Does the structural builder have to paint the transition between styrofoam and brick wall black?

Thank you for the feedback.

How should the sealing be done?
The architect did not say anything about it.

The plasterer for the exterior plaster installed this. He said it still needs to be painted black.

Hello Marchonich,

Your question about how the sealing and transitions are to be made must be answered by the architect as the overall planner.

Therefore, the architect must develop an effective concept for all sealing work. This also includes the transitions of different materials.

I would confront the architect with the obligation for professional planning (is stated in DIN 18195) and demand the planning service at short notice. This must also include the connections and surface transitions. Among other things, a drawing detail for the transition in question should then result, which would answer your question.

A recommendation for execution without having checked the location and documents is neither serious nor purposeful.

Best regards

Kristof

Thank you for the feedback. I will address this with the architect.

And what came out of it?

The structural engineer painted black with a bitumen mixture.

The thing with Styrofoam is such a myth because it doesn't do any good at all. If moisture gets in, the stuff soaks it up and molds. On the contrary, it harms - your health. So, get rid of it!
