- Thermal insulation systems are an essential part of new as well as reconstructed buildings in the aim to reduce their heat use to achieve the criteria of EU energy policy to 2020[1]. The systematic integration of the additional thermal insulation systems in the building envelopes in Slovakia began in year 1992. Nowadays architects commonly design thermal insulation with thickness about 120 mm. Predictions of EAE (European Association for External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems) for year 2021 shows, that, the requirements for thickness of thermal insulation of wall claddings will exceed 210 mm. Recent trend on requirements on building envelope may lead to additional insulating of already insulated walls. In Slovakia, around 52% of flats in dwelling houses and 33% of family houses were thermally insulated before year 2011. The most of buildings in Slovakia were insulated by all kinds of External Thermal Composite Systems (ETICS). In European Union (EU), towards the end of year 2011, there were about 358 valid European technical approvals (ETA) for ETICS producers, from which about 45 ETA were and 22 Technical certificate (TO) were registered in Slovakia. Majority of the systems here are based on EPS (expanded polystyrene) [2], which have a strong impact on the sound insulation of the wall claddings. In some cases, even decreasing of the facade sound insulation properties is very evident.
