Introduction
Thermal insulation IGK2 represents a paradigm shift from heavy insulating panel systems. Instead of adding thick layers and using plugs, IGK2 is applied as a ready-to-use reinforced skim coat. This article compares traditional methods and shows why IGK2 is the ideal solution.
Differences between traditional coat and IGK2
Traditional coat
- Multiple steps: surface preparation, installation of insulation panels, fixing with anchors, smoothing and finishing.
- It requires specific skills: you need to align the panels and manage the fixings to avoid future problems.
- Additional materials: dowels, screws and glues.
- Long times: 20-30 days to complete the job depending on the surface.
- Noise: Drills are used to drill and fix, causing discomfort for days.
IGK2 by EcoNanoTherm
- Lean steps: mix the can and apply with a spatula like a reinforced smoothing coat.
- No specialization: you just need to know how to apply technical plaster, we’ll explain the rest.
- No additional materials: no plugs or panels needed.
- Halved times: 10-15 days to complete the surface, without interruptions.
- Silence: only a spatula is needed, so the construction site remains cleaner and more discreet.
Eco-friendly product
IGK2 is water-based, breathable and compatible with masonry walls. It does not block the masonry and prevents the formation of mold and condensation. Compared to solvent-based systems, it has a very low environmental impact and removes material with water without toxic residues.
Conclusion: you are not just choosing an insulator. You are choosing a better system.
The final question is not “EPS or IGK2?”. The question is: do you want to be the craftsman who fights every day against the inefficiencies of an obsolete system, or do you want to be the entrepreneur who uses technology to master the process, reduce risks and increase profit?
IGK2 is not a better product. It’s a better system. And in the Canary Islands, where the future of construction is sustainability, efficiency and respect for the customer, the best system is not an option. It’s the only logical choice for those who don’t want to be left behind.
Choose to silence the noise. Choose IGK2.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
How long does it take to apply IGK2?
The times depend on the surface, but are shorter than traditional coats and with fewer steps.
Does IGK2 require specialized personnel?
No. It is applied like a reinforced smoothing compound; normal construction site skills are needed, with simpler procedures.
Is it compatible with traditional walls?
Yes. It is breathable and water-based, therefore suitable for the most common walls.
Does the IGK2 insulation require special maintenance?
No, maintenance is similar to a normal external finish and does not require additional interventions.
