External thermal insulation is preferred in buildings of continuous use (residential buildings, hospitals, etc.), in which a constant temperature is desired and the preservation of heat after the heating is turned off is of greater interest. Advantages: ▪️ It exploits the heat capacity of the masonry. ▪️ It maintains the temperature of the space for a long time. ▪️ It reduces the possibility of thermal bridges forming. ▪️ It protects the masonry from changes in external temperature. ▪️ It reduces the risk of moisture formation & condensation. ▪️ It prevents damage from moisture & frost in water pipes. ▪️ It facilitates the formation of strong architectural elements in the building.
