Breakthrough in External Wall Insulation Materials: Performance Advantages of Ceramic Foam Insulation Board-Decorative Integrated Panels

External wall insulation systems are not only suitable for heating buildings in cold northern regions requiring winter thermal insulation but also apply to air-conditioned buildings in southern regions needing summer heat isolation. They are applicable to both new constructions and energy-efficient retrofits of existing buildings. These systems enhance the thermal insulation performance of walls while improving indoor thermal stability. By partially preventing moisture penetration (e.g., rainwater), they boost wall damp-proofing capabilities, effectively avoiding indoor condensation and mold growth, thereby creating a comfortable living environment.

Ⅰ. The most commonly used External wall insulation Materials

External wall insulation systems serve as an essential protective layer for buildings, with diverse material options available. The most commonly used materials include:  

Ⅱ. Innovative new insulation material

Foamed Ceramic Insulation-Decorative Integrated Panels represent a new category of inorganic porous insulation materials. Produced by sintering industrial solid waste (e.g., perlite, ceramic tailings) at 1200°C, they integrate insulation and decorative functions. Compared to traditional materials, they offer the following advantages:  

Performance Breakthroughs

• Fire Safety: A1-grade non-combustibility with a fire resistance limit ≥2 hours, meeting strict architectural fire standards. 

• Thermal Efficiency: Thermal conductivity ≤0.065 W/(m·K) and heat storage coefficient of 1.5 W/(m²·K), reducing building energy consumption by over 25%. 

• Durability: Water absorption <0.5%, withstands 50 freeze-thaw cycles without cracking, and exceeds EPS (5 years) and rock wool (20 years) in lifespan. 

• Sustainability: Utilizes >80% industrial solid waste with zero harmful emissions during production, aligning with green building standards.

Economic & Construction Benefits

• Cost Efficiency: Lightweight for easy transport and installation, eliminating the need for additional waterproofing or fire barriers. 

• Installation Convenience: Dry assembly method reduces panel weight to just 10% of natural stone, avoids on-site processing, improves efficiency by 50%, and cuts labor and time costs.
