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

In our neighborhood, there is a large “new build” that wasn’t plastered for several years... during that time, it was considered unfinished. However, the young family lived in it. The masonry (Poroton or similar) didn’t look weathered or damp at all. It has been nicely plastered for three weeks now.

And in our town, there is a house that has remained unplastered for 22 years. Supposedly, no contractor is willing to take on plastering this house after so many years because the plaster might not adhere properly.

A couple of years without exterior plaster is standard.

In the past, it was quite common for a house not to be plastered during the first year so that it could dry out properly.

If you are already using sand-lime bricks indoors, why not use them on the exterior as well? Since you will be applying insulation anyway.
