Calcium silicate brick, similar or Ytong?

If I had to do it again (used Bims plan bricks for non-load-bearing interior walls, 11.5 cm), I would use Porit plan bricks because of the known properties.
Lime sandstone is no fun to chase, especially in walls where a lot is installed, such as kitchens.

Hello everyone,

I gather that the sand-lime brick with a thickness of 17.5cm is very heavy but definitely sufficient for a partition wall between the kitchen and living area. Although 11.5cm is also not exactly thin. I intended to anchor the wall to the other one with brackets, if that's feasible. Of course, we are talking about a concrete ceiling and floor between which I want to build up the wall.

On both sides, there will probably be one chase each and 2 holes made for boxes (standard depth 45mm or a deeper box 65mm).
And on the kitchen side, there are additionally some drillings for the cabinets over a width of 1.5m.

For 3.5m*3m that would be about 400 bricks (with 17.5cm thickness) which I would need, costing about €555; Hellweg has 3 pallets.

@Ippe:
What is the advantage of aerated concrete over sand-lime brick?

What is the advantage of aerated concrete compared to sand-lime brick?

Besides the weight, the much lower effort required for "chipping" slots.

Although 11.5 cm is certainly not exactly little.

If that's not little, then what is? :eek:

To be safe, I would definitely connect the bracket to the other walls. The best way is simply to anchor or bolt perforated metal strips and you're done.

Hi,

how on earth do you come up with 400 bricks?? You need 8 bricks per sqm. With 400 bricks, you could build 50 sqm of walls. That is already enough for the exterior wall of a single-family house.

Excuse me, how do you get 400 bricks?? You need 8 bricks per sqm.

He was talking about 3DF, that is 32 bricks per sqm, with 3 x 3.5 m (10.5 sqm) so 336 bricks.
