Hello everyone,
Today I passed by a construction site and noticed that up to a certain height, sloped polystyrene insulation boards (?) were installed against the calcium silicate brick wall. At the edge, a membrane is attached to the masonry, which is then extended up to the facing brick and the facing brickwork continues on top of it. I have also seen cases where mineral wool was packed in all the way down.
Since we will be starting very soon as well, I am curious if there is really a difference between these methods, or if they are just two alternative options.
Here is a photo of it:
