Hello,
suppose you want to build a small garden shed measuring 6m x 4m (and 2.40m (7 ft 10 in) in height – without the roof yet) on an existing base slab using Ytong blocks (Ytong plan blocks 499 x 365 x 249 mm (19.6 x 14.4 x 9.8 inches)) and later install a roller shutter door (2632 x 2405 mm (103.6 x 94.7 inches)) and a window (50 x 100 cm (20 x 39 inches)).
Questions:
- How do I calculate, for example, how much mortar and Ytong blocks I will need? I would have to take into account the thickness of the mortar joints.
- How large should the door and window openings be after building the walls to properly install the door and window? Would it make sense to add about 2-3 cm (1 inch) extra clearance for sealing work?

Ytong is not mortared, Ytong is glued, so it does not add thickness. This has less to do with the type of stone material itself and more with the "plan block" concept, which also applies to sand-lime bricks and others. Anyone who doesn’t immediately recognize from a stone height of 249 mm (9.8 inches) that a bed joint thickness of 1 mm (0.04 inches) is assumed still has a long way to go as a beginner mason. In that case, even a garden shed can already be quite a challenging training project.
