ᐅ 24 cm Ytong blocks plus insulation or 36.5 cm Ytong blocks

Created on: 28 Feb 2017 19:32

Hello,

As mentioned in the title, we are building with Ytong to achieve KfW55 standard.

Now our construction company has offered to build with 36.5 cm (14 inches) Ytong blocks instead of 24 cm (9.5 inches) Ytong plus 12 cm (5 inches) of full thermal insulation.

Advantages according to the construction company:
1. All values for KfW55 are met just the same.
2. Fastenings on the exterior wall, e.g. satellite dish, awning, etc., would be much easier to install because it’s solid masonry directly, without soft insulation.
3. Our site manager considers the insulation a sort of "hazardous waste" from his point of view, as its production and disposal are quite energy-intensive...

Disadvantages: none?? Price-wise it would make no difference for us.

What do you think?

Especially point 2 appeals to me...
Point 3 is just a personal opinion and therefore secondary for now.

Thanks and best regards to everyone!

ETICS is what happens when misery builds a home.

I have experienced woodpeckers both at our multi-family house and the office building where I work. They were great spotted woodpeckers. I have even chased them away myself using a garden hose.

Woodpeckers are not only found in forests. It might also depend on the region in Germany.

That's true: woodpeckers don’t have a philosophical concept of a "forest" like we do; a park-like group of trees may be enough for them. I have no idea how well they can see or smell, or how they "recognize" a (potential) tree. I’ve certainly missed some nature documentaries and programs like "Löwenzahn" and others. If they find something that, for reasons beyond our understanding, counts as a tree to them and meets their expectations for a hollow sound, they will peck there—even if it’s part of a house. But where there is truly nothing resembling a forest, even with all charity applied, a woodpecker will rarely stray, in my opinion.

And what if it’s a WDVS woodpecker mutation that suddenly appears from generation to generation as nature’s playful experiment, according to Darwin? Haha

Then we’ll have Godzilla fly in, and those creatures will be history.

Godzilla and the invasion of the woodpeckers... feathers flying everywhere, blood flowing, styrofoam spraying—what a movie that would make! Oh, a blockbuster in Dolby sound.
