Hello everyone, I finally want to build on my plot and have shortlisted four homebuilders – but I’m struggling to decide because each has their own philosophy about the ideal wall construction.
Poroton brick, insulation, plaster, plus triple glazing
----------------------------------------------------------------
Probably a classic nowadays. The house is completely airtight. The walls cannot “breathe,” so moisture from inside the house cannot escape. A ventilation system is therefore mandatory.
Brick, mineral wool, air gap, brick facade, plus triple glazing
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Walls are somewhat more “breathable,” but the companies still recommend a ventilation system.
36.5 cm (14.4 inches) Wienerberger thermal brick, plaster, no additional insulation, plus double glazing
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The “Mercedes” among bricks, no additional insulation needed, walls can breathe, triple glazing is not necessary.
So, which company is actually right and offers the perfect wall?
-------------------------
I have removed the names of the providers because otherwise I would have had to move the post into the moderated forum.
Best regards, Bauexperte
