Hello,
we are currently facing the choice of building material... We were offered brick and aerated concrete, with no price difference according to the statement, and the company processes both 60/40%. There have always been trends, sometimes more brick, sometimes more aerated concrete.
A single-family house of 140-150 sqm is to be built, KFW40 standard (if it is subsidized, if not 55), monolithic, with central ventilation and air-to-water heat pump. The shell construction is to be done in-house.
I have meanwhile read that aerated concrete insulates somewhat better, while brick is preferable for sound insulation. Even when asking known builders, you get 15 opinions from 10 people. Nearby, a secondary school is being built and a state road runs 300 meters away. I have attached excerpts from the acoustic report in the attachment.
Are there advantages for one product in this constellation or can I basically "flip a coin"?
Thanks for your opinions
