – light facade decor on the basis of a mineral wool insulant is presented. The decor consists of separate elements formed from mineral wool insulant using the template, and covered with protective and decorative mineral composition. After assembling and fixing the decor elements on the facade according to the project, the connections between them are puttied, the decor is included in the general system of insulation of facades. In addition to decorative and heat-insulating functions, the light decor contributes to improvement of sound insulation and can be used as fire-fighting cuts. The prospects for the use of light decor in the new construction of large-panel houses to create a “warm seam” and increase the architectural expressiveness of the facades, as well as the renovation of five-storey residential buildings of the first mass series are substantiated. These houses have enough resource of physical durability, but absolutely morally outdated. They require thermal-technical modernization, provision of their individuality and visual appeal. The light weight of decorative elements (for example, an element of 200601000 mm weighs 1.8 kg) practically does not load the existing foundations of five-storey houses even reconstructed with the superstructure of additional stories.
