Hello everyone,
we are currently having the facade of our house replastered. In the process, we removed the first row of courtyard slabs in front of the facade so that the plasterer can easily reach the bottom.
Now there is the idea to install a dimpled membrane [Noppenfolie] since work is already being done on the facade – mainly to protect the plaster from rising moisture.
Regarding the conditions:
The house was built in 1975. The basement consists of concrete blocks, partially from sandstone (from an old building before the current house). The floors above, i.e., the main part of the facade, are made of Ytong. So far, we have had no problems with moisture or the like in the basement. On the facade, one can slightly see a kind of water line in the base area, but only if you know where to look.
Now our question is whether installing a dimpled membrane makes sense here or is rather counterproductive? And if one does install it, how deep should the basement be exposed for it to have any effect at all?
Thank you very much in advance!
