Italian term

colla da cappotto

FVA Italian to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
"Fissati a terra tramite colla da cappotto, i pannelli vengono collegati tra loro anche tramite nastro adesivo alluminato."

The sentence in question concerns a panel-based underfloor heating system. I think "colla da cappotto" is something like "insulated render" but am led to believe that this is generally used externally. Does anyone have any ideas on what the most suitable term might be? Thank you in advance.

If you Google this, the first hit is a product called Silka ThermoCoat 1/3. Google this in turn, and you'll find several possible ways of describing it in English. 'Reinforced mortar' is one.

insulation board glue

This may do it. See, for example, https://www.aliexpress.com/i/1005004292294659.html
Or "adhesive" instead of "glue"

"Cappotto" is and insulation system consisting of attaching layers of insulation to the exterior or interior walls of a building. These insulation layers are held together by a "colla da cappotto" ("insulation board glue").
