Hello experts,
I’m new here and really excited to have found this site. We plan to build next year and are still in the planning phase. The following points are very important to me for the build.
- Solid construction with Poroton (36.5 cm (14.4 inches) exterior wall)
- Without ETICS (external thermal insulation composite system)
- KfW 70 standard
- Air-to-water heat pump
- Underfloor heating
- Triple-glazed windows
I want to build with Poroton, but I already have some doubts. I’ve read a lot about filled Poroton bricks like T7, T8, T9, and Unipor Coriso WS08. My question is whether I could also use an unfilled Poroton brick, such as Unipor WS09 or T9 plan bricks. I contacted Wienerberger to ask which bricks would be suitable. They said that the filled bricks are good, but if unfilled and without external insulation, then the T9 plan bricks (36.5 cm (14.4 inches)) would be recommended.
Is this suitable for a KfW 70 house, and does anyone here have experience with this? Alternatively, I would consider using the filled bricks, but I’m not sure about the practical experience with those, especially combined with perlite or mineral wool.
Thank you very much for your answers.

Above all, red is used in construction because it suggests warmth – it appeals to the subconscious.No, above all, white is used because it makes spaces look bigger... red feels quite oppressive in that context....
I really want to build with bricks or Poroton. I’d also like to avoid external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS), but I’m still open on that.Then be more open-minded.
Seriously, write down all the points you can think of against ETICS. Then cross out the ones based only on gut feeling. Next to that, list everything against monolithic construction. I bet ETICS won’t look so bad once you understand what’s really behind phrases like “breathable walls,” “special waste,” etc. (which actually mean very little…).
Otherwise, meeting the KfW70 standard should also be achievable with a T9 brick... it also depends a lot on windows, heating, roof, building services, and so on...

The rooms only actually seem bigger once the plaster is applied, meaning the rooms are actually smaller.

No, mainly buildings are done in “white” because it makes the rooms look bigger... red feels quite oppressive there...

You haven’t experienced a aerated concrete building yet, right?We have been inside several shell structures, both in red clay brick and aerated concrete... at the moment, I’m actually inside a "red" one ^^ (okay, the ceiling/floor is gray).
With the aerated concrete buildings, we rarely had the feeling of "oh no, poor kids… you can’t even fit a bed in here," but with the red clay brick ones, that feeling was more common ^^
Especially when there are no interior walls or ceilings yet, you often want to add a few more meters (feet).
