Brick vs. Ziegelit vs. Liapor vs. Wooden construction

Hello!

Next year, we want to buy a bungalow with 110-125 m² of living space.

We have now looked at the prefabricated houses in the model home park and are still very undecided about the building materials.

We quite liked the house from Bien-Zenker. They have a solid wood-brick wall. With 5cm "Vital bricks."
But I am not sure if these 5cm really make much difference regarding humidity and heat storage.

Then there is also the prefabricated house from Maba. There, the exterior walls are made with Ziegelit or Liapor.

Or we could go to a master builder. Near us, there is the company Wimberger. They offer "prefab but brick." The exterior wall consists of 25cm brick + full thermal insulation.

Maybe someone here has experience with one of these building materials and can give us some tips on which materials are best.

Of course, the wall cabinets in the kitchen should hold well on the wall and not fall down eventually. Furthermore, the whole house should not shake when a storm comes.

Best regards from Austria

Hello Empire!!!
My personal opinion is massive is massive...
I’m not sure if the information is correct now, but I suspect a (U-value from 0.16 W/ [B]you will need for your exterior walls..[/B]
What you mentioned about the company 25 bricks + facade seems very weak to me!!!
Nowadays, I would say the wall thickness for houses starts at 30-50 cm (exterior walls). The standard brick, I would say, is at least 38 cm.

Hello,

thank you for your reply.

Massive are indeed bricks, brick light or Liapor. But what is better now?

I assume that all companies reach <45 W/m²K because otherwise no funding would be granted and these houses probably would not be so easy to sell.

At the company Maba, the wall thickness with brick light is 40 cm including full thermal insulation and they achieve 0.15 W/m²K with it.
With Liapor, the wall is 45 cm including full thermal insulation and it also comes to 0.15 W/m²K.

Hello,

better for what, i.e. which features are your focus?

All systems have their advantages and disadvantages.

Hello,

Advantage of solid construction: more storage mass, which can be interesting for sound insulation.

Advantage of timber frame: more energy-efficient with thinner walls, without "castle character."

However, further details depend on the exact wall structure.

Best regards

So I would not only pay attention to the material but also to the fastening of it. Of course, Schakal's principle primarily applies: massive is massive, and massive is to be equated with quality, but only if it is well processed! Therefore, my tip is to take a closer look at the clip hooks because quality really matters here, otherwise the best material is useless if the fastening is not right.
