Hello everyone,
I have already read a lot about the mentioned topic. Unfortunately, most of the information referred to the optimal options for new construction: single-layer, double-layer, T8, and so on.
But what about when a masonry wall (T14 30cm (12 inches)) already exists? I understand that applying an external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) on smooth concrete blocks is not ideal. The question is how, and what type of insulation can be added to this existing wall? The requirements are a total thickness of less than 20cm (8 inches) and no plaster finish.
Best regards

like Euro, I don’t understand that statement either. And why no plaster on the ETICS?
Is some kind of cladding planned?
There are so many insulation materials suitable for this.

Hello,
thank you for the responses. I was away, so I’m only able to reply now.
There are many opinions regarding ETICS (external thermal insulation composite systems) on Poroton T14 blocks. From what I have read, it is often discouraged. I can’t say why, but maybe you can provide some insight.
For aesthetic reasons, brick slips are planned to be installed. Full facing bricks are not an option due to their thickness. Would there be a dew point problem? The brick slips are not exactly vapor-permeable.

Thank you €uro,
since I have not been able to find any explanations so far, I was hoping to get some help here.
Which insulation materials should be used to extend the existing wall? And how can facing bricks (or brick slips) be applied? I will also consult an advisor soon, but I think it’s better to already be familiar with the subject.
Best regards
