Insulation (ETICS)

EPS foam, dowels, adhesive, mesh.

How we calculate it

What you enter

  • Area (m²)
  • EPS thickness (cm)
  • Dowels per m²
  • Adhesive (kg/m²)

Formula

m² per pack = 0.30 × 100 ÷ EPS thickness
EPS packs = ⌈ Area ÷ m² per pack ⌉
anchors = ⌈ Area × Dowels per m² ⌉
adhesive total = Area × Adhesive kg
mesh = Area × 1.10 m²

Example

The default values from the form, run through the same engine:

To buy
40 packs
EPS foam80 m² · 15 cm
Dowels480
Adhesive400 kg
Mesh88 m²

What to watch out for

The number of anchors depends on building height and wind zone — 6 per m² is typical for the ground and first floor. Count mesh with a 10% overlap.
