Cleaning ETICS Facades with the Vacuum Blasting Method
An ETICS facade (External Thermal Insulation Composite System) ensures high energy efficiency – but to maintain its appearance and protective function over the long term, regular maintenance is essential. Cleaning ETICS facades is generally more demanding than cleaning many other facade types, as the surface can react more sensitively. This makes a gentle yet thorough cleaning method all the more important.
Why Clean ETICS Facades Regularly?
Like any exterior facade, ETICS facades are constantly exposed to weather, dust, and environmental influences. How often cleaning is advisable depends primarily on local conditions:
- Heavily trafficked roads: Exhaust fumes and fine dust accumulate more quickly.
- Proximity to water, wetlands, or shaded areas: Higher moisture levels promote dirt buildup and biological growth.
- Dry regions without heavy exhaust pollution: Cleaning intervals are usually longer here.
Especially in highly exposed locations, having your ETICS facade cleaned before dirt becomes deeply embedded helps preserve its appearance and prevent consequential damage.
Cleaning ETICS Facades – Simple and Gentle
No matter where your building is located: systeco cleaning systems create optimal conditions for cleaning ETICS facades – thoroughly, flexibly, and easy to use.
The key advantage: Tornado ACS cleaning technology works
- without high pressure,
- without water,
- without chemicals,
thereby protecting the surface from unnecessary stress.
Cleaning ETICS Facades with the Vacuum Blasting Process
The vacuum blasting process operates with negative pressure: contaminants are loosened directly at the facade surface and simultaneously extracted. This ensures that deposits – even stubborn dirt – are removed completely. Even graffiti is no challenge for systeco’s cleaning machines.
Your Benefits at a Glance:
- Gentle cleaning of sensitive ETICS surfaces
- No water, no chemicals, no high pressure
- Clean operation thanks to negative pressure/extraction
- Versatile application – independent of location

Useful Information About ETICS Facades
The first External Thermal Insulation Composite System (ETICS) was installed in Berlin in 1957 – at that time using rigid polystyrene foam as insulation material. Since then, the technology has evolved significantly: ETICS solutions have been continuously improved and today represent an effective, energy-saving insulation system for exterior building walls.
The results are visible everywhere: for decades, countless buildings throughout Germany have been constructed with ETICS facades. Because these facades are designed to provide long-term protection while maintaining an attractive appearance, cleaning ETICS facades remains a highly relevant topic today.
