Hello,
We are planning an extension.
Unfortunately, the plot is relatively narrow.
We have three types of masonry to choose from:
Facing brick plus Poroton
Facing brick plus aerated concrete block

We want a U-value below 0.18.
How should we insulate to achieve this value?
The exterior wall should be less than 350mm (14 inches) thick.

Thank you for your help!

That’s not possible; not even with an extension built according to the specifications of a prefabricated wall.

Kind regards

Hello building expert,
Here is the wall structure:
17.5cm (7 inches) aerated concrete, 8cm (3 inches) insulation?, 11.5cm (4.5 inches) facing brick
Looking for good insulation with a small thickness?
Best regards

Just calculate it yourself. Or have it calculated 🙂
