Hello everyone,
we are about to buy a house and want to modify the kitchen layout a bit.
This means the non-load-bearing wall (about 6m² (65 sq ft)) will be removed, and a new wall will be rebuilt slightly offset by 1m (3 feet) towards the back.
Part of the kitchen will be installed on one side of this wall, and various electrical outlets, switches, and pictures will be mounted on both sides, depending on the location.
So the question arises: how thick does this wall need to be, and what kind of blocks or bricks should I use, considering that quite a few things will be fixed or mounted on it?
Price is somewhat important, but we don’t want to cut corners in the wrong areas.
Here are some blocks that come to mind:
Silka calcium silicate block 2DF-L 240 mm x 115 mm x 113 mm (9.4 in x 4.5 in x 4.4 in)
Silka calcium silicate block 3DF-L 240 mm x 175 mm x 113 mm (9.4 in x 6.9 in x 4.4 in)
Ytong plan block 599 mm x 199 mm x 175 mm (23.6 in x 7.8 in x 6.9 in)
What would you recommend, or is there a good YouTube video on this topic?
