Hello everyone,
We are currently still comparing different construction companies:
- One company builds exclusively with Liapor.
- One company builds exclusively with bricks.
- One company builds with Ytong – the additional cost for bricks is 5,000€.
We are building a KfW55 single-family house with an air-to-water heat pump and a central ventilation system.
I am aware of the pros and cons of each building material, but I wanted to hear your opinions here, possibly also in connection with the ventilation system.
The company that uses Liapor is by far the most expensive, partly due to the building material. However, I really don’t see any added value that would justify the sometimes up to 10,000€ surcharge.
Right now, we are actually considering building with Ytong. We favor a company that uses Ytong as standard; as mentioned, the surcharge for bricks is 5,000€.
We prefer bricks, but the real question is: why? Will I even notice any difference afterward?
My cousin has lived in his Ytong house for four years and has never complained about sound insulation...
What are your thoughts?

A construction company said yesterday that Ytong might not be the best choice in an earthquake-prone area. What do you think? Is there any truth to this? Let me guess, this was a contractor who usually does not work with Ytong?
Basically, it all comes down to the structural design, execution details, and the seismic zone. That’s where the structural engineer comes in and ultimately specifies how it should be built. Which seismic zone are we talking about? Because there are subtle differences, and the load requirements in Germany are quite low compared to other countries.

Well, there are certain building regulations in earthquake-prone areas that must be followed.You have already answered your own question. Have the contractor check if building with Ytong is allowed there, and then it’s settled.In general, you can expect to receive five different opinions from five different people regarding the brick versus Ytong topic. Some swear by Ytong, while others will tell you that the blocks create an oppressive indoor climate. You mentioned knowing someone who built with Ytong. If you feel comfortable there, then you already have your answer.
