Hello everyone,
I have a question for the experts: which wall construction would you recommend for exterior walls in solid construction? Why did you choose that option?
In my opinion, there are very different views on this. Is it better to use a 24cm (9.5 inches) brick plus 17cm (7 inches) external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS), or rather a 42.5cm (17 inches) Poroton brick without insulation?
For me, soundproofing and a comfortable indoor climate are important. I’m not very convinced by ETICS, but maybe I have been advised incorrectly. That’s why I am interested in hearing your recommendations.
What about the plaster? Silicate plaster or lime plaster?

Are there any alternatives to the standard ETICS?Why look for alternatives to a long-proven system? It’s completely fine as it is.Johannes1982 schrieb:
Which types of render are mineral-based?Lime, cement, and silicate. These are also standard and well-established.Always keep in mind to use the construction method preferred by your chosen contractor. You shouldn’t force an ETICS installer to work monolithically if that might lead to construction defects.

He is not committed to any specific method, but I have the impression that he wants to go with EIFS (External Insulation and Finish System)! The other construction methods are probably more expensive, and he also cannot get the materials (bricks) as easily. Maybe he also has better terms with the wholesaler regarding the preferred construction method.
