Hello Forum,
As the title suggests, we are considering which type of masonry to use if we want to build thin walls without additional insulation.
My parents built their house almost 20 years ago using traditional bricks (36cm (14 inches)) without any insulation. Now an architect told us that this is probably no longer allowed because of energy-saving regulations, but he wasn’t sure either ("not my area" ).
Regards,
Stephan

- We want to make the most of the interior space, so preferably thin walls
- The house is located on a very quiet street, no aircraft noise or similar, so sound insulation is not an issue
- We do not aim to build a passive house, KfW55 standard, or anything comparable
Regards,
Stephan

"Thin" walls would only be feasible with insulation (for example, 24 + 12 or 17.5 + 16 centimeters (9.5 + 5 or 7 + 6.3 inches)), but 36.5 centimeters (14.4 inches) can be built as a solid wall using various building materials. My advice is to use the material that the builder is familiar with, and not to change it "carelessly" to one that is praised elsewhere (each forum faction and contractor seems to have their favorite masonry material).
