Hello everyone,
I found an older post in the forum; the images no longer work. My question is about whether to place facing bricks on the foundation / frost wall or on the slab.
There are two different approaches, and every general contractor supports one or the other. But
I am wondering how the isothermal line behaves in both cases, as I haven’t been able to find this information so far. Which software is used for this analysis?
We want to build a property close to passive house standards. The base slab will be 200mm (8 inches) thick, with about 30cm (12 inches) of insulation on top, achieving a U-value around 0.11. The masonry used will be a PP4-500 block with a thermal conductivity (lambda value) of 0.12. For the contractor who places the facing bricks directly on the slab’s end face, only a 3-5cm (1-2 inch) insulation panel is installed there, judging by what I saw at another site, see image 2. The foundation itself is not insulated.
I think the standard looks like this, according to Knauf.
Regards,
Sciro

We want to apply clinker bricks onto the plastered 36.5 cm (14.4 inches) Ytong new build without a concrete slab. Is that possible? Simply because a red clinker brick wall looks great.Clinker bricks won't stick properly to plaster. It's better to use thin brick veneers, which can be glued on.

Facing bricks as thin brick slips are applied similarly to tiles and adhere directly to the wall, so they don’t require a supporting ledge. However, plaster underneath doesn’t make sense – I would apply the slips directly onto the bare masonry.
