Capoto System: Thermal Comfort

An Efficient Thermal Solution

Capoto, also known as External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) or External Wall Insulation (EWI) in the context of building and construction, refers to a method of insulating the exterior walls of a building.
This insulation technique involves applying a layer of insulating material to the outside walls of a structure, followed by a protective layer of plaster or another type of weather-resistant finish.

In the current housing landscape, energy efficiency and domestic comfort are priorities.
The Capoto System, or ETICS, emerges as an innovative insulation solution. This system goes beyond mere external insulation, redefining comfort and housing efficiency.

Structure and Composition

The system is composed of several layers:

• Adhesive
• Insulation
• Base Layer
• Reinforcement with Fiberglass Mesh
• Primer
• Final Coating

These layers combine to minimize thermal bridges and maximize comfort, allowing for versatile and customizable finishes.

Advantages of the Capoto

• Reduction of Thermal Bridges: Minimizes the need for thick insulation.
• Versatility of Finishes: Offers various styles to suit all tastes.
• Structural Lightness: Relieves the load on the building's structure.
• Long-term Savings: Increases energy efficiency, resulting in significant savings.
• Ideal for Rehabilitation: Revitalizes facades without costly works.

Important Considerations

• Initial Investment: Higher than other solutions, but pays off in the long run.
• Impact Sensitivity: Can be challenging in environments with children or high activity.
