The
temperatures for outdoor works usually range from +5 to + 25˚C, but
unfortunately autumn and winter in our latitudes is a variable temperature that
goes around 0˚C. Not
everyone knows, but these temperatures do not only affect the air! Also
built-in materials, substrate and mixing water! Temperatures>
5˚ provide very good conditions for binding hydraulic binder, i.e. cement.Of
course, it is possible to carry out work at temperatures <5˚C, but working
at temperatures between 0˚C and 5˚C will result in longer cement setting time
and even a lack of cement. It
will not destroy such a product, the technical properties of the material will
probably be preserved. Unfortunately,
aesthetics probably do not. Working
at low temperatures with traditional materials, in addition to high humidity,
increases the risk of salt efflorescence. Even
included routes, special accessories etc. will not help here. Temperatures
close to 0 ° may cause freezing water, which can lead to material damage.

Dispersion products such
as: paints, ready plaster mixes for proper bonding require a temperature of>
5 ° C, because these materials bind by evaporating water. Work at low temperatures and high
humidity will cause the plaster, the paint does not dry out and with the first
major rainfall will flow with it. Therefore,
you should wait for favorable weather forecasts or use special heaters that
will raise the temperature to the required temperature, but at the same time
increase the costs of such a system.
Rescue of these problems
can be special "winter" products, which enable work in temperatures
from 0˚C to 5˚C and they are not terrible at night temperature drops below 0˚C. They allow you to calmly carry out
works in the autumn and winter. A
new autumn in the KREISEL offer, the TURBO Z-SA system is such a system. The TURBO Z-SA system is intended for
thermo-modernization of existing buildings in both single-family and
multi-family and industrial construction, as well as for thermal insulation of
newly-constructed buildings. Due
to specially developed recipes, it allows you to perform insulation work at
reduced temperatures. The system
includes: winter LEPSTYR Z 211 adhesive mortar, STYRLEP Z 221 winter
adhesive-joining mortar, TYNKOLIT Z-SA winter plastering primer 341, SILIKATYNK
Z 021 winter silicate plaster.
During work with this
system, the outside temperature of the air, the substrate and the material to
be incorporated must not be lower than 0 * C, this temperature must be
maintained for at least 8 hours, after which time the temperature drop below
zero is acceptable.
As a finishing layer, a
special silicate plaster SILIKATYNK Z 021 was used. Thanks to the silification
process, the plaster is chemically combined with a mineral substrate such as
STYRLEP Z 221 mortar, which translates into an extremely durable inter-layer
bonding. This is extremely
important especially in performing work in difficult conditions. SILIKATYNK Z 021 is produced on the
basis of potassium water glass. Silicate
plaster combines the advantages of mineral (vapor-permeability) and acrylic
plaster (high mechanical strength) while removing their defects (efflorescence
on mineral plasters, fouling of acrylic plasters). The contained potassium glass causes
the pH of the solution to increase to 11.3, thanks to which the expedition is
highly resistant to algae, algae, fungi, etc., i.e. biological aggression, as
well as to industrial pollution. These
plasters have high vapor permeability and CO2 permeability, comparable to
mineral plasters. The plaster is
available in three 1.5mm grain thicknesses; 2.0mm
and 3.0mm with textures of lamb and scratched.
But remember that in
addition to high-quality materials, the basic implementation rules are
important, that is: pay attention not to paint or plaster on damp ground (dew)
which often cause the flow of paints and plasters and color differences, do not
incorporate frozen materials, or on wet or frozen substrates. Finally, remember to read each
instruction of use and check whether the product has no possible special
recommendations.
The TURBO Z-SA thermal
insulation system is compliant with PN-EN 13499: 2005 "Thermal insulation
products in construction. Exterior
composite thermal insulation systems (ETICS) with expanded polystyrene.
