Good day!
For my first house 20 years ago, I built the following wall structure: a 24cm (9.5 inches) interior shell made of Liapor solid wall elements (Lechner Massivhaus system), 6cm (2.5 inches) of mineral insulation, a 4cm (1.5 inches) air gap, and an 11.5cm (4.5 inches) brick veneer. The brick veneer is connected to the interior shell with many wire ties. After 20 years, I can say that this was probably a very good solution.
In case I build again, I am considering doing something very similar, but this time I might make the interior shell thicker. What would be the better overall solution? A 36cm (14 inches) interior shell, 6cm (2.5 inches) insulation, 4cm (1.5 inches) air gap, and then the brick veneer? Or would the 36cm (14 inches) Liapor shell alone be sufficient to just attach the brick veneer with an air gap?
