Introduction: The following specifications regard the application of thermal insulating panels. Wherever possible, insulating panels should be installed on the exterior walls of the building in order to reduce thermal loss through pillar, beams, floors, etc. The choice of type and thickness of the panels depends on the specific application, in order to achieve the desired "R" value. Therefore, type and characteristics of the thermal insulating panels must be clearly stated each time in the specifications. We recommend the use of fire retardant panels with shaped edges for easy joints. Should the panels be installed inside the building, do not limit the installation to the external walls, but also insulate side walls and ceiling in order to avoid condensation in the corners and on the ceiling. A plastic type finish coating should always be used instead of a rigid (mineral) type. Use white or pastel colors to finish the panels mounted on the exterior walls to reduce possible damage from thermal expansion
