Hello Forum,
We are planning a new building using calcium silicate blocks plus an external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS).
I’m sure many of you are familiar with the critical videos about ETICS on YouTube. Yesterday, I watched this one:

High-level experts and former employees of ETICS companies confirm the issues within the industry here.
This perspective can unsettle a layperson. However, in my opinion, the research and analysis were thorough.
I understand that ETICS has been around for many years. In all these videos, it’s only criticized.
But no one explains how to build properly in this context.
In your opinion, is there some truth to this? Or is ETICS just highly rated because of lobbying?
Regards,
Confused layperson

Hi,
I’m curious: how do you come to only 800 EUR extra for the material? A quick check shows around 13 EUR per square meter for 160mm (6.3 inches) EPS, while mineral wool costs about 29 EUR per square meter. Then there are the anchors needed for the mineral wool. Even the ribbed boards, which probably don’t require anchors, are still around 26 EUR per square meter.
Do you have so little exterior wall area? We estimate roughly 200 square meters (2150 square feet) of exterior wall, and the plasterer quoted an additional cost of about 40 EUR per square meter. That settled the matter pretty quickly...
Best regards,
Andreas

Mineral wool has a positive effect – that’s what we are currently planning for. The additional material cost for the entire house compared to EPS is 800 EUR, which is quite manageable.

@toxicmolotow
In the cost comparison, "topcoat plaster" appears for both options. I’m not exactly sure how it is applied in detail.
@andimann
That’s the price information we received. I don’t have the quantities and price per square meter at hand right now, but the surcharge per square meter was reasonable and not in the "double the price" range.
