Hello,
we are currently planning a kitchen extension.
Our house was built in 1971 – wall construction: lime-sand – Hyperlite – brick veneer.
Completely renovated in 2003. Energy consumption is 86.8 kWh according to the energy certificate.
We want to remove a window element (2 m (6.6 ft)) and create a breakthrough leading into the new room.
Since parts of the existing brick exterior wall will become interior walls after the extension, I don’t want to simply place the new walls made of Ytong blocks in front of the brick wall. Instead, I plan to cut grooves into the existing brickwork about as deep as the thickness of the Ytong blocks and then bond the new Ytong blocks “into” the brick wall.
This way, a thermal separation of the brick wall will be created.
See – Room 2
Good idea?? Or not clear?? Or maybe other suggestions?
Thank you
