ᐅ New construction left without insulation and without exterior plaster/render through the winter?

Created on: 8 Dec 2020 20:25

Hello,

I would like to hear your opinion and experience on this topic.
What are the disadvantages or negative aspects of moving into a newly built house in winter if the exterior is left uninsulated and without exterior plaster?

Apart from the heating costs 😀 although our German winters here in the north are not what they used to be :S

Does this also affect the interior plaster? For example, if there is still residual moisture inside or similar issues.

Thanks in advance for your answers

I wouldn’t do that either. I see the problem more with the thermal bridges. The concrete slabs are exposed at the edges – this causes moisture inside, leads to mold, and if there is fleece or wallpaper, it will peel off again.

Why don’t you do the insulation and plastering at the same time?

That is planned as well.
But since next year might be tight schedule-wise and I want to do almost everything myself, I wanted to know if it’s possible for the house to remain "bare" over the winter.

If nothing is built yet – plan and coordinate more carefully. The "emergency" approach is feasible but results in additional costs for winter-proofing measures and significantly higher heating expenses in the four-digit range.

So in conclusion: It’s better to insulate and plaster everything before winter arrives.

I can only agree with Nida...

Moving onto a construction site is not doing yourself any favors...
