Reducing heating costs and protecting the climate 

Using the right thermal insulation system enables owners of newly-constructed as well as older buildings to protect the climate, save costs, and increase the value of their property. Our HECK® and Senergy® exterior insulation finishing systems lower energy consumption and are easy to process. Apart from providing insulation, they contain additional layers for the protection and visual enhancement of all kinds of facades.

Town hall in Zary, Poland: Behind the landmarked fassade our exterior insulation finishing system helps to save energy and money.


In an eco-efficiency analysis BASF experts compared several Heck insulation systems with renovation methods that do not provide for thermal insulation. The result: Insulating the outer walls saves heating costs, is environmentally friendly, and is profitable after about ten years. Within the study’s propositions, building owners would be able to reduce their energy requirements for heating from 21 to 13 liters per square meter and year just by insulating the outer walls – an almost 40 percent cost reduction. Carbon dioxide emissions, too, are reduced by about 40 percent.
