Hello everyone,
I am getting 36.5cm (14.4 inches) Poroton for the exterior walls. My architect recommends using Poroton for the interior walls as well. However, he can’t really explain the reasoning behind this suggestion. It would be cheaper, though.
I was leaning more towards calcium silicate blocks (no special anchors needed, better sound insulation). What are your thoughts?
Are you in favor of Poroton or calcium silicate blocks? Is calcium silicate really more expensive?

How is it with Poroton?I have aerated concrete blocks on the outside and calcium silicate bricks on the inside.
When I nailed the expanded metal over the slots, the nails kept falling out of the calcium silicate bricks, even when I tried to nail into the mortar joint, some nails bent.
With the aerated concrete, the nail went in with one hit... it holds the metal where it should be. But I wouldn’t hang anything on it...
So my conclusion: both require drilling. One is too hard, the other too soft.
