The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of temperature and humidity on external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS), resulting in internal stresses and frost damages as a serious sustainability problem. In order to predict the behavior of ETICS in different weather conditions, a variety of climatic conditions and cycles were composed on the basis of the Estonian statistical data. All coating components of ETICS were tested separately and as a system for dimensional changes using thin layer measurement principles. This study focuses on three types of plasters most commonly used in ETICS – mineral plasters, acrylic plasters with higher flexibility and silicone plasters. As a result of the research, a potential micro-cracking mechanism of ETICS in Northern climate conditions is presented in this paper.
