Hello,

Are there any systems where I can combine perimeter insulation with a brick veneer facade? My construction company says that the bricks can only be installed on the strip foundation. However, insulation is planned under the slab and on the outside of the strip foundation. Unfortunately, with this construction method, no insulation can be installed beneath the strip foundation. Do you have any ideas on how to combine brick veneer with continuous perimeter insulation?

Thank you and happy Easter.

This concerns thermal bridges. I assume this is a new build. According to DIN 4108 Sheet 2, these must be implemented considering the usual general surcharge of 5%, or if there are deviations, an equivalence assessment must be carried out.
Whether horizontal insulation below the base plate level is sensible must be determined by the planner based on the driving rain load. If moisture is expected, this construction is likely not very practical.

Hello,

of course, this is a thermal bridge and should be taken into account. We are still in the planning phase and definitely want a brick veneer house. My question was, is there a solution to combine continuous perimeter insulation with a brick veneer?

Why should moisture ruin this construction? Perimeter insulation (extruded polystyrene) is resistant to moisture after all!

What kind of help do you still need? => DIN 4108 Bbl 2!

Hello,

I would prefer cross-sectional drawings showing the construction of perimeter insulation with a brick veneer facade. To me, perimeter insulation means full-surface insulation under the slab. According to my planner, this is not possible because the brick cannot be laid on the insulation. Does anyone have cross-sectional drawings that show the construction details?

Thanks, Fabian
