Knallkörper7 Jul 2017 11:42As far as I know, special approved anchors must be used when there is more than 15cm (6 inches) of spacing between the wythes. That is why we have only 14cm (5.5 inches) plus a 1cm (0.4 inch) finger gap.

If you meant the fixation of the glass wool insulation: there will probably be disc anchors (insulation fixings), since it’s difficult to glue it.

This applies regardless of the distance between the layers. However, for distances over 15cm (6 inches), special anchors with an official building approval for the specific application are mandatory. Wire anchors are not allowed. I’m not exactly sure, as I have only seen the version used with 14cm (5.5 inches) insulation and 1cm (0.4 inches) air gap so far.
