Dedicated exclusively to components for ETICS systems. At 2RF you'll find profiles, dowels, fibreglass mesh, tools and professional machines for use in external thermal insulation systems.

European-certified technical components, available at more than 600 retail outlets in mainland Portugal, the Azores and Madeira.

Why 2RF?

Insulation solves the thermal problem.
The complements determine the durability of the solution.

Starter profiles that do not protect the base against humidity. Undersized bushes. Nets with insufficient weight. Joints omitted on large façades. None of these faults are visible after cladding. They all become apparent in the first few years of the system's life, and the cost of correcting them is always higher than if the specification was correct at the start.

2RF specialises in the technical components that structure insulation and finishing, the invisible elements that determine long-term performance.

ETICS or capoto?

A composite system
where each layer depends on the previous one.

The ETICS system, known in Portugal as capoto, insulates the façade from the outside with a sequence of layers: insulation, mechanical fixing, a base layer reinforced with fibreglass mesh and finishing. Application from the outside eliminates thermal bridges and guarantees insulation continuity throughout the entire envelope.

It is precisely this continuity that makes the selection of complementary components crucial. Profiles, fixings and reinforcements work at the points where continuity is most difficult to guarantee, and where most pathologies originate.

System Performance

The system's performance depends on each of its components

Energy efficiency

Continuous insulation from the outside reduces heat loss through the envelope. Savings on air conditioning are between 30% and 40%, with a return on investment of typically less than 10 years.

Elimination of thermal bridges

Thermal bridges, such as discontinuities in pillars, beams and shutter boxes, are responsible for significant losses and the appearance of condensation. ETICS eliminates this problem by wrapping the entire façade in a seamless insulating layer.

Long-term structural protection

By positioning the insulation on the outside, the system protects the structure from daily and seasonal thermal amplitudes. Correctly specified and applied systems have a proven durability of over 30 years.

System Performance

20 years dedicated to ETICS

Since 2005, 2RF has been dedicated to supplying professionals in the sector with all the components needed for an excellent application of ETICS systems. It selects, imports and distributes all the technical components that stand between the insulation and the cladding: profiles, fixings, nets and professional equipment. The layer where the durability of the system is decided.

Partnerships with European manufacturers such as Klimas, Kubala, Collomix or Rokamat ensure certified quality and compliance with European technical standards throughout the range. The experience accumulated since 2005, including years of direct application on site, guides the selection of each product offered.

Since 2017 it has been honoured with PME Líder and PME Excelência status by IAPMEI.

Components for ETICS systems

Complete range of technical components for all application phases.

Profiles and trims

The profiles ensure that the system is started, finished and protected at unique points on the façade. Start profiles, corner profiles with mesh, louvres, expansion joints and technical profiles. Aluminium and PVC, eco, standard and premium ranges.

Fixing and anchoring

The mechanical fixing plugs complement the gluing of the insulation, guaranteeing long-term stability. Selection by type of support (concrete, brick, block) and insulation thickness. Versions with plastic and steel nails.

Frame and reinforcement

The glass fibre mesh gives the base layer mechanical strength and prevents cracking. The weight and anti-alkali treatment determine the durability of the reinforcement. 160 g/m² nets for standard applications and higher grammage options for impact zones.

Waterproofing

Protection of the areas most exposed to water: façade bases, balconies, platbands and transitions between materials. Membranes, deformable strips, pre-formed corners and waterproofing accessories.

Complements and accessories

Ventilation, Painting and Miscellaneous

Range of complementary accessories for the building site.

Ventilation solutions for façades, painting and protection articles, and various accessories for fixing and finishing.

Professional Equipment

Machines, Tools and Accessories

Equipment for all application phases. Tools for ETICS, drywall and ceramic tiling. Professional spraying and mixing machines from the Collomix and Rokamat brands.

An integrated system,
lasting results.

The performance of the ETICS system depends on the correct specification of all its components. Insulation, fixing, reinforcement and finishing work as a whole.

2RF provides technical information, catalogues and application guides to support each specification decision.
