ETICS priced
reveals included
Insulation area, but also jambs, lintels and sills: the module computes the linears opening by opening, then their surfaces for the insulation thickness you enter.
The reveal formula applied to every opening, nothing missed, no spreadsheet.
Change the insulation thickness and the reveal surfaces follow instantly.
A multi-layer thermal resistance calculator is included to justify the build-up.
Reveal returns, the blind spot of ETICS pricing
On an external insulation job the plain wall area is easy to estimate. The cost sits in the openings: two jambs, a lintel and a sill per window, each with its own cut of insulation, its profile and its finish. Across twenty openings those linear metres add up to several days of labour nobody priced.
The insulation panel starts from the openings detected on the facade and applies the rule: jambs = height x 2, lintel = width, sill = width. You get linear metres per opening and per type, then the matching surfaces once the thickness is entered. Nothing to retype, nothing to forget.
What the insulation panel gives you
Linears by return type
Jambs, lintels and sills counted separately in linear metres for every opening on the elevation.
Surfaces by thickness
Enter the insulation thickness: every linear metre becomes a cut area to order.
Net plain wall area
The facade minus the openings: the quantity of insulation boards to install, without over-ordering.
Multi-layer R calculation
Stack the layers and their lambdas, read the thermal resistance and the U-value of the build-up.
Exportable detail
The opening-by-opening table exports to Excel and PDF to attach to a quote or a grant application.
Metric or imperial
Every length and area is displayed and exported in the unit system you picked.
ETICS takeoff questions
How are the reveal returns computed?
From the real dimensions of each detected opening: the two jambs are twice the height, the lintel and the sill each equal the width. Those linears are then multiplied by the insulation thickness to give the cut surfaces.
Can some openings be treated differently?
Yes. Every element keeps its type (window, door, balcony, shutter box) and you can exclude or correct it in the editor before recomputing. A garage door with no insulated reveal drops out of the count in one click.
Does the R calculation replace a thermal study?
No. It is a series resistance calculation across the layers, very useful to compare two build-ups in a meeting or sanity-check an order of magnitude, but it does not stand in for a regulatory study signed by a thermal engineer.
