Hello everyone,
I’m new here and have already browsed the forum a bit for my question, but haven’t found anything quite suitable so far.
We are in the final stages of working with our construction company, and one of the bigger topics for us is the wall construction.
We definitely want a brick or brick slip finish – but because of the quality, we are leaning towards real bricks.
Using a T8 block (36.5cm (14.4 inches)) with brick, the wall thickness ends up just under 50cm (20 inches).
We are a bit unsure whether that might be too thick and possibly look odd. Does anyone have experience with this?
And what are your experiences regarding the indoor climate with this kind of wall construction?

What is still missing is what motivated the change of mind.

24cm (9.5 inches) masonry
12cm (5 inches) mineral facade insulation with fleece
1cm (0.4 inches) air gap
11.5cm (4.5 inches) facing bricksThat's nearly 50cm (20 inches) again. Why? Are you aiming for passive house standard? Otherwise, I don’t understand the 24cm (9.5 inches) masonry. The air gap is unnecessary.Is it really necessary to insist on building with Poroton (24cm plus insulation) here? Has the "indoor climate" marketing had an effect?
Personally, I don’t see 50cm (20 inches) as a problem. With a double-shell construction, you are always over 40cm (16 inches). In my opinion, a few centimeters more or less shouldn’t be a big concern.

Well, with calcium silicate brick, it would be only 41cm (16 inches). That means quite a bit of space is lost. Not to mention the different lighting effect and the look with thinner exterior walls. The 50cm (20 inches) that the original poster calculated has only disadvantages.
There is a dividing line running roughly across the country: north of it, they use white materials like aerated concrete blocks (such as Ytong) or calcium silicate bricks, while south of it, they use Poroton or similar clay blocks. However, warm, dry houses can be found with both types.
