ᐅ Aerated concrete blocks or clay blocks for a single-family home

Created on: 9 Jul 2019 19:06

Hello everyone,

I want to build a single-family house in the urban villa style with 165m2 (1778 sq ft).
I plan to use a monolithic wall construction with a wall thickness of at least 40cm (16 inches) because I do not want additional insulation.

Which material is better: aerated concrete or clay block?

What are the advantages and disadvantages?
Which material would you recommend?
Costs?
Thermal insulation?

Thanks, regards Alex

This can also be achieved with a "standard" single-family house.

It is more a matter of belief than facts.

That’s why the often repeated advice is to base the decision more on the installer.

And what if the installer says the type of brick doesn’t matter to them?

Then, for me, the price would be the first factor.

After that, you can start dealing with the personal preferences.

Hello, the developer can use either aerated concrete or Poroton T9 bricks with a thickness of 49cm (19 inches).
Which is better in terms of thermal insulation at 49cm (19 inches)?

It depends on the lambda value (thermal conductivity).

What is the purpose of having 49cm (19 inches) thick castle walls anyway? The additional floor space required for this is greater than that needed for both a guest toilet and a pantry combined.

Well, that’s quite clear and logical, it provides nice wide window sills ;D

Almost everyone building with aerated concrete plus brick veneers here uses 49 cm. 17.5 cm (7 inches) aerated concrete, 18 cm (7 inches) mineral wool insulation, 2 cm (0.8 inches) air gap, 11.5 cm (4.5 inches) brick veneer.

Why? Energy saving regulations stuff and "We’ve been doing it this way for 15 years."
