Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum, so please excuse me if I forget something 🙂
My partner and I have purchased a plot of land, but it is located in noise level zone 3, which means we have certain soundproofing requirements for the exterior walls of the bedrooms.
Does anyone have experience with this and can advise us on which type of exterior masonry we need to comply with the DIN standard? We would like to use bricks because of the indoor climate. However, do we also need to consider additional insulation? How thick would the wall be in total? Or would it be better to use a different type of masonry block?
Thank you very much and best regards,
Pia und Eike

These bricks are ALWAYS not recommended. They are really a nightmare when it comes to sound insulation. Would calcium silicate blocks make more sense then?

So, does sand-lime brick make more sense then?When it comes to noise, they are unbeatable. And for summer heat protection, thanks to their high mass, they are also the best option if you provide proper shading. You just have to accept the external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS). For noise insulation on the outside, it would be my first choice by far.PiaundEike schrieb:

Thank you 🙂

What exactly is WDSV?External thermal insulation composite system (ETICS). This means applying insulation directly onto the masonry. It can be "plastic" foam, such as classic EPS, but also mineral wool boards, phenolic foam, vacuum insulation panels, and so on.Similar topics
