Hello everyone,
my girlfriend and I live in a Streif Haus bungalow house with a hip roof from 1974. Since a new build would be too expensive for us (an old cellar would not support a new house either), we want to completely renovate our bungalow from the ground up. What is especially important to us is the facade including new windows and doors, so that the heat doesn’t just fly out in the winter.
I now have two offers (more to follow). Both offer to remove the old insulation, treat the stud frame, dismantle the old Eternit panels, and install new insulation. One company offers an external thermal insulation composite system with external plaster, and the other offers an Isoklinker. Both are roughly the same price (around €38,000, approx. €330 per sqm including installation).
Yesterday I spoke with a third provider and when I asked if they also work with brick slips Isoklinker, he said that should not be done because they are very susceptible (the joints) and there could be problems in the wall because moisture cannot properly escape. Therefore, they would plaster.
Today I then spoke with an expert (through a short contact at work) and he asked why we don’t just leave everything as it is and only fully brick the facade. That would be much cheaper, after all. He said it would cost about €130 per sqm plus foundation. But then I would still have the contaminated waste in the wall. What are your opinions on this?
My girlfriend and I lean towards the bricks because it looks quite nice, but if it really is susceptible, then of course we would refrain from it. Thanks for your assessments!
