ᐅ Wood cladding on Poroton blocks as thermal bridges?

Hello expert team,

we are planning to partially decorate our house with wooden cladding, either between the windows on the upper floor or alternatively the entire upper floor (see draft).

Based on your experience, does installing wooden cladding have a significant negative impact on thermal insulation? The brick is likely to be an unfilled Poroton 36.5, but this is not yet finalized. The cladding does not need to be flush with the plaster. I am now also aware of the importance of sharp drill bits and that hammer drilling should be avoided, so that makes sense to me 🙂

Please excuse any generalizations or incorrect use of terms—I am certainly not a professional 🙂

A balcony is a completely different matter altogether...

I basically just wanted to say that there is a way to anchor without creating a thermal bridge. Whether this is practical or not is another matter. I assume the performance-to-length ratio (P/L) would no longer be valid in this case.
