ᐅ Y-Tong (aerated concrete) – a quality building material? (Sound insulation!)

Dear Forum,
Our developer plans to use "Ytong PPW2 d = 36.5 cm (14.4 inches) for the exterior walls according to the scope of work. Inside, 17.5 cm (6.9 inches). On the outside, a 3 mm (0.1 inch) mineral-based lightweight plaster will be applied. To me, this seems somewhat minimal compared to the insulation and materials others are using.
We are wondering if the thermal insulation requirements are met without additional insulation? And what about mold and ventilation? A air-to-water heat pump with underfloor heating is planned.
What worries us even more is the soundproofing, since we have a cobblestone street right outside. A friend who is an engineer told me yesterday that Ytong has "poor sound insulation properties."
So even triple-glazed windows with enhanced soundproofing probably won’t help much? [B] I would appreciate honest clarification and possibly some alternative suggestions. We are not experts and I don’t want to hear every car! Some friends of ours build with calcium silicate blocks and are very satisfied. Their father is an architect and swears by them.
Many thanks and best regards! We would be lost without you!

I don’t think it’s necessary to get personal here. It wasn’t personal. One should seriously consider the fact that the pleasant sounds are inevitably muffled as well.

It wasn’t taken personally. The fact that you inevitably dampen the pleasant outdoor sounds is something one should seriously consider in general.Sorry, then I misunderstood you. Yes, it really is important to consider that you also keep the nice sounds from outside.

danielohondo1 Feb 2021 10:43I’m bringing this thread back up. I spoke with a construction company today, and they recommended Liaplan. I’m hesitant to use Ytong, but Liaplan seems to combine all the advantages. Has anyone had experience with it?
