Sorry for the typo in the topic. Unfortunately, it cannot be corrected...
Hello everyone,
Initially, we planned to build with Ytong. After a discussion with our architect and energy consultant, we are now leaning more towards Poroton bricks.
The house should achieve at least Eff. 55EE. We definitely want to build without external thermal insulation (ETICS / cladding).
We now have two types of bricks to choose from. Both achieve a U-value of 0.18. The price difference is also almost negligible (difference in the mid three-digit range).
1. S8 in 42.5cm (17 inches)
2. MZ70 in 36.5cm (14 inches) with mineral wool insulation
I have read a lot about the pros and cons of these bricks here. Now I want to compare exactly these two types.
On one hand, I wanted a monolithic wall (a filled brick is not really monolithic), on the other hand, I would prefer a thinner brick with the same U-value.
Are the vertical reinforcements in the S8 brick really so delicate that drilling is difficult?
Are there any homeowners here who have built with either of these bricks?

Danni20209 Oct 2021 22:29We built with 42.5 cm (17 inches) hollow bricks without insulation. We have not experienced any soundproofing issues. However, I can confirm that the internal webs tend to break easily. We had to be careful during the electrical work, but in everyday use, this does not cause any problems...
A lot has already been said. We currently live in a house with walls made of filled bricks (36.5cm (14.4 inches)), and I can’t find much negative about them. However, the craftsmen (especially electricians and possibly plumbers) should know what they are doing to avoid causing havoc during installation. This applies at least equally to hollow bricks as well.

This hasn’t been calculated at all yet. We are still in the planning phase.

So, you’re currently living in a house made of unfilled bricks?
My sister has Wienerberger 36.5 unfilled bricks (I’m not sure exactly which, probably the T10), and it’s very loud inside her house. But I think that’s because she has many smooth surfaces (large windows without curtains, glossy tiles everywhere, large open spaces...).
For the interior walls, we are planning to use calcium silicate blocks for sound insulation (a holdover from the Ytong plan). Should we stick with this or switch to bricks? I’ve read somewhere that red and white bricks shouldn’t be mixed. My planner says that as long as the load-bearing walls remain made of red bricks, everything is fine. Yes... and yes...
Calcium silicate blocks for internal walls really help with sound insulation. The general contractor just needs to know how to handle mixing the materials properly...
