Hello everyone,

After this year’s hot summer, the topic of “summer thermal protection” has become increasingly important in our house planning. We were recommended a build with T10 bricks, as they are supposedly much better at providing summer thermal protection than the “newer” highly insulating hollow and solid bricks.

However, aside from this statement, I cannot find any real specifications. On the website of a relevant manufacturer, perlite-filled bricks are even advertised as having good summer thermal protection.

So, what is the truth here, and which type of brick would you choose regarding summer thermal protection?

Best regards,

Personally, I would prioritize effective shading for summer heat protection over choosing one brick type or another.
